If Stevens really is the most likely candidate, I know people have mentioned the date of the NBA trade deadline as being a significant thing to keep an eye on. I’m curious to know how so? Let’s say 100% it’s going to be Brad, wondering how that would tie into Woodson being gone and if it’d trigger any now info or announcement of him being gone and Brad being the guy.

If Woodson retires, then Michigan knows our job is open and can sign him to an extension. If we have Stevens lined up none of that matters. 
Also after the trade deadline, the only thing left to do is set your playoff roster. He could be free to do other things.

Will Wade with his high D1 players playing in the Southland is currently in a battle with Incarnate Word at home.  Incarnate up 1 with 40 sec to go

Just win to move to 28-2 in the Southland through his first 30 games. McNeese St hadn’t had a winning record since 2011….

I would know what you want to buy but I don’t think you should rush out this week or anything.

I know I actually was watching the game.  Not hard to do when you bring high D1 talent into a league like the Southland

His starters are from UMass, St Louis, UTSA, Louisiana, and a guy from Syracuse who averaged 6 points a game. The fact he can bring talent to the Southland at a place like McNeese St speaks volumes.

If Kentucky couldn’t do it, Indiana certainly isn’t doing it.

Come on now. 

The mods HAVE to be hiring some trolls to keep the engagement up in this forum. LOL

NGW (or whoever it was last Spring), Tyme, Cathy, etc...

This is just straight-up trolling at this point. 

Ok, carry on...

Where on Earth did I say Pitino Jr is the best IU could do? I literally said if you’re going to bring up mid-major guys like Calhoun and McCollum, Pitino Jr should be in that discussion as well. GD when did reading become a skill?

IU could hire Wade or Beard tomorrow and that’s likely the best they could do as those are two phenomenal coaches. I think Mick Cronin would strongly consider IU as well.

But if IU isn’t going to entertain somebody with some baggage, then it’ll be the up and coming/mid-major route. No sitting tenured P5 coach with a history of sustained success is going to jump ship for this fishbowl.  If that’s the route IU does go, Pitino should absolutely get a look.

Man, he’s playing all the hits in one post!

McNeese State making strong @$$ offers it would seem.

I can't imagine why Stevens would ever consider coaching at IU. He is in the best of all possible basketball worlds right now. IU would be a huge step down in my opinion.

Now that you mention it, it does seem suspicious. USPS is really the only mod who engages him. I’m going to keep my eye on this.

Maybe someone will ask him that at the upcoming press conference in Bloomington.

Let me answer for you 1.5 million vs 10 million. Sometimes you miss the thing that made you fall in love with the sport. Being a GM is boring but drawing up plays and coaching is exciting. Makes the blood flow.

No I’m saying I like that USPS doesn’t let him freely troll us.

I was watching Sleepers Media today on the IU/PU game review. One of the guys the MSU fan said he goes to IU message board to troll fans because it is fun. Maybe this is the guy
