He clearly is a high major D1 coach.   Are you saying that any other high major D1 coach couldn’t get the same results bringing high D1 talent to the Southland conference?  I’m one of the few that actually watches the Southland outside of 1 game in March.   Of course he was always going to get those results.  And of course he will be back in a high major setting.  Him coaching in a league in the Southland is like taking a gun to a knife fight.   

No I don’t think any high major D1 coach could just stroll into McNeese St and go 28-2.

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.

I can't imagine why Stevens would ever consider coaching at IU. He is in the best of all possible basketball worlds right now. IU would be a huge step down in my opinion.

  1. Stevens has a good relationship with the current Celtics owner.  The Celtics will be sold very soon.  Who knows how he'll get along with the new owner and the new owner may want to bring in their own President of Basketball Operations.  
  2. Since IU last approached him, the Celtics won an NBA Championship.  Stevens may now feel like mission accomplished with the Celtics.
  3. Stevens is 48.  There's speculation that he has the hunger to coach again.  Revitalizing his favorite childhood team may be the challenge that he's looking for.

Yikes. Have you ever lived in Boston or even been there?

It’s only a good place to live if you like incredible history, a clean, safe city, excellent public transportation, world class medical care, world class universities, world class arts, and world class food. It’s expensive, but if you make good money you’re gonna have to be against those other things to downvote Boston.

PSA: I have never traveled outside the state of Indiana or used sarcasm to describe anything or any place on the internet.

Steve Lutz recently coached in the Southland and was 21-11. Now at OK State and probably on the hot seat.

Thank goodness nobody on this board will lead the hiring process for the next coach! Whew! 

I vote for Dolson to lead it, but I’d be cool with you getting on the committee. As the Joisey muscle.

You also thought Mike Woodson had the ability to coach this year's team to a S16/E8/F4, didn't you?

Boom drop the mic. You can’t pay attention to anything he says because his basketball knowledge is just not very good.

Visited a few years back and everything you say is true. Had a really cool little Italy which reminded me of Rome a bit.

Yeah but you have to hear that accent all day. Lol 

:farting_smiley:

Actually was shocked that we heard not a single "Boston" accent while there, but we didn't make it to south Boston, so maybe that's why.

I think ant wright sure did as well as many on twitter. They went from final four to saying what a great effort vs purdue. We almost had it. The goalpost always move with Kool aid drinkers.

My expectation was a second weekend appearance with a $6mil roster. WTF does that have to do with the Southland? You think Mike Woodson is going 28-2 in the Southland?

Brad coaching at IU isn't any stranger than Belicheck coaching football at NC.  Actually I think Brad's deal makes more sense.  What's the big pull for Bill at NC besides the money?  

 

He was out of job and no NFL team was willing to give him head coaching/GM double duties which is something he absolutely wanted.

Won’t hear many in the tourist areas. Gotta get to Eastie, Revere, West Roxbury, or Hyde Park these days. Even Southie has been overrun by yuppies.

Heck of a former Purdue assistant that went to W Kentucky after A &M -CC before Oklahoma St.   watched him live in the First 4 a couple years ago.   I personally wouldn’t call him a high level D1 coach yet but I’m guessing you are reaching since I said high major coach even though this is his first year as a high major coach.  Wade coaching in the Southland is just a little bit different than his case.  One used the Southland as a stepping stone while the other was a high major coach but had to use the Southland just to get his foot back in the door

Lol, you talk about other people's reading comprehension? The only way you get MW going 28-2 in Southland from what I said is by being disingenuous or not at all understanding the point being made... I'm saying your credibility evaluating coaches seems to not be what you think it is... Maybe the conversation would be more pleasant if you stated your opinions with some modesty... Certainty can be a deadly sin
