FKIM01 Posted February 20, 2020 Report Share Posted February 20, 2020 I think little ricky is gone and as bad as he is, I still feel sorry for him. I was shocked when he chose not to foul down ten points with a minute-thirty-something to go at home. Sure, it's a tall order, but as shaky as IU's free throws have been and with the 3-point line, anything is possible. He literally conceded that game with enough time on the clock to make a final run. Can't coach and can't recruit. Worst coach in the B1G. By now Minnesota knows they could do better and I know IU fans would not tolerate that kind of mediocrity for seven years...a lot of fans don't even want to give Archie three.

cybergates Posted February 20, 2020 Report Share Posted February 20, 2020 Don't hear much about Chris Jans as a potential hire despite his solid albeit short run at NMSU. Maybe his BGSU incident scares people away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he fails with this team? The fans were ready to move on from him last year. It'll be a situation very similar to FCTC's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milehiiu Posted February 20, 2020 Report Share Posted February 20, 2020 Question. And I know he is not on the hot seat. But don't want to start a new thread for this question. And it is.... what would Illinois have become had Bill Self stayed, rather than moving on to Kansas ? Would they have been the next IU, like under Knight ?

Well in Brannen's case UC is in the AAC. The ACC or Big 12 is a step up from that. IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO Again true, but the Big 12 team you cite probably wants a home run hire and has plenty of dough to throw at one... As tough as the ACC is year in and year out, taking one of those jobs might be a resume tarnisher too...ask Pastner... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should be fine if he can at minimum get to the S16, but if they end up as a 2 and they get upset before then? That could get ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roy's just having a bad year, after several pretty good years. I wonder if Roy got caught up in trying to go for "elite" talent rather than "his kind" of player. Not saying he succeeded in getting them, but perhaps he deviated from his normal specs for a recruit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been rumors back channel talks have already gone on and Texas is going to pay to get him. I've heard on local radio Beard and Donovan to be top 2 targets. Could just be radio talk and not rumors of any sort. Shaka will be leaving behind a nice group of players assuming they don't have a lot of defections.

He's a college guy in a pro town. I think Rick would thrive (for him) at a place like Clemson or some other true college town where hoops isn't the deal and rules can be bent a tad. Kind of what Travis Ford has done at St. Louis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
