IUFLA Posted August 10, 2020 Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 Reference the Archie/Bruiser dust up, I do know this for a fact... In today's climate especially, debate, sometimes heated, passionate debate, within a team is essential and can pay a lot of dividends... Just so long as the thin line of insubordination/abuse doesn't get crossed, it makes for a healthier and more engaged team... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It happens in the heat of the moment. Miller has played and coached most of his life, so he gets it. Bob Knight vs. Michael Lewis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since you guys piqued my interest with the "Grant" mini-series, I figured it wouldn't be "on demand" for Dish Network... And I was right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he just left Memphis to coach high school but he apparently has a good relationship with Ostrom, is a good recruiter/makes the NBA development pitch easier, and wouldn’t hurt to have a more offensive minded coach who can also help with shooting. Doesnt hurt that we are also recruiting his son. Id say AJ Guyton but idk what he’s like as a coach tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely. Bruiser will follow up with the prospects he developed relationships / contact with to the extent they fit what UK is looking to fill.

However, I never want IU to hire someone.... just in order to get their kid. Just does not sit right with me. Sorry. Ed Manning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that would be the case with Mike Miller. It may look that way and be bad optics and fodder for the Bovine crew in West Lafayette but Mike I feel is very capable of coaching at IU. Whether he wants to or is even on CAM's radar I have no idea. His son may or may not want to play for Dad. This would not be a situation to hire Dad to get son.

Indykev Posted August 11, 2020 Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 Bruiser said when he took the job that he didnt need to but did to help Archie. Thanks for your time here Bruiser.

I defer to your much more talented knowledge and opinion than me. Still don't like the optics. Too much Manning like for me. Here's my list , all of which are improbable : 1. Calbert Cheany 2. Dane Fife 3. Michael Lewis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
