So he’s not working at 6 am?

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

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.

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.

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.

Welcome to the board!

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.

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.

Unfortunately, you have to get a Woody to lose a Woody.

Him showing up to work at 8am is the most surprising thing I've read in the last couple days.

HAHA he's not coming in early anymore. I'm not totally sold on him coaching Saturday either.

I stole this from @BGVille Hoosierfan on another site. 

We are definitely there again tracking flights and wild speculations.

Did he pay someone to drive his car up there, then came to work in a Lyft? LOL

I wish we had some media willing to wait outside AH to try to catch Woody when he goes into the office.  Trying to get a comment from him would be good content.

Looks like that plane has a short layover and is heading out to Oakland. Would we not get him on one of our private jets? 

Buckner is using all of them.

Can we preemptively move the DUI vs Domestic Violence discussion to any other thread on this board?

I am not the media, but I could move my office hours this morning to the AH parking lot, and give journalism a shot.

Well, we usually have 1 or 2 stalkers out there when coaching search starts.....We look down upon it but will still take any info a stalker can give...LOL

I’m a little hacked off that @JerryYeagley23 has the audacity to think he can have a personal or professional life that doesn’t revolve around this board and my need for insider info. Pretty sad.

If you’re talking about Woody’s car, it’s not even noon there yet. He doesn’t come in until noon.
