It's all about making Stevens and his family happy and comfortable! If Boston goes out in round 1 or 2, Celtics may be looking for a new voice after 8 years.

The age scares me a little at age 61, and when you think about San Diego State you think defense and rebounding........offense and shooting not so much.

Personal position is IU can go a different route and still succeed. As such, it would be easy to pass on him. BUT, the points made here are sound: 1) He’d accept today 2) He’d win instantly 3) He gets the max from his players 4) He has the charisma to come in and get A LOT of talent from the transfer portal on this one-time candy store token via the NCAA But... There are two sure thing hires. Brad Stevens and Rick Pitino... first one is has nothing to prove and is a fantasy. The second would sell his soul (what's left of it) to get here. Someone will hire RP very soon, and become a National contender Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However you are right, Pitino would bring back a lot of hysteria to the Hoosier brand, both good and bad. But there would be a lot of excitement either way.

5fouls Posted March 14, 2021 Report Share Posted March 14, 2021 For those if you that are, inexplicitly, interested in Pitino, you had better not be the same crowd complaining about Belien's age. Yes, John is 68. But, guess what, so is Rick. In fact, Rick is 5 months older. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Belien a lot, but would take RP over everyone but Brad Stevens . And even there, I would give college coaching/recruiting advantage to RP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
