Have had an epiphany. Beard to IU as what? The answer is Associate Head Coach for…….Brad Stevens. And now it all makes sense. Brad isn’t just some coach/executive. He is, in fact, Keyser Soze. He’s able to simply bend men’s wills to his own, or so I keep hearing.  And Beard is his Kobayashi. IU basketball is about to enter a golden age that John Wooden only dreamed of. Schools will hang banners for LOSING NC’s to this monolith. And, my friends, the dawn of a new age is only 2 short months away. 

Pro tip: cut the gummy in half next time.

Wow, Mr. One Post hops in with a horribly vague and stupid first post.

10 mgs is the pro move, a half is like drinking decaf

They are already talking with him.  I wouldn’t be shocked if he is the coach at the end of the day.  

Baloney.  30 minutes ago you said they were ‘talking to like 10 coaches right now.

Sorry I’m not totally following , but do you like Dusty or don’t want him?

I think he’s a bad fit.  But I also think he’s the most likely hire unfortunately.

Person I know says Woodson is done.  They are talking with like 10 coaches right now.  McCollum is one of them and has a pretty good chance.  Very likable.  They will go for the big dogs first but wouldn’t be shocked if it’s him either. Very likeable and a lot of coaches like him as well.  

And the other 9 are?

Similar demeanor to Stevens. I think an Oats, Pearl, Otzwlberger are better fits

Nah.  Stevens is a lot more like Coach K.  I’m sure Dusty is an extremely nice guy and that’s a lot of the problem.

As skeptical as I am, I'd love for IU to finally hire a big dog and say "we're done screwing around", especially after saying "we couldn't possibly be less serious" by hiring Woodson. 

There are fanbases that don't want IU to make a big time hire and get this turned around.

Harbaugh to Michigan is probably the best analogue to Stevens coming back. I say it’s a done deal…

ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS. 

I might be the only one on this board who gets this. 

Hearkens back to an old Indiana talk show host ...

This a good episode to listen to. It is about fan expectations and how fans deal with them. I watched on YouTube today and it was a very good listen. You can also find it on YouTube but couldn't find it on my phone, I watched it on TV and not my phone.

I see people on a free message board talking about Stevens as a coaching possibility.  No harm in people wanting to believe something will happen.   Kind of what free message boards were made for.  Talking about possibilities 

….not AH……lol
