Popular Post Billingsley99 Posted March 19, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 19, 2021 I will post what I did on Btown Banners and I might have here already but going back and forth I am not smart enough to remember. I am very very confident that Dolson has his man. The person that informed me that CAM would be fired late Sunday or Monday, also told me it had already happened but would not be announced until them but did not want that part out until after it happened, told me that SD has his man and its only a matter of time and soon we would all know. On Wednesday he sent me another message with all smiley emojis and I responded with does that mean BS and I got a smiley face back.Have not heard anything from him but what he and a couple others are saying line up with what @IUwins0708 and Chris007 are saying as well and its either all a load of crap coming from the same source or there is more to it. I believe there is more to it. Would I take it to the bank, no but I feel pretty good where we are. Initially when I received some info I was thinking Beilein or Matta just because the others are in the NCAA tourney but I was told directly by several they are not in consideration. 17 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Initially when I received some info I was thinking Beilein or Matta just because the others are in the NCAA tourney but I was told directly by several they are not in consideration. Usually I am a skeptic, but some of the things outside of the Indiana side are what have me thinking that this is all on the up and up. The biggest one being that the national guys have zip, zero, nada on any other candidates. They have, "Indiana should pick an Indiana guy" and there were several "It should be Beard or Drew" articles before things got started, but since then it has been a desert of info from them. To me that is far from the norm because the college guys who get contacted have a way of letting that leak. Even not getting picked, just having your name attached to a job like Indiana from an interest standpoint can help you with a raise...but there has been nothing. And on the NBA side, there were some questions, they got an answer they were predisposed to believe was true "No way an NBA guy is to a college, especially a has been like Indiana..." so they have lost interest. As someone pointed out last night, this has been like Harbaugh to Michigan. The only people taking that seriously were Michigan people listening to connected folks (like you, 0708, Chris007, etc.) who were saying, "He is the only target and we are getting him." With the local media starting to kind of say, "hey, this has legs" it just feels like so much more smoke than the Donovan thing. Stevens may end up not at Indiana, but I firmly believe that up to this point he has been candidate 1-100 for Dolson. There is no one else we are trying to get unless and until Brad says yes or no.

Just a matter of time. Over the years I have turned into a guy that expects the bad to happen for IU basketball so I have tried to temper my expectations but I just can't. I never bought into the BD to IU stuff but too much smoke on this one. Timing seems to be ideal for it to finally happen. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with all of that. Another point is that if there was nothing to it a very firm statement from Stevens or the Celtics would have happened. Brads people would slow this down unless there is a little more than just a passing interest. From all that I am hearing, not all are reliable , if it does not happen its because of the Celtics exit plan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoagieRoll Posted March 19, 2021 Report Share Posted March 19, 2021 I remember 0708s last post before signing out earlier this week was something to the effect of: ”No stevens, but most of you will be happy with the new coach” I trust him, have we changed from that view? Agree there’s a TON of smoke here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoosier8760 Posted March 19, 2021 Report Share Posted March 19, 2021 Count me in as one who believed the Donovan stuff hook, line, and sinker. I legitimately thought he was being named our next coach...so I was a bit underwhelmed by Archie. But I did think he would be light years better than he was...as did most folks. I hate getting my hopes up with this Stevens thing....but I can't help it! STEVENS OR BUST Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoadToZion Posted March 19, 2021 Report Share Posted March 19, 2021 Well, Like two weeks ago I thought Archie would have another year. Never thought we would have a chance at Stevens either. I don't know anything other than whats posted on the boards already. I usually just get information on recruits, but I really think this Stevens thing could happen. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am staying absolutely even keel on this one. So, I do not have enthusiasm for Brad, but for a new beginning. If that is with Brad, then all the better. If not, I do not want the feeling of wanting to jump off a bridge because I allowed myself to believe. All I know either way, it is a new day, a new coach, and my interest will be high again, because it was at an all time low this past season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
