This is fantastic news. With some player development, he will be completely dominant player in a couple of years.

This may speed some things up...

I think mentioning Brooks by name is more grey than off-white. Something generic like "Help me find some players..." should be sufficiently off-white

No - May completely transformed under Williams. He went from a really good player to a completely dominant player. If Davis was able to help players like that he would still be here.

Do you know the "order of offer"? I mean, is it we offer Turner & Fife and if one turns us down we move to Lewis or is it Lewis & Fife and turn to turner... we call simultaneously and the first 2 to accept...

I think this WAS this was the #1 or #2 choice. Given how complicated hiring both Matta AND Woodson and to keep it quiet and announce it simultaneously, this has been in the works for awhile... Personally, I find it really exciting - good coaches can coach. I don't care if he has not coached in college. Just imagine what he will do with TJD if he comes back one more year...

Someone nervous!?!

Because he knows how to coach. Recruiting stuff will come with winning.

I definitely had Woodson at the top my list - I really feel his coaching record was not remotely correctly interpreted...

probably the kids did not want to move.

Never trust a lawyer!

That was tough... way worse than 4 years ago.

Anyone who cites Monday's press conference as proof that Brad is not coming is not credible. My wife saw his pregame on Monday and said "Wow, he might actually go to IU." Up until then, my wife thought I was an idiot (still does... but not for hoping that CBS at IU becomes reality). Come Home BRAD!

Respectfully, I think CBS (the network) needs to change their name. Come home Brad!

We have a couple of years to prepare for the last two. Come home Brad!

Hopefully... Come home Brad!

D Devil's advocate: Bill might be trying to find out if there is legs or not. Come home Brad!

This hire would shift everything for us IU fans. We would go from "I can't believe the tournament is in Indiana and IU is not part of it." To "I can't believe the tournament in Indiana and IU hired Brad Stevens!" Come home Brad!

The only downside to BS coming back to Indiana at IU is that things will be very confusing in schools in 5-10 years... when the teacher says the name "Brad" every student will look up! I guarantee you it would be the most common name in the state of Indiana for the next few years... Come home Brad!

I think I mentioned it on the other board, but Brad better announce soon or the productivity lost in the state of Indiana due to people waiting will create a mini-regionalized recession...

Not sure how his LOI would work. Edit: He probably would be interested though. I do not buy the "I went to PU for physics" nonsense. IU has an excellent physics department. Come Home Brad.

If the reports from members of the board are true, he is a lot of coaches kind of player... Come Home Brad!

he said he had too many PMs insulting him from people on this board.

everything is sign!
