Woodson has been telling people IU is going hard after Stevens?! Damn! 

Yeah his security guy at IUPD has been telling people that Woodson told him this is his last season because IU wants Stevens.

This could very well be Brad’s last chance at the job.  If he is to pass this time (again) and IU doesn’t totally massacre this hire, there may not be a change for 15+ years.   
 

Now, knowing IU’s history of messing up these things, it’s possible he’ll have another shot.  But I’m guessing Brad recognizes our situation, NIL, etc and that it would definitely be a long-term destination job for other candidates (ie - May, Beard, etc.)  I suppose the only caveat would be a guy like Pearl, but sounds like that shipped sailed. 
 

Anyway, I’m guessing Brad is highly contemplating if it’s now or never. 

Yeah if he passes this time and Dusty takes then he probably won’t get another opportunity. Dusty is only two years younger I believe so he could have the job for the next 20 years.

And there is the Woodson, Buckner, Ferguson and others factor!  Woodson will not g quietly into the night!

Woodson can’t say much, Buckner is not on the train as much as he was last season. All big donors are ready to move on.

This has always been the card I'd play if I was Dolson. Next guy will be here for a long haul so this is your shot Brad. Hoping Dolson is smart enough to know he has SOME leverage if Brad really does have interest.

That sounds positive

It’s more like IU doesn’t want Woodson anymore!

Would be more fun if it were a yes.

I do think that in today’s game, with NIL basically being free agency, modern college programs need a GM so the coach can focus on coaching. Also helps to prevent the burn out we know exists with coaches and recruiting.

I'd vote Stevens GM, May as HC before Cuban and Stevens/May personally.

It would make more sense than Stevens coaching in college, it’s been how long?

No it doesn’t

A guy like Brad isn’t coming back to college to be a GM. That position is so over blown at the college level imo

It’s over for Woodson. He knows it. It’s a when not if situation 

[JSHoosier 22,240]

In this era I could see a GM type role happening in basketball, some football programs have one IIRC, but Stevens and May? No chance. I'd take Stevens

I know that part, but it’s the part that he won’t go quietly into the night!  I still think he’s leaving kicking and screaming

In what way? I do think it’s a strong possibility so he can keep his claws in the bb program a little longer 

Is there contract bonus for an NIT berth? Knowing Buckner, there probably is.

[JF87 2,149]

I used to like Shrewsberry, but I don't now since an anonymous poster said that Woodson and Buckner want him to succeed Woodson someday.

So if Woodson knows it, which I don’t doubt, does that mean he thinks it could still be before the season ends if the situation is more of a when not if?

What could be his argument for another year?

During halftime of the Minnesota game yesterday they talking about the College Basketball Crown, which is a new tournament sponsored by Fox and played in Vegas. It’s 16 teams and played the week before the Final Four. They were projecting IU and Nebraska to be in that field 

Well, it would give the Huskers one more turn at beating Woodson's @$$.

Needs time to get his players?

I could see his 3 remaining fans saying that. They were also convinced his atyle of play would be different.

Poor Mike. I feel so bad for him... IU is kicking him to the curb for Brad Stevens? #shameful
