First off, it is not just any NBA team.  2ndly, the last I heard is from 4 years ago when it was alleged that Brad Stevens and his family loved Boston. The Midwest is just flyover country. Yeah, selling to recruits come to Indiana and get a top-notch education.  Here where 2/3rd of our population think that anyone with a college education is elitist and show be shunned or shot.  Since then, there are other rumors that that may have other factors...making Indiana look better.  3rd, who would want to work 24/7 coddling and teaching and selling to young adults that are spoiled and just want to get into the NBA or get their names out there on social media?  And dealing with helicopter parents...yeah, no.  Oh, forgot...just recruit Indiana kids...that want to play at Indiana....yeah, sure.  Tey still exist and are athletic, smart, ballers?  Compete against the new Purdue or Notre Dame or next door to MSU, UM, OSU and UK?  Go for it.  Very attractive.  Success guaranteed.  Unlimited NIL.  Buy your way to competition.

Well Cignetti does it very well.  Comon. 

Yeah, what you described is no longer college athletics. NIL you don't have to worry about parents or events anymore. Do you want to come play here? If so what is your price? You either pay it or you don't.

A lot changes in 4 years. The Celtics won a championship. The team is for sale, new owners might want to go in a different direction, and they have to unload some players here soon due to contracts, so going to be a rebuild. Kids are older, son is in college in Indiana, parents are older and live in Indiana. Might want to be closer to them. His contract is up in June anyway.

Flight from Boston -> Zionsville this morning.. Hmmm...

N63RA Flight Tracking and History 07-Feb-2025 (KBED-KTYQ) - FlightAware

Previously, I worked in the management of an international airport system.  There are ways to drill into the information that you have provided.  This plane is owned by the Royal Air Freight Company.  It is flying out of a reliever airport in the Boston area.  The specific jet is a 7 seat Cessna 550 Bravo Citation.  A fine business jet. The Cessna 550 Citation Bravo is a light business jet that can seat up to seven passengers. It has a range of 2,187 miles and a cruise speed of 462 miles per hour. 

Speculating..this jet may be used by any paying passenger or passengers.  By taking the N63RA tail number and searching for details of flights, one can see at least the last 7 flights.  This plane gets around and does not seem to be flying just from Boston or just from anywhere in Indiana..

Osterman Was just on 107.5.  
 

Most of what he said was worthless, but at the very end, I think he seemed to make it very clear that Woody is not wanting to go quietly   

So he wants to hear more boos? I guess the fans will give him his wish.

Royal Air sounds like a plane fit for a King :)

I actually think that working in the front office of an NBA team would be a huge advantage to navigating NIL at the college level. 

It would also be a good selling point that he’s been the orchestrator of winning at both levels. I have zero apprehension of the college game passing him by. Will he pull the trigger?  Some people are gonna look awfully smart if he does.

This is what I hear/imagine in my head when I read majority of AH1971 post.

Well we all know by now that AH doesn’t stand for Assembly Hall!

Just in case this hasn't been posted.... The retiring news is out!

https://www.heraldtimesonline.com/story/sports/college/iu/2025/02/06/indiana-basketball-coach-mike-woodson-considering-retiring-at-end-of-2024-25-season/78237289007/

Indiana basketball coach Mike Woodson is considering retiring. Discussions underway about his future

I love the "discussions underway about his future"....LMAO...IU gonna frick things up again. There is no discussion...He needs to be gone. My boss wanted to fire me but I said "well, I might retire ..lets just agree to keep the discussion open"...LMAO...Unbelievable...Surely Dolson does not think the fan base would be upset???

RE: Stevens, obviously sticking where he is makes the most sense on paper IMO. There are still valid reasons he could choose to come to IU though, and we know he is not deterred by general consensus of what he “should” or should not do. The Eli Lilly to Butler move proves that. Seems to me his choice would boil down to 1) minority ownership stake in one of the two most valuable NBA franchises vs 2) paid handsomely to return to his home state as a beloved figure and try to win the college title that eluded him at Butler. 

I know what I would choose, less clear to me how Brad and his family weigh things out.

All things come back to George Costanza.... Woody is going to walk into today as if nothing happened and just try to move on coaching his team for the rest of the season
