Didn’t read the last 15 pages, but I’m wondering if we’d rather Miami win than Drake. 

How about we win tonight first?  Prefer not to look ahead and will take a chance against either in Rd 2 😀

XJ in dog house…better play smart because this team is deep and you might not get back in.

Glad we have the depth to allow when there is poor effort and/or decision making 

Can’t mess up the switch

Xavier Johnson lost us this game. Once again, Rob comes in and can't do anything offensively. Trayce didn't really get the ball or do much either.

 

This was an inexcusable loss given the first half.

No.  Woody lost is the game.  You can’t keep playing him the way he was playing.  Also, didn’t like the stretches with both Race and TJD off the court and the back ups.  There was no offense with Rob, Durr, Geronimo, bates on the court.

Unfortunately I think this is right. Dolson was probably told by the donors its either Stevens or an IU guy, which is pretty short sighted in my opinion.

Woodson is our coach now though, so hopefully he hits it out of the park and that we are not in this same situation in 4 or 5 years.

 

 

Anyone know the actual terms of the contract? I just saw reported as a 6yr deal.  I will live and accept the Woodson hire as long as we 1) didn't overpay and 2) didn't leave ourselves with an easy out.  For someone who has been begging for this job for years we shouldn't be paying a modest annual salary and have a cheap/no buyout in case this turns into a mistake in 4yrs.

Everyone keeps forgetting the two big donors.  One to buyout, one to pay the new coach. I would bet my house, the only options were Stevens or an IU guy. I think they got the coach who fell into their requirements 

Agree..don't forget I believe Woodson is a co-investor with  Steve Ferguson at Cook Group and Scott May in IU housing.  Woodie has pushed for the job before.  I am sure that influence was "part" of this deal getting done.  If NOT Stevens, then going to be "my" IU guy.

Lol Celtics down 10 at half

Maybe his strategy is to get fired not get a raise?? 😬

His wife is his agent so every cent is coming home.

After taxes and cost of living, even a rumored raise doesn’t equal the rumored IU offer. This was t about $$

Beilien is 68. Pass. 

Matta.. no. 

Beard and Drew I'd take for sure. But I think Mack is the best coach of the group. 

Mack is not leaving Louisville.  His wife’s hometown, his dream job and his contract extends and rises if sanctions.  Move on

r 2%. 

In summary, the IU people close to the situation saw no way he would turn us down, and that's how the 'done deal' stuff gout out.  At least it appears a legit effort was made.

I think the done deal stuff came from the “belief” Mrs Stevens wanted to be back in Indiana.  That doesn’t appear to be the case.  The money rumored to be offered is similar to his new rumored raise.

How do you know Dolson gave him assurance that we would get Stevens

I don’t.  The reason I used the word IF.  I know IF it was mean ponying up 10mm I would want an assurance.   Not writing that type of check for a 1st time AD to go “try”.  But hey maybe they did.  To each their own. 

Just now, IU Scott said:

If everything we heard is true how is this on Dolson for Stevens turning us down.

My "only" complaint on Dolson is IF I was the booster ponying up 10mm for the buyout on the assurance we were getting Stevens.   Now IF that isn't the case, then no one can be upset for taking a shot and getting rejected.  IF I was that booster, I would have wanted a signed contract prior to cutting that 10mm check.

Holding hope for Stevens until Dolson comes out and annouces the hiring of someone else.

Dont do it to yourself...its over

Is it possible the Celtics fully believe he is staying and IU fully believes he is coming? 

Does anyone actually know the logistics of getting out of an NBA contract? 

Yeah Brads Wife/Lawyer/Agent...IF this was an issue, they wouldn't have allowed talks to progress this far.  I don't believe there is any issue with Brad leaving the Celtics EXCEPT does he WANT to leave.
