The Van Patten family

ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS. 

I might be the only one on this board who gets this. 

Hearkens back to an old Indiana talk show host ...

For the oldies……

if van patten is negotiating, you don’t need to offer ten million….Eight is Enough.

That is good.  That is very good.

@Lucky welcome to btb.  I think I need an interpreter for your first post but glad to have you with us and hope to see you as a frequent poster.

This a good episode to listen to. It is about fan expectations and how fans deal with them. I watched on YouTube today and it was a very good listen. You can also find it on YouTube but couldn't find it on my phone, I watched it on TV and not my phone.

I see people on a free message board talking about Stevens as a coaching possibility.  No harm in people wanting to believe something will happen.   Kind of what free message boards were made for.  Talking about possibilities 

….not AH……lol

I guess my main concern is that when Steven's isn't hired it will come back as the administration was incompetent. People believe it is going to happen then when it doesn't happen they will blame people even though it wasn't ever a possibility.

My concern is if we don’t get Stevens, we end up with Woody part 2. I don’t think it will happen if Dolson has a say. But my main concern isn’t that we miss yet again on Stevens. That’s just Tuesday around here. 

[HoosierMatty 486]

My only expectation is Dolson hires someone who knows how to coach. And that it will be his decision. Big name or not it doesn't matter. That's all I can hope or expect. If it's Steven's I will be elated. But I don't want to set my self up to be disappointed.

Baloney.  30 minutes ago you said they were ‘talking to like 10 coaches right now.

They can talk with a bunch.  Dolson has already reached out.  I just said don’t be shocked if he is the coach.  

[IUFAN1976 4,094]

I don’t know if this has been brought up or if it is even a concern but how do we know if Stevens has the drive to even coach college basketball or if he developed some of same bad NBA habits that you see with Mike Woodson.  It just seems to me that NBA coaches have a lot less responsibility than college coaches.  They don’t have to recruit and develop players, all they have to do is develop offenses that fit their players, make starting lineups, and sub players. I know I’m downsizing it some but you see my point.  So could it be a concern?

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. 

Was this the Yeagley Bomb that we've been waiting on?

It was not. I haven’t seen that mentioned anywhere on here. I’m not sharing either.

have you heard they’re talking to others?

Simple matter of playing the odds. Even a blind squirrel finds an acorn on that rare occasion. 

Yeah, but the king says you hire micah you hire micah. This king has a 7-4 record and the king runs the show

He hinted about a week ago for Chris to dm him to see if info matched up. We never heard anything else.

Yes. But today was the first time I heard McCollam but I believe that poster.

Is it we are hiring micah who keeps Woodson and Wittman on as advisors?

I think he’s a bad fit.  But I also think he’s the most likely hire unfortunately.  

Given his buyout at UM, I think he has to be Plan B after Stevens.  Hes not as high on my list either, but for some others, he’s their #1 candidate.
