I've got to get back to studying for my lab practicals and pharmacology exams but if you think the problem is the players I would disagree. Archie has managed to make one of the most prolific scorers in high school basketball history look underwhelming. Archie has an all big ten stretch 5 in Morgan, an athletic 4, a pass first point guard, a 40% 3 point shooter at the 2 guard, a 40% plus stretch 5 grad transfer off the bench, and a dynamic combo guard as a back up guard and we can't score 50 a game....let that sink in. To be honest, I think Romeo is doing that himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying it's wrong but this is horrible thinking. No, Duke shouldn't have fired Coach K after year 3, but you are making the assumption that CAM is in fact Mike Krzyzewski therefore it would be a mistake to fire Archie Miller because of what K did at Duke. It doesn't work that way. The correct way to look at this is how many coaches in D1 basketball didn't workout after the first 2-3 years. Archie isn't getting fired. We all know that, but the constant comparisons to what Duke did early with Krzyzewski or what Villanova did early with Wright is dishonest. None of these decisions are being made in a vacuum.

I see players who maybe athletic gifted but not having quality basketball talent I don’t think we have a ton of talent either. I do however think we have more than Northwestern, Rutgers, Nebraska, and Ohio State whom we all lost to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is talent on this team but no basketball IQ. They are not good shooters, not physical, not mentally tough and not fundamentally sound. In many ways we are trying to mix oil and water to form a team and it just isn't working. Both the coaching staff and the players share the responsibility.

IUDan93 Posted February 10, 2019 Report Share Posted February 10, 2019 We just aren't a fan base that deals with losing well. Over the past 25 years, we probably are not a top 25 program. How does a program keep their membership card to the "blue blood" club if there are 25 programs that have a better run over the past quarter century? None of us like what we see, or have seen for years. I think we all agree that CAM is expected to coach a team that produces quality outcomes, and he has not. The split in the fan base is not based on results, but whether Archie can achieve the expected results. None of us know, we just don't. Just like I can't say definitively that CAM will fix things, no one can definitively say he won't. It is painful to stick with a coach if you don't believe he can fix it, and it is also painful to think about dumping someone who may be the savior just to start over and find ourselves in the same sad position with a new guy. Those who want CAM gone may be right. Those who want to give him time to build his team may be right. At some point, part of the fan base will be able to puff out their chest and say "I knew it, and I was right." Which group of fans will it be? Nobody knows, so let's just all agree that this sucks right now. Of course, debating is the point of these forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IUwins0708 Posted February 10, 2019 Report Share Posted February 10, 2019 @IU Scott it’s been a good debate but I don’t think either of us are going to change either one of our minds. We can just agree to disagree. Thanks for a good debate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait and pray that our eyes are lying to us or that it is really just a player personality/coaching conflict that can start to be resolved with an amicable parting of ways at seasons end. I really do not want to be doing a coaching search again, so I am hoping for the best. If we get more of the same next year though, we really need to question whether we should cut bait...and if we have to cut bait, I think we end up with a name that most of us have not super familiar with.

BobSaccamanno Posted February 10, 2019 Report Share Posted February 10, 2019 This board is in melt down mode, and rightfully so. Its not the loss. I’m over it and most here are I’m sure. It wasn’t meaningful like the Syracuse loss It would be sad if the fan base didn’t have injured pride about the state of the program. It would certainly be worse if people weren’t concerned after the debacle we’ve seen for 5-6 weeks. I’m afraid the next step is apathy, though.

BEKA Posted February 10, 2019 Report Share Posted February 10, 2019 I haven't given up on the program, but I could care less if this team wins a single game from here on out. They're terrible and the coaching staff is obviously not doing anything to correct whatever is going on. That said, I still will watch every game because as a fan of watching train wrecks come to their logical conclusion, I have a vested interest.

Yes, "Crean's" kids have been with Archie for 2 years now, but it does not mean that those kids are going to be the right fit for offense and defense. That also doesn't mean they are all going to automatically buy in either. Yes, this team is a dumpster fire right now and probably done for the year. It really pains me, but sometimes things get worse before they get better. Thanks for the perspective and I hope you’re right on this one....

Cutter Posted February 10, 2019 Report Share Posted February 10, 2019 1 hour ago, IU Scott said: It is time to go ahead and offer Leal and get players like Morton and brown who know how to play the game instead of players who try to get by on their athletic ability. I agree on Leal and hopefully Galloway if they can stomach the dumpster fire train wreck that we call an offense!!! No way morton comes here over Michigan unless he is blind or believes the stuff that is being peddled. Why would Brooks come here because he is a hoosier fan to funny he wants to make it in the NBA. Not much player development going on here. Just my honest opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both the coaching staff and the players share the responsibility. This is a fair take. The players definitely bear a large portion of the blame as well. But there is more than enough talent on this team for an elite coach to win with. Archie obviously isn’t there yet, hopefully he can get there before it’s too late.
