I would go on a week-long binge party if oscar took the Butler job.

oscar was trying to decide between the College of Charleston job, and ours, when he took the job. No one else is going to come after him.

That was before he did it the right way and won a major conf champy.

Yeah, we need to do something over the top to bring national attention to oscar's incredible accomplishment. We need to make him really look desirable.

Jeff Goodman was on SVP show today talking about Brad. He started listing coaches who have a good head on their shoulders (Brad Stevens, Tom Izzo, etc.) Then when he got to Bill Self he prefaced it with "to a lesser extent Bill Self"

Clearly Jeff sees that Bill looks good in front of cameras but is a monster behind the scenes.

And next you're probably going to tell me that Santa and the Easter bunny aren't real either. Why do you have to crap all over my dreams Pete?

oscar Weber is one of the top 10 coaches in college basketball. It would be damn shame if another university poached him away from K-State.

My Boston Celt sources say Bill was begging for the job, never considered

I'm a little surprised at the how butthurt Ku fans are Stevens got this job. They really can't stand it. So weird.

rollingplains · « **Reply #38 on:** July 06, 2013, 04:41:08 PM »

Im quite sure Mr Bill had no desire to coach the Celtics, not with the class he has coming in.

Can confirm. Was told that he was made to go through some pretty unsettling situationional hypotheticals too, even though they had zero intention of hiring him from the start.

Pretty revealing stuff, supposedly. Evidently, the Celts ppl started this to entertain himself(have never liked bill as a coach option and view him as small timey due to inability to work with actual NBA talent) and ended up somewhat sickened. Supposedly there were liability concerns as well.

What do you 'taters not understand? The celts job is not as high profile, high paying, or in anyway as good of a job as Lawrence.

I fell horrible for Butler. First year in the Big East is coming up, and they lose the winningest coach in America for the first 6 years on the job. Those people have to be sad.

Also, LOL at Danny Ainge basically saying Bill Self is a horrible adulterer. Read between these lines:

Higher self? GTFO. This is a basketball message board, not a place to spout your crazy psychobabble.

Bill Self and Ron Prince would have made a great womanizing duo. Would have loved to see those two out for a night on the town.
