Bowhunter Posted March 21, 2021 Report Share Posted March 21, 2021 Bennett’s team pace is so slow. Your usually going to be in every game, but so is your opponent🤦♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, like you said, kids are getting older, Lubbock is a dump, and I’m sure Pat Knight is recruiting him like crazy. His offense is my biggest concern personally.

Steubenhoosier Posted March 21, 2021 Report Share Posted March 21, 2021 This is gonna be a little outside the box, and I am sure that it would never happen, but if I was the AD... I would have every HC candidate sit down with Don Fischer for a couple of hours. Not the sole criteria, but I know damn well that Fisch would be able to determine whether the guy gets what it means to lead this program. Don has been around forever, and has seen it all. I would totally trust his opinions and feedback. As I said, would never happen...but I think it should. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leathernecks Posted March 21, 2021 Report Share Posted March 21, 2021 Not that I see it happening, but Bennett is probably the last coach I would want IU to hire. He's basically the entire B1G conference on steroids. Slow, efficient, physical, and terrible in the tournament. Yeah, I know he had the championship run, but that was a fluke. They had a really good team that year, but they had no business winning some of those games. Props to them for doing it, but I don't see that happening again for him. With Bennett, I could see us doing great in the regular season, and flaming out in the tournament. 8-10 years of solid results with disappointing endings. I'd rather take a chance on a mid-major who might be great or might flame out. Not to mention, his games are about as exciting as getting punched in the face.

I’ve read elsewhere that it’s at $3 M. Either way, it’s manageable IMO. There’s a poison pill if he stays in conference but that’s immaterial to us.

Outside of their championship run, he's been upset almost every single year he's been in the tournament. Multiple losses to much worse seeds, and multiple blowout losses.

His teams play at such a slow pace it allows lower seeded teams to hang around. His title team was an unusually high scoring team for Bennett, so their margin for error was less than his typical teams. They still should have lost to Purdue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They still should have lost to Purdue It's going to help you at times and hurt you at times, as will any system. And it'll moreso help being that it is the tempo they want to play at and are used to. Teams that love to get out and run typically have issues when they get slowed down. Look at some of Tom Crean's teams and many SEC teams. Half court offense isn't a strong suit. They should've lost, but they didn't. And they went on to win it all with that system. Fast teams are susceptible to turnovers, which can let a team back in a game in a heartbeat. Chris Beard's defense vs Musselman's offense will be interesting. Never watched Musselmans offense. What happens when they get slowed down?
