Honest take on Bball Program?

Some freezing cold TJD takes in here. -

….so about that meet-up at the Peegs golf tournament -

What positive aspect of the program did Fife contribute to or was responsible for? We never heard of games where he had the “scout” and did a great job. No recruiting wins and even worse, no momentum on the recruiting trail. Did he work directly with 1-2 players like a JG and focus on player development? What exactly are we losing besides a nostalgic tie to better days? -

Yeah but this is the problem with assuming anything Dakich said is the full truth. He earns a living by starting shit about IU all the time. So the same skepticism you have re: Peegs applies to DD. -

Rabby is an easy target and I think that makes it easier to dismiss what he said outright. What I don’t see is folks trying to explain away all the other IU insiders like ITH, AC, that film guy, etc. saying almost the exact same thing as Rabby. The funniest part about all of this is that I’m not sure we would’ve parted ways if Fife was tied to any commits or critical recruiting processes -

There’s a PEEGs golf outing coming up where we can meet up! -

Just remember - there’s an assistant coach thread from a year ago where some of the same folks were wringing their hands about Coach Ya and his “character”. A year and some big recruiting successes later? He’s indispensable. The lesson? Results matter. -

Seriously? Well I’m old enough to remember that Fife was closer to a glorified Aaron Craft than to an all-time program legend. -

Have you seen him walk lately? It might take him a year to walk out the door -

…so I guess I shouldn’t have posted that Rabby screenshot -

The only blowback has been on niche online forums and on a radio show hosted by an also fired former IU coach. If Fife is as big of a loss as many claim he is and/or if the stuff Rabby said was bogus, I would expect to see Fife on the bench of an upper echelon Power 5 team in no time. -

I don’t think IU really cares to validate it. It’s Dane Fife. Outside of a small group of crazies like us, it doesn’t resonate. I still think that most people probably don’t want to believe what has been posted and confirmed by numerous insiders because frankly, it sucks. That doesn’t mean it isn’t true. -

Every 3rd party IU media outlet (ITH, R&R, etc.) has all either confirmed or strongly hinted at the accuracy of what was posted by Rabjohns. Is it really a “hatchet job” if it’s the truth? Just a thought..what if what Rabjohns posted was a sanitized version of events? -

I think this just shows that (1) He seems to disregard or ignore any external guidance or advice and (2) he consistently acted in a way that was very disconnected from the realities of the CBB landscape in 2022…and either he fundamentally couldn’t grasp this or he had a blatant disregard for it. He knew that NIL is an advantaged recruiting area for IU and he still chose to undermine it. Whose interests was he serving in doing so? Because it wasn’t IUBB. Either way, he doesn’t come across as having a ton of self-awareness or even discipline for that matter. I love Fife and I’m forever appreciative of his time as a player. But I think folks are treating him with kid gloves right now. We’ve seen what happens when our assistants don’t recruit and perform. We should be ecstatic that we’re proactively addressing this for once. -

Yeah he rarely is this direct. Which leads me to believe it’s mostly true -

They always have been and always will. Not sure if you’re suggesting that these events will make that worse. -

He “only gets a pass” for this if he goes 26-8 and makes the Elite 8? It’s Dane Fife, not John Wooden. He was reprimanded by the AD for public comments he made and undermined CMW on several occasions. This thread reiterates all these instances. -
What a game. So happy for Phin…and I hope those negative IU fans recognize how huge X was Maaaan…We’ve come so far from this

My biggest takeaway: MIN started the 2nd half on a 18-7 run and took the lead…and we responded with a 27-13 run of our own. I think it shows that our team is maturing & learning how to handle adversity

You good?

Million dollar move, 10 cent finish

That And-1 sequence was great. KL directing off-ball traffic, Durr’s pass, JG’s finish..
