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 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

Yep. Prestige is not everything, and we also know Stevens is not a guy necessarily committed to following conventional wisdom. I mean he left a career at Eli Lilly to do college basketball. Maybe the guy wants to coach college basketball again. He's already reached the mountain top in the NBA. You're telling me you'll roughly 6x my salary, with a lower COL, to return to my home state? 

Anybody acting like it's entirely delusional is just refusing to acknowledge any validity to other ways of looking at the picture. I think the UNC AD joked about how everyone says your first call as an AD should be to Jay Wright or Brad Stevens... he wasn't wrong about that, that's why it's funny. The thing is, Indiana may be the one school that Brad Stevens actually entertains. We'll find out soon enough. 

Important to remember, as fans our wishes mean nothing in this process. Just have to hope Dolson is at work behind the scenes. Of course Stevens would be awesome... doesn't mean other hires wouldn't be able to win big here, we all see that. It's just fun to hope.

How does that differentiate from any schedule McNeese St has played in the last 15 years? Are you seriously trying to knock the job Wade has done at one of the worst jobs in the country?

Still telling your “ghost stories” I see.
