First, you guys are hilarious. Reading the pages I missed on a long travel day is great.  I guess I missed the chance to drop the bomb that coaches were informed yesterday that Woody is being ret

First thing's first, congrats to the IU women on the 4-seed and hosting opportunity. Tough draw, but they call it madness for a reason. Secondly, love you guys and this community, but goodness you're

The “compromise” by Dolson to let this go down this way saved us some good cash on the buyout. Lot of litigation today. Make no mistake about it, this was not Woody’s decision to retire.

At the risk of being labeled a heretic and burned at the stake, I just don't buy into the love affair for Stevens.  Sorry boys and girls.

Same old song and dance. I would love it but not getting hopes up again for the what 3rd?? coaching search tied to him.

Just a reminder for those if you don’t get your guy A, B, C or even D there are plenty of good college basketball coaches coaching today that could take over and turn this around.  Doesn’t have to be the name brand coach to get this thing rolling.   Also if and that will be a big if Stevens becomes head coach and he doesn’t turn IU around then that’s all she wrote for IU basketball.   He is the White Whale for almost every IU fan.  If he can’t fix it then I would say most fans will check out

Agree.  I'm not buying it until I see him in a red sweater on the Assembly Hall floor

If Brad can't fix it then nobody can. That said, he would win at IU

If Brad fails here we need to shutdown the program, or basically run it on a shoestring budget and give up and focus on FB.

The first time it was never happening. That was actually Donovan that everyone thought IU was after him with. Last time it was close.

I really hope someone sticks a mic in Buckners face at some point. His legacy needs to take a hit for this too. 

He already has a mic in front of him for Pacers games. Don't subject the rest of the world to that.

Basically Dolson had IU in a good spot. Brad wanted to take the job. Buckner and company had a group of donors meeting with Brad too and it was too many cooks in the kitchen. One of that group it might’ve been Buckner or Ferguson pissed off Brad’s wife so she was then out. They had a family vote and it was 3-1 to stay in Boston so they stayed. Brad has had conversations off and on with people he knows both with the Celtics and in Indiana about how he has always wanted to coach at IU or that it’s always been his dream job. He still has family in Indiana and may want to be closer to them as they are getting older. He has talked openly many times about his love for IU and that type of admiration never changes even if you call yourself a masshole. Scott and Brad also have regular communication and have ever since he turned IU done the last time. Couple all of that with the random Seth Davis and Micah Shrewsberry comments and all of a sudden there seems to be a lot of things that start to add up. Especially when some of these people don’t have any connection to IU. There’s probably more stuff that I’ve shared but that’s the gist of it 

I can verify all of this and have heard none from AP2345. I will add that Brad's dad is an IU grad and I think he really wants Brad to coach IU while he is still able to enjoy it. Or so I've been told. There is more but that is the gist of it

Dude I've been saying stuff about Brad in different places for over a year. It's been backed up by the likes of Trilly, Rabby, and other notable names. I've always said he's the top choice and will have interest when the time comes. Does he accept idk but theres a better chance now than there's ever been. 

Dude, I would love it if it bears fruit but the guy left coaching altogether for the C's, hasn't coached in years, is getting up in years (not old but it's been a while since he was on the floor), and man we've been down this road twice already. If it starts to pick up steam I'll be very interested. But no way am I just going to buy in, and Rabby really doesn't know jack about him FWIW, no idea about Trilly but not a believer in him. Like  your posts here, but no, I'm not buying in on this.

There's an old saying in Boston—I know it's in Bloomington, probably in Boston—that says, 'Fool me once, shame on...shame on you.' Fool me—you can't get fooled again.
