His recruiting is the thing I'd be least worried about. I just think teams like UNC would shred the fuck out of that defensive scheme he runs.3/26/2011 6:23:03 PM |

If you are Stevens your stock is probably never going to be higher (of course I thought that last year too). If he was going to jump ship this would be the year to do it. That would indeed be an epic fucking hire. 3/26/2011 7:10:45 PM |

if he doesn't go to state, i'd bet stevens holds out for the IU job. crean probably gets 1-2 more seasons to do something significant, and then they'll throw the kitchen sink at stevens 3/26/2011 7:19:31 PM |

PP is convinced Smart is a good coach which keeps me skeptical.
Dude has finished 4th and 5th in the CAA and we're ready to crown him.

Smart might have finished 5th and 4th, but that's still finishing in the top of his league.
Plus he's been to his conference championship game two years in a row, won the CBI championship, and been to an NCAA elite 8. Sounds like a pretty good tournament coach to me. 3/26/2011 7:52:40 PM |

Unless Stevens really plans on staying at Butler for his career or has a specific job in mind he is waiting for and figures will come open in a year or two he would be stupid not to leave after this season 3/26/2011 8:18:52 PM |
