Interesting little factoid: the Celtics(19) and the Lakers(18) have combined for 37 NBA championships. The next most is Golden St with 5. Now, in the combined history of those 2 dominant franchises, anybody want to take a swing at who has coached the most games WITHOUT winning 1 of those 37 championships? That would be Brad Stevens with 636. Oh, and the HC before him, Doc Rivers, and the one following him, Joe Mazzulla(Udoka doesn’t count) both have rings. Am I saying that Stevens isn’t top shelf? Of course not. But he’s not K either, at least not yet, and if I have to listen to Stevens-as-Savior talk for the next 2 1/2 months I’m probably just gonna have to lightly troll it every now and then. Somebody’s gotta be that guy.

Comparing NBA championships to NCAA championships to make an argument is something. How many years did coach K coach in the NBA? How did the resources at Butler compare to Duke?

I haven't heard a single person lobby for Calbert to be our permanent head coach.  Fill in the remainder of this season but nothing more than that.  I'm worried about your mental health once Woody is gone.  

You worry too much. It's a message board dude and Woodson isnt going to lose me any sleep. I sleep like a baby every night. The question is how do you sleep.

IU isn't to holy for Pearl. Dolson wanted to pull the trigger. Beard there's just no way that one would happen. 

Yea, IUBB's problems do not include passing on guys like Beard.  Frankly, I'm tired of people bringing him up.  Hire him and it's an immediate reputation hit to IU and if he has any sort of relapse here it's a total disaster situation for the university and whoever hired him is getting fired.

And personally, I've read the reports and I don't really want a guy that gets in that sort of DV situation as our coach.

[Hornsby]

I think all of our mental healths can only improve once we finally get over this gosh darn hump. 

The fact he thinks I let Woodson control my mental health is laughable. It's a message board and something fun to do during the slow season at work. The old keyboard warrior making mental health evaluations based on message board posts. Lol.

But context matters. There's nothing objectively excellent about players just because they play in Boston. So what was the C's roster when Stevens got the job and what was the roster he left to the next guy? Because Stevens' last Boston roster was a developing Tatum and Smart and a long list of hot garbage next to them.

Also notable that he has a college coaching resume from Butler that is purty good.

well, yesterday morning my 1-year-old was jumping up and down on the bed, eating a pouch, and watching Mickey.... at 430AM... 

You tell me

Is Brad Stevens the HC yet?  

[ap2345]

No

[choosierred1]

It goes beyond ego with woodson. There is something mentally off. His inability to see reality or accept and sort of criticism makes me think he has other issues. He is just in LA LA Land

Probably from smoking too many "left-handers".

Shew. 

He took Matt Howard, Shelvin Mack, and Ronald Nored to the National Championship game as an 8/9 seed. Think Doc Rivers would do that? he needed KG, Ray Allen, Rondo, and Paul Pierce to win a title. 

I don't think I value any single season that Coach K had over Brad Stevens's 2nd championship game appearance.

Actually, the Luxury Tax penalties get easier to manage (lower penalties) starting next year.

we received a silent commit that he was fired after the Bahamas trip.  He elected to return on the team plane for whatever reason.

With my eyes closed.  And you can remove the word 'dude' from your posting vocabulary.  I'm not a dude for you nor is anyone else on btb.  Don't push your luck.  It happened once, it can happen again.

Leal says chill dude...sorry I couldn't resist.  I will go sit in the corner now.

I don't think IU will win tonight  no idea how the score will be ,also doubt they will win on Tuesday  either .I  think the only reason he 

(Woodson  )  won when we played PU  was because of TJD and JHS  and the others .Also did TJD have a lot of player only meetings which I think he probably helped guide the team .This current team seem so ill fit they don't seem to have a real leader and are all trying to do their own thing .

I am worried if they were to go on a winning streak that year 5 is forced upon us and if that is the case may have to look for a new basketball team to root for .My dream is find a CC coach in basketball .

Keeping hearing names but don't know all of them  .

[RaceToTheTop]

I nominate The Hump to be the next coach.  If you can’t beat it, join it.
