    Here’s the real question though: is that bar attainable this day and age? I don’t mean that as a knock I just don’t know how realistic it is. I don’t know if I see that type of run for any college coach moving forward tbh. Not with how often coaches can and do move jobs. 

    If by the bar you mean being in the top 5 year in and out in the conference, being a team that can make a deep run in the tournament every 4 years and getting a title  every 10 years or so then I think that’s absolutely attainable. Look at UConn. 3 titles with Calhoun and 5 in the last 20ish years.

    Why? Because Purdue is a program that is about to have the second NPOY in a row. Or they run a program like Knight did back in the day that you all fell in love with. How about Purdue is becoming the premier program in the state and places where you never would’ve guessed you’d see Purdue fandom continue to pop up all over the state. No one is taking anything away from all of the success IU has had historically but I’d guess 90+% of IU fans would gladly trade places with Purdue. And I’m guessing that stings a bit. 
     

    Sisley is a great example. 10 years ago, we wouldn’t have had a chance in hell with him. But with how consistent Painter/Purdue has been plus seeing a guy like TKR pick Purdue has shown that we can land guys from anywhere in the state. 

    No one is jealous. We can want the success of our program without envying Purdue it’s not mutually exclusive. What IU fans want is the bar that was set by Knight and McCracken. Good for Purdue for their success the past couple seasons. It’ll make the rivalry better when IU gets back to where it should be with the right coach

    What would we want to trade on a macro level with Purdue (titles, massive fan base, history, being one of the most valuable basketball programs)? Or did you mean on a micro level (recent success)?

    In my 50 years of watching basketball…I’ve never seen a player grab or touch the ball after every freaking layup he makes 

    The refs never give a delay of game warning ⚠️ 

    You must’ve missed the IU @ Iowa game last year when they gave us 2 then a tech

    We about to go a 2nd this season with 0 threes made? Lol we did it for the first time in 10 years earlier this year. 2x’s in one season is incredible. Should probably play the lotto

    Only team in the B1G to do it once let alone twice
