IU Scott Posted May 24, 2019 Report Share Posted May 24, 2019 12 minutes ago, Zlinedavid said: They "made" 2 Final Fours and an Elite 8 in 3 years. It's fine if you don't like their style, but calling them "..a bunch of losers" is stretching it. I agree but all the hype they received while not winning any kind of championship is kind of off putting. When all of the Fab 5 were together the first two years IU were 3-1 against them and we won one big ten championship but UM still got all the pub.

They were a cultural phenomenon...good, undisciplined players who could talent themselves past quite a bit of teams but had trouble whenever they ran up against talented and disciplined teams. Even now they are known more for braggadocio and fashion choices then they are for what they actually did on the court. Maybe it is the IU fan in me, but I feel like they are oversold in relation to their actual impact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But a starting 5 of freshman going to champs and repeating the next year is the stuff of marketing dreams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rico Posted June 4, 2019 Report Share Posted June 4, 2019 Howard has named former St. Joe's HC Phil Martelli has an assistant. Being reported that Howard Eisley will be joining the staff as well.

One off of the current staff for continuity/familiarity, a former NBA player and (especially important for a first time head coach) a coach with 30+ years of D1 head coaching experience.

Interesting about Eisley that I found out today. He is from Detroit and was HS teammates with Jalen Rose. But absolutely, looks like Howard has hit the ground running.

I just remember the shot of his that was in the '98 (I think...) NBA Finals that got called off, when the replay showed it was out of his hands when the buzzer went off. Jazz ended up losing the game by 1 point, which wound up being the clincher for the Bulls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy how the college landscape can change. 30ish years ago MSU doesn't get any of those three guys from in-state, in 2019 they probably get 2-3.
