IUDan93 Posted March 9, 2021 Report Share Posted March 9, 2021 The worst thing would be the scenario in which Stevens is looking to return to college coaching in 5-10 years, but our next coach does too well, maybe something like 1-2 Banners and 4-5 Big Ten Championships. I mean, how could IU justify firing the coach???? If this is what causes us to miss out on Brad, man I would be really, really mad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s possible by that point Brad would be to far removed from coaching in college to have real success. Especially in recruiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted March 9, 2021 Report Share Posted March 9, 2021 I truly love to be totally wrong on this and we see Stevens on the side lines next year or even in the future. I would gladly eat crow and my opinion be so far off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted March 9, 2021 Report Share Posted March 9, 2021 I saw a quote from Archie radio show and hope it was he was misquoted. Someone said that Archie thinks we will probably not shoot well in Lucas Oil Stadium. I don't know the context of the question or answer but if he is going in with an attitude of defeat before the game even starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John S Posted March 9, 2021 Report Share Posted March 9, 2021 Can we all agree that if it ends up being offered to a ‘up and coming young coach’, IU will do a thorough background review including input from ADs, former players, assistants etc? 2 minutes ago, IU Scott said: I saw a quote from Archie radio show and hope it was he was misquoted.

Most are just saying if he’s truly unhappy in the NBA, this would be the perfect time to at least ask what it would take. Pipe dream? Absolutely. Doesn’t hurt to ask though. I’m done posting on this thread as well, until I know if we have moved on or not. No matter what I’m cheering for the Hoosiers! What do you mean by "if he's truly unhappy?" There are no indications at all that Stevens is unhappy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IUrocker Posted March 9, 2021 Report Share Posted March 9, 2021 I guess it does make sense that it’s harder to shoot in a larger stadium like that because of depth perception and it being more of an open area...but my Lord this team doesn’t need that going against them. They’ve built brick walls inside Assembly Hall as it is.. Archie trying to make sure he brings up that excuse to the fullest beforehand, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams often struggle to shoot in those more cavernous football stadiums, and this will be an empty one. Based on that quote, he wasn't talking about IU specifically.

DC2345 Posted March 9, 2021 Report Share Posted March 9, 2021 Well he might be right. Large gyms/stadiums can be tough places to shoot in. Especially when the are empty. I’ve coached many games in settings that I’ve told high school kids to get to the rim and not settle because of such reasons and that gym is a fraction of Lucas oil.

I think it's probably an accurate quote. If he was just talking about IU he could've just stopped after the word "ball". And if he was talking about multiple days (the word "week" was in the post) then I don't see how he could've been talking about just IU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IUwins0708 Posted March 9, 2021 Report Share Posted March 9, 2021 Well if Archie thinks all teams are going to shoot more poorly than normal then we may not even score a basket. Not sure we can accomplish shooting any worse than we have the last couple years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
