The H🔥T Seat


Recommended Posts

I have not said much since the game yesterday. Very disappointed with the effort. But I still  think CAM needs another year (If what some people have said about the Admin). I still trust  CRK saying CAM can coach but IU fans have to be patience which  (we are and are not) we have not been relevant for so long and yet we still CARE about IU BB. I long for the days when teams didn't want to play at IU. I am starting to lean to the CAM is over his head group but I still think 1 full recruiting cycle and if after that that we need to move on. I also think he needs to play his players and pee on those that don't want to represent IUBB  Really thought we were turning the corner a couple of games ago but very disappointed in STAFF AND PLAYERS the last 2 weeks. IF YOU ARE NOT ALL IN FOR IUBB THEN LEAVE IU THIS INCLUDES THE ADMINISTRATION!!!

Why can't the fan base stop being one of the problems because like you said they eat them alive.  Why can't the fans actually let the coaches do their job without having to worry about the fan base at every turn.

Scott, this probably happens at most schools.  I live in Ames Iowa and the fans are livid with Steve Prohm the past two years.  There is a 164 page thread on why he must go.

If they want to make a change I will back it but you are naïve if you think we will bring in anyone who is a major upgrade.

Can you give me the lotto numbers for next week?  If not you, maybe BEKA can.

Seriously, you never know unless you throw the offer out there.  And those NBA guys may be willing to leave if the price is right...$7 million a year speaks volumes.  That is nearly double the current salary of Stevens and it is $3 million more than Donovan is making.  That would get their attention.

Nope, that's not it.  lol

Apparently it is if you think a coach who has shown little to no improvement in 3 years is going to finally figure it out. 
 

Hell Tom Crean missed the tourney year 3 but his team jumped over 100 spots in Kenpom in year 3. Archie is possibly going to finish worse in advanced analytics between years 2-3

You never know until you ask.  I think if we throw $8M a year out a big fish would bite.

Common sense.  IU would be able to offer him much more money and a higher profile, which would be huge for a spotlight hog like him.  What’s your source that he wouldn’t?

And if he could win in the Big Ten and the tournament, he would absolutely be the guy we want running the program.  I’m not 100% sure he’d be a home run hire, but at this point I would take him over Archie.

Dude can coach though!

Let’s say IU loses 2-3 guys to transfers or such. I wouldn’t mind if we find a grad transfer PG to push Phinisee. A grad transfer like Ziesloft. Then another grad transfer either another 3 point specialist or a big who could give IU 14-16 minutes a game of solid defense. (Just in case TJD and Brunk) get in foul trouble. I can’t trust Race to be the 3rd big yet with all his injuries.

I totally get what you are saying here but that sure is a lot of "if's"

1. IU is not going to pay a coach $7 million a year

2. IU tried to hire those NBA guys 2 years ago. They weren’t interested then and they aren’t interested now.

3. Stevens doesn’t like college basketball recruiting and prefers the NBA. He is considered one of the best young coaches in the NBA. He isn’t going anywhere 

If a change happens, it will be another mid major coach. Donovan, Stevens are not walking through that door.

Sorry, you missed my point awhile ago, and I don't see much of a reason to debate with someone who didn't follow the initial point I was trying to make.

You said something completely false and then insulted somebody for calling you out on lying. There’s nothing to debate. Just stop lying to try and make your point.

Source? Also, is that who we really want running the program. Honest question. 

Pearl is the only “big name” option out there that IU could realistically land.

Beard is a Texas guy and wants the Texas job according to Tech people. It would be an extreme long shot.

Mike White level of coach would even be a 50/50 proposition

FWIW , Some of the opinions here calling for Miller's job right now are from among the same crowd that jumped to conclusions post-2017 and hailed Holtmann as some form of basketball majesty  , and laughed at Underwood after year 1. 

My point is things can change rapidly.

.GO IU!!! I support Coach Miller!  

If anyone wants to take personal jabs at my post history LOL  bet your saucy little Pujols that I'll be WAITING :) 😘 Smooches ! .

Things can change rapidly but certainly not likely. Crean was only able to turn it around in year 4 because he had a stud coming in. We do not.
