5fouls Posted October 14, 2018 Report Share Posted October 14, 2018 I originally posted this in the Around the B1G/NCAA thread, but thought it deserved it's own. https://watchstadium.com/news/big-ten-basketball-coaches-rank-the-best-jobs-in-the-conference-10-11-2018/ Interesting info, but have to question when our lowest rankings are ;facilities' and 'recruiting base'.

5fouls Posted October 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2018 And, I love this quote about Illinois. The knock: “The fan base has no clue – such unrealistic expectations. They are nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drroogh Posted October 14, 2018 Report Share Posted October 14, 2018 Obviously some of the people think Assembly Hall is lacking, but how many Hoosiers would want something else the BIG has to offer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milehiiu Posted October 14, 2018 Report Share Posted October 14, 2018 I found all the Knock comments hilarious. Even the one about IU's facilities. I guess that guy is partial to pink visitor locker rooms. And the guy talking about Maryland should not even be in the B1G ? Must have confused Maryland with Rutgers.

5fouls Posted October 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2018 I'll argue the Recruiting Base score as well. 4th is not bad, but being behind Northwestern and Rutgers isn't reality. And, if IU is 4th, how is Purdue all the way down to 10th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember, these are a composite ranking by coaches, so it's not like random bias has totally skewed the order. Sure, as IU fans, we may be offended by Assembly Hall's ranking, but it is older than most, if not all, of the 5 arenas ranked ahead of it.

Sorry, Rico...absolutely disagree. I found it fascinating even though there are bound to be obvious biases coloring the votes & comments. We as a fanbase are also biased. It's just a fun article to me even though I disagreed with several rankings. There's obviously a recognition that IU is pretty special...what's not to like about that?

Don't like the fact that we are only a half-point ahead of MSU. We need to do something to extend that to a more comfortable margin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
