Few has never taken Gonzaga as far as Stevens has taken Butler the past couple seasons. Plus for every Mark Few there are 10 other guys who went on to bigger and better programs (in theory). Few's done it for 12 seasons, Stevens for 4. The point is, not every guy is looking to jump to the next spot. You honestly think teams with openings last year didn't inquire about Stevens? 99% of guys that aren't looking to jump to a bigger spot are already in one of the biggest spots--they're not in Butler. Hell, even K is linked to the Lakers every time that job opens up. Sure there are guys like Mark Few but that's the exception that proves the rule. I believe that Stevens is the exception to the rule too. If one of the high profile jobs becomes available, then sure I could see him leaving. If Painter were to actually leave Purdue, I can't see Stevens going to Purdue either. Illinois becomes a high profile job as soon as Stevens steps on campus. Back up the dump truck full of cash and he'll consider it.

I don't think Stevens is a realistic option for Illinois. He's going to stay at Butler for at least another year and then we'll see what happens with Crean at IU. So he's not a realistic option because Illinois can't make a case for being a better job than a terrible Indiana team? That's pretty sad. I don't think Stevens is a realistic option for anyone right now. Loser talk. It's [expletive] Butler.

Is it just me or is VCU not nearly the story that George Mason was?
-
I really wish Bill Walton could call a playoff game the Bulls and Rose played in. "He isn't just a basketball player. He's the ultimate point guard. Derrick Rose is an intergalactic treasure!"

Picked a bad day to work on Saturday. Sounded epic :[
-
Just unbelievable decision making by Kitchen at the end of the 4th and OT.
-
Good going Kitchen. Wait until 3 seconds are left when you're 30 feet away from the basket to make your move.
-
Well Big 10 players sure as hell aren't being paid in the NBA.
-
Taylor is [expletive] terrible
-
HUGE TAKE
-
That sentiment was completely hilarious then and has only gotten funnier since.
-
46.5 u/o on bulls wins is right on the nose, Rondo > Rose, etc.
-
VDN is actually Ron Donald from Party Down.
-
horey [expletive] we are [expletive] atl up
-
A young Horace Grant was one of the elite offensive rebounders in league history. Seriously, he was really [expletive] good.
-
Wait, what? Your checkmate is to say that a coach would pick the player he coached over the player he didn't coach? I think Phil would've taken Rose over Bobby Hansen. My point is is that Grant/Boozer in a vacuum is close. I'd rather have Grant...he even rates out highly in all the new metrics, spectacularly so in the 91-92 season.
-
In a vacuum its close. If you asked Phil who he wouldve rather had on that team, he'd laugh at you for asking a stupid question.
-
Grants way better. He was never more than a third option on a team playing with a prime Jordan and young Shaq and Penny.
-
I could honestly see Larry Brown half assing it at some college job for a few years.
-
The Knicks are so [expletive] worthless.
-
The starters should not play another second. I'm assuming Deng will play most of the 4th quarter.
-
Replay shows that UW should've had about 1.1 left on the clock after the half court shot went out of bounds.
