Was it bad? Any rumors about coaches or Archie? Someone give me the bullet point update please. Brad Stevens will be the next coach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5fouls Posted March 12, 2021 Report Share Posted March 12, 2021 Thread grew 3 pages since I last checked it about 4 hours ago. Let's see, that would be about 18 pages per day. Let's say the Celtics are eliminated from the NBA playoffs around May 20th. I'm going to need a calculator to cipher that amount of growth.

But there’s got to be other coaches out there capable of elevating the mess at IU within two years. I think concentrating only on BS would be a mistake. IMO the admin doesnt need to offer huge $$$ or terms. There are a limited number of schools with the legacy as IU. And, attracting a proven good coach isnt impossible at a reasonable price. Because his time working with Boston and NBA talent gives him instant credibility with recruits. He has always been a class A tactician and think his time in the nba having to game plan and adjust only helps that. The main thing is he has always been able to bring kids together and get them to buy in and coach them up...now he will be able to be like Mark Few and will be able to recruit top talent because of his nba pedigree. Combine that with Indiana roots he just fits. That said I wouldn’t be sad at all if we hire Scott Drew...be a nice fall back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Threedom Posted March 13, 2021 Report Share Posted March 13, 2021 I have probably been thinking more than a healthy amount about Stevens lately. It seems any chance of him coaching here has nothing to do with any firing by the Celtics. Other NBA teams would be all over him. It’s only if he WANTS to coach IU. Maybe he does...if I was worth a dam it would be my dream job. If he wants to coach IU he wouldn’t wait to be fired. Make it happen Dolsen. Brad Stevens will be the IU hoops coach!

He is the winningest coach in Ohio State history.[1] 3x Big Ten Coach of the year 439-154 (.740 winning percentage) And is out of coaching because of health conditions and not been linked to a single D1 coaching position since he left. That means he ain’t interested in coaching right now. Probably doesn’t even still have an agent. If his name doesn’t come up in other coaching searches past few years means it won’t now.

Funny, was just reading an article that stated he was in the running for the Alabama job, and then an article by Seth Davis in Nov 2020 that also said Wichita State was considering him. Also, read his last back surgery (his 4th before the age of 50) was a success. He is only 53 years old and has been out 3 years getting healthy and following his girls at Butler. Hard to beat a .740 winning percentage, 5 Big Ten Regular Season Titles, 4 Big Ten Tourney Championships, 2 Final Fours and multiple Elite 8's and sweet 16 appearances.
