He does not have to give to basketball program. He can give it to the University to help fund, oh I don't know, let's say lawncare, and so the money originally devoted to lawncare could then be diverted.

IU Scott Posted January 15, 2021 Report Share Posted January 15, 2021 I am watching the post game with Todd Leary and he really is ripping everyone. He called the freshman class as horrible and talked about how all of the players suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you offered me $100MM over 10 years, to coach IU, I'm coming. And, guess what, for all you know, I am Brad Stevens. Be truthful, have you aver seen me post during a Celtics game? You can't be sure. And, even if I did, it may have been halftime. Or, when Kyrie was on the team, I could have done it while he dribbled out the shot clock. You can speculate, but you don't KNOW unless you ask. 6 minutes ago, IU Scott said: Why would a Wight or a Bennett leave a place where they won a championship. They make a lot of money and are pretty well have a job for life where they are at. Scott, where in my post that you quoted did I mention Jay Wright or Tony Bennett? I am talking about Brad Stevens. The same Brad Stevens who purportedly once considered Indiana his dream job. Those are totally different scenarios. I'm just saying, you have to ask Stevens before you entertain anyone else on the planet. If money is an issue, you call up Mark Cuban and say "Hey Mark. it's Scott Dolson here. I may be able to get Brad Stevens for 'X' amount of dollars. What do you think?" It's not an unrealistic scenario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMHoosier Posted January 15, 2021 Report Share Posted January 15, 2021 I'm astonished at how IU has become such a poor shooting team. The guards cannot hit the ocean from the beach. And somehow AM keeps recruiting kids that Cannot shoot. Especially Al Durham. He is just terrible. Can someone not help these guys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMHoosier Posted January 15, 2021 Report Share Posted January 15, 2021 I agree. He has had his chance. IU seems to lose something of their old power every years. And the guards' shooting gets worse every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosierdave Posted January 15, 2021 Report Share Posted January 15, 2021 Apparently Wichita State has Thad Matta high on their replacement list. Matta also lives in Indy and his Daughter goes to Butler so it would be a good situation at IU for him. Wouldn't be a top 5 choice for me but something to consider...

It would surprise me if he’d take the job if Archie is fired. He seems too close to Archie. I’d love to see him come in like Martelli, but that would be a big adjustment for Archie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He won't be able to recruit because he's now deemed a racist old white guy. Not one past or current player spoke up to help him. What does that tell you? And he was extremely high on my list and level of respect but there is something to that. And he didn't get even sniffed at last off season. Not 1 sniff.

Don't forget how the team really stank during the Vonleh year - no shooting at all. Crean got lucky with Vic, O.G. and then Bryant but still lacked shooting. One would *think* that that lesson would not be repeated, but here we are 4 years without one marksman on the roster (exempting Stewart). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted January 15, 2021 Report Share Posted January 15, 2021 Watching a national podcast with Jeff Goodman and another guy who I don't know. There are discussing Archie and his job security. Goodman said he didn't think Archie was a fit for IU and would have been a better fit for OSU because IU is to much of a fish bowl. He also said if IU makes a change then who could they hire that would be better. He said there is no chance of Stevens or Beard so who is out there.
