He seems like he knows basketball, just not sure the B1G is a good fit for him. At least not at IU and not at this timeframe. Could be another time or another place could be his big breakout place.

Now its Rivals so take it fwiw but still. Even other programs are starting to ask the same questions. Particularly these two quotes. I won't post the Purdue Twitter links i saw in there. L. Wade Childress said: I don’t get it. Good track record and great recruiting. They have zero identify as a program under him. If someone can tell me what they are trying to accomplish on offense, it would be news to me. The plan seems to be set a bunch of ball screens, occasionally throw the ball to Jackson-Davis. But the pieces don't fit together and the team just plays dumb, no other way to put it. DodgerHawki said: They have zero identify as a program under him.

That Al Durham has to be lowest basketball IQ guard I ever seen in the B1G. https://iowa.forums.rivals.com/threads/how-hot-is-archie-millers-seat.345092/ The Iowa fans are very excited about the prospect of Alford being the IU coach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluegrassIU Posted January 18, 2021 Report Share Posted January 18, 2021 I am frustrated as anybody right now. But the whole "Archie is lost" or can't cut it at IU seems a bit premature right now. I want the full season to play out. Trends are not good, but momentum is a weird thing. Not giving up just yet. I still have hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have hope. I have hope because I want success sooner rather than later. Getting a new coach means a lot.of uncertainty.

It's not the darkest before dawn, its actually getting light the closer to dawn you get. The darkest is the middle between civil twilight civil dawn, all depending on the moon phase and time of year. You could have a full moon come up a hour or 2 before dawn and it wouldn't be nearly as dark as say 2:27am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought after how you blasted IUScott for not being a True Fan, you would understand it, but i guess i was wrong. Thirdly, of course i believe "All The World's a stage".
