I don't care if it's rampant wild speculation, I'm like a pig in mud. 

So the day after the Purdue game, Dolson gets on a flight to the same airport the Celtics charter from, and spends an hour there talking to Brad and his wife. Dolson flies home in time for the women's game vs. Nebraska the next day and Brad flies to Philly the next day for their game. That was Sunday. By Wednesday evening, rumblings started about the "forced" retirement. 

Don’t forget the leaked story of Woodsons IU body guard …

The regional airport in Bedford, MA (BED) is Laurence G. Hanscom Field Airport. Located right next to Hanscom Air Force Base. 
 

Both located 20 minutes from Wellesley, MA where the Stevens’ live.  

Stuuuuuuuuuu!

probably nothing. Just having some fun.

FWIW I was asked away from the open board about a flight from Hartford to Bloomington earlier today. My answer was “hell no, that’s 2:30 drive from Wellesley. But if it was Hanscom AFB that’d be different!” So when this came up I found it funny/interesting.

I haven't read the 100s of pages today.  So please explain why exactly people believe Brad Stevens would come coach IU bball after being in the NBA for the past decade plus.  Fool me once...

How does that adversely affect IU ?

It doesn't really.  I think what adversely affects IU is the way this is coming about.  Normal people meet for a few hours.  Either "hey, I am thinking of retiring after the season" or "hey, Mike, I think you need to retire after the season." "Lets talk."  Iron out the details and then issue a press release and/or press conference.  It's relatively simple and seamless.  

But not at IU, with Woodson, Buckner, and the rest of the clowns.  I am sure Dolson feels like he's trying to juggle knives.  "Mike doesn't want to retire, you need to do this, this and that.  Give him the season.  He's doing his job, etc. etc."  It's really not that hard, but IU has to make it hard.

Because it’s Brad Stevens

Let's not lose sight of the fact a student apparently joined the Hysterics twitter space today and said a student manager told them Woody came in today and said he quits. I mean... wow

[HoosierFan1994 4,933]

If I remember right, Miller was in the main group for the 2017 Hot Board, Woodson was nowhere near the top in 2021. Interesting list for sure.

Because he’s tired of making 1.5 million when he could be making 10 million in Bloomington

The “why” is easy. Money, proximity to elderly parents and to family, the want to continue coaching when someone is at a young age, professional variety.

The counter-arguments to that “why“ are also notable and numerous.

Therefore, the “would he“ is far trickier.

He’s stated previously it’s his dream job.  Son is at ND. Parents are getting older and Bloomington is closer to home.   A lot has changed.  Celts for sale.  New nba contract rules. Won a ring.  
 

If he passes and a guy like May takes it, the job won’t open for 15+ years.  It’s now or never for him. 
 

allegedly he left originally bc he didn’t like recruiting kids and schools coming in the 11th hour and stealing them.  IU NIL changes a lot of that.

If BS comes here after turning down the job last cycle, I would be shocked...ecstatic, but shocked.  I understand how the landscaped has changed.  I won't get my hopes up this time.

If you read carefully what Jerry said, he said “we’re getting our guy”….very specific and I’m sure one could argue the majority of those in those forum would consider their guy to be Brad Steven’s….i mean, “numbers are being discussed”…the fav

 

As I understood it, numbers were discussed previously....that wasn't the issue... it was the family vote with heavy-handed misogynistic interference by Steve Ferguson... 

But, I could live with Brad Stevens as IU's coach if Dolson can make it happen.

There’s a joke to be made here that, to be clear, I am NOT making. Credit to me, an all time nice guy. 

I'm going to make it seamless for you, I'm giving the EXACT same look as Oladipo in that Pic.  Most people won't be able to tell that there was an edit.

From what I've gathered, one Turd named Ferguson had A LOT to do with it.
