I can see him wanting to do GM route at IU… wouldn’t surprise me at all.

It’s a joke lol

So… Brad Stevens as GM and Dusty May as head coach.

 

Will it into existence.

How about no

@Chris007 accurate?

 

Most of it sounds about right. I was told the first offer that happened last week was still 7 years 70 million but could go up to 12 million a year. 
 

I have never heard anyone mention Schrews name. Woodson has been open in telling people that IU is going hard after Stevens. 
 

The other stuff about family seems to be correct but not sure about the Boston wanting him to fulfill his contract.

It would make more sense than Stevens coaching in college, it’s been how long?

I don't know if any of that is true but I will say that it's both hilarious and true to character for Woodson to think he's done enough to get to choose his replacement.

I already didn't want Shrewsberry as the next coach based on his record, now I want him even less.

I think we can say the only part that is true is IU is pining for Steven’s again. 
 

I would in no way want Woody to have any hand in choosing the next coach, but I can see it from his perspective. He has to know this is going south and it’s killing his once stellar reputation with his only fan base—IU fans. So as part of his negotiating his exit him and Buckner try and get a say in the next coach so if they succeed he can basically be welcomed back and essentially frame it as “I saved IU from the disastrous Archie era and helped set us up for the current guy (who ideally is succeeding).”  
 

At first the Shrews thing seems random but 1) he knows him from their time in the B1G, and 2) possibly knows him from their time as nba assistants. They’re both from Indianapolis and maybe they have an old/guy young guy relationship surrounding that fact.  
 

Seems ridiculous but technically plausible. Also, if Buckner and Dolson have that adversarial relationship, you know the Woody-Buckner camp is going to push someone that isn’t a Steven’s/May Dolson dream candidate.

Would be more fun if it were a yes.

I do think that in today’s game, with NIL basically being free agency, modern college programs need a GM so the coach can focus on coaching. Also helps to prevent the burn out we know exists with coaches and recruiting.

Woodson has been telling people IU is going hard after Stevens?! Damn!

Why would he want sheewsberry?  Does he know him in some way.  There is no Iu connection.  Only thing they have in common is they both aren’t good at coaching basketball from why I can tell.  

I’m sure they have more things in common than 1 thing!

He’s going to throw a giant wrench in it somehow

Does Woodson accept an NIT bid this year? Those decisions have always seemed to be telling

In what way? I do think it’s a strong possibility so he can keep his claws in the bb program a little longer

During halftime of the Minnesota game yesterday they talking about the College Basketball Crown, which is a new tournament sponsored by Fox and played in Vegas. It’s 16 teams and played the week before the Final Four. They were projecting IU and Nebraska to be in that field

They didn’t project that IU would be in it at the end of the season, just that would be in it as of now.

I’m sorry, but isn’t this an obvious statement? How else does one project except based on performance to date? Predicting future performance would rely on many more assumptions.

There are tools to predict future outcomes.

This could very well be Brad’s last chance at the job.  If he is to pass this time (again) and IU doesn’t totally massacre this hire, there may not be a change for 15+ years.   
 

Now, knowing IU’s history of messing up these things, it’s possible he’ll have another shot.  But I’m guessing Brad recognizes our situation, NIL, etc and that it would definitely be a long-term destination job for other candidates (ie - May, Beard, etc.)  I suppose the only caveat would be a guy like Pearl, but sounds like that shipped sailed. 
 

Anyway, I’m guessing Brad is highly contemplating if it’s now or never.

Others know what you mean.  You are good, just keep posting.  Welcome to the board!  Hope you continue posting

Just wondering aloud: has Stevens coached his son at all in prep or youth ball? I would guess not (haven’t seen if anywhere), but have no insight.

But he may only have 3 or 4 more years to do it, and Shrews isn’t on the hot seat at ND. You probably don’t make this sort of move just so you can coach your son, but I wonder if it tugs on your heartstrings at least a little.

Yes, I’ve wondered this too and it dovetails somewhat with my comment about coaching his son.

And there is the Woodson, Buckner, Ferguson and others factor!  Woodson will not g quietly into the night!
