I'm not taking much from "we have our guy" to he honest. IU can feel good about where things stand and it not matter. We thought that last time and ended up with Woodson.

I'd be ecstatic to land Stevens, but going from the front office of one of the most storied NBA franchises to college coach is a big step down so I'll believe it when it's announced. Indiana could offer a big salary and the Celtics could still up it with something like interest in the franchise. Granted we don't know what his motivations are.

I'd just brace for something disappointing like Richard Pitino.

If we end up with Pitino, its because everyone else turned us down IMO...if we are going down that far, we might as well see if Crean wants a second try....

It's probably nothing. I'm guessing we would be dealing with Tracy right now. Or it all might already be done

I appreciate the subtlety there…

First post,

Long time lurker for years. This thread has been awesome today, thanks for the entertainment and 100 plus refreshes. 

You've officially voided your status as a lurker.  Welcome to btb.

Which Pitino are we talking about here.  The old one or the young one.

Young one....Rick would never be an option....what is he 80 now?

The King doesn’t show up until 10 likely. Team practices early afternoon if I remember correctly.

Rick Pitino is 72, IU would never consider him at this point, and he would not consider leaving St. John's for IU at this point in his life.

Done and done.

Is it really a step down? I’m not trying to be flippant here but is being a GM of an NBA team a bigger deal than being a head coach at a top 10 basketball school? I’m not an NBA fan but I couldn’t name a single GM or front office guy for an NBA team.

I have been a long-time stalker of this site and actually had another account a while back that I could not remember. Thanks for having me! I'm always looking forward to the JY and Chris bombs lol. Sounds like the Hoosiers future may be bright, and I am all here for it!

I walk past there every morning at around 8 or 8:30 on my way to work and for the last month his car has been there early, as if he was trying to show that he worked hard.

It feels good to lose a Woody for once

No blue pill if our Woody has lasted more than 4 years it’s time to go seek medical help right away.

Articles like this give me hope......and feelings in certain regions that I will not discuss.  Please please please hire Stevens!!  He would be a rock star and the whole fan base would be his groupie.

It's always easy to see when he's there, because of the way he parks.
