As a matter of fact, the vast majority of bracket experts had us in. But, they didn't have a tournament, so how could we "miss" making it? And as I said, this year isn't over. That is fact.

WanamakerIUFan Posted February 23, 2021 Report Share Posted February 23, 2021 I have a pretty good feel for the Boston Celtics situation, but I'll say I'm 100% confident that the odds of Stevens coming to Indiana isn't zero. That's not saying "anything can happen". It's saying I think it's on the table more than some give it credit for. That said, I think the IU administration would have to want it, but more importantly, I think they'd have to sell Stevens on the idea. How much confidence do you all have that Indiana could pull off the sell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JugRox Posted February 23, 2021 Report Share Posted February 23, 2021 First, I don't think Miller is let go at the end of this year because of the 10 million dollar buyout. This IU administration doesn't spend money like that. I know there are some "insiders" that say some booster(s) will come save the day. That has been said every time we hire a new coach going all the way back to Davis and its never happened. But... If there is a new coach, you have 2 paths to take. Do you hire a young coach and have the risk of failure or do you hire a proven coach that might have other risks? If we go young, I like... Craig Smith, Utah State 213-102 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craig_Smith_(basketball,_born_1972) If we go proven, but risky.... Scott Drew, Baylor 381–224 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Drew 234-97 (70% winning) the last 10 years. He can recruit and he can win at IU. Fastest path bath with some risk. And there is... The "There is no chance in hell" list Stevens, Donovan, Beard, Few, Bennet, Oats (Buyout) The "Please god shoot me" list Alford, Fife, and any other random former player that someone digs up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it would just be about money when it comes to Stevens. It would be to sell to get Stevens and his wife to want to get back into what is college basketball life style Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it takes a year to get everything in place before the Celtics move on Ainge and his holiness, keep CAM for a year and then move heaven and earth to make it happen. Build the man a private school for his kids. Build him a mansion. Hire him a chef. If he wants to live in a hidden compound in Brown County and take a helicopter to work each day, somebody start drawing a big Arse H in the Assembly Hall parking lot.

I've been in the room with Stevens a few times and there are a couple of other aspects IU could sell him on. I'm just not sure IU can pull it off.

Stevens is never coaching another NCAA game. Ever. He doesn't like to recruit and he likes his summers off. If the Celtics fired him tomorrow, he would have another NBA job by the end of the week.

That is not true because every player still will want to see the HC at his games and for in home visits. Earlier Archie was getting ripped when it was suggested that his assistants were doing a lot of the early recruiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
