I think adding someone to the staff that can really coach shooting form would be a big bonus. I think this could really help our team - one example I can give you is Collin Hartman's senior year. He was leaning and falling back on his jump shot throughout the year - it never got fixed and it was blatantly obvious. This resulted in a huge decrease in his 3 point shooting accuracy. This would never have happened when we had the Shot Doctor - he was always there to help people who were struggling. What about that guy with the pole barn (north of Indy area maybe?) that a bunch of guys went to to get ready for the draft??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thirdgenhoosier Posted June 27, 2019 Report Share Posted June 27, 2019 I have zero idea what kind of coach he would make so I’m just throwing this out for discussion purposes. Could we see Derek Elston get a promotion? Heck, I don’t even know if he wants that and he is happy in his current role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milehiiu Posted June 27, 2019 Report Share Posted June 27, 2019 As much as I have stated how much I like/liked Ed. And IF Archie was instrumental in what has gone on with Ed. I have got to say... "Well done, ArchIe". "You promised to lock up the state of Indiana for us". And ... " I would hope that this is your way of living up to that promise.

Heck it could even be an ex-Pacer or someone with ties to the state...not necessarily IU. Any thoughts? What is Randy Wittman doing these days?

Problem with ex-NBA is they have so much money it's hard to find one willing to do this much work unless they are trying to get into the coaching profession. That said it could be anyone we felt comfortable with not just an ex-Pacer but perhaps even an ex-Indiana native nba player...Bonzi Wells, Josh McRoberts, a Greg Graham...would Jared Jefferies like to come back or is his E-gaming doing too good....anyways...would love to get some NBA representative on the program for those kids that have the dream to go that route.

I doubt a lot of the former NBA coaches would want to move to college to ben assistant coach especially if they have no college experience at all.

DC2345 Posted June 27, 2019 Report Share Posted June 27, 2019 I saw on another site that Elston, Chaney, Moye, and a high school coach have all been discussed. No clue on the high school coach as to who or why that one is in the mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm all for having an "IU guy" on the bench, but I want Archie to hire the best fit for 'his' program. If it's a former IU player then that is bonus. All that really matters at the end of the day is winning. If you win, fans and recruits, etc. won't care if there's an IU guy on the bench. Agreed. Winning, period. Do that and the non IU guy suddenly becomes an IU guy. I mean, no IU guy was an IU guy until they were Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At first glance. That was a very fair assessment. Archie is looking for results. Right now seems like others are delivering. Mutual breakup is best I can see so far. Others mentioned earlier....I like the fact that Archie is in charge enough to make a change with a guy who is obviously so well known in Indiana.

Back to John Decker's Hoosier Nation on the Scout network. And when Alex was just starting to get his site off the ground. We all supported his effort on Hoosier Nation back then. Being an IU grad and all. Would promote and link his work as much as we could. Much the way we do today on HSN 3.0 for The Daily Hoosier. It's great. To have so many IU sites available to us. And to think that we have been a part of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The “challenge” to me in regards to Smart, Wittman and Calbert is.....are guys in the 50+ year old range, that have already made multi-millions of dollars, really willing to be effective recruiters running around begging 17 year olds to go to IU? I’m not sure that is the case. The ideal scenario is a motivated young guy with some offensive coaching skills. Not sure that person is available but based on the past two years I think it is clear we need an offensive minded assistant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spearheaded by his time at IU. And is not in it for the money. But rather, his love of the game. And his love of IU for what IU has done for him. Might just want to repay IU. Not only for what IU did for him. But for the simple pleasure of loving the game. No strings attached. Just a love of the game. And IU. And who does not love the great city of B-town ? IUBB and B-town. A match made in heaven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
