Brass Cannon Posted March 6, 2021 Report Share Posted March 6, 2021 Just now, BEKA said: I'm not a hater, but it's hard to feel sorry for a dude set to collect either: A) another $3+ million if he's allowed to stay for another year, or B) A sweet $10 mill buyout if AD/alum take action. The last job I got canned from gave me a cardboard box to pack my stuff and payed out my unused PTO @ around $1000. This is just one of those situations where it's not working out. Break up before it becomes really weird, please. Yep I don’t feel bad for him. I got laid off to boost a stock price last April. I was just fine at my job. Sure as heck didn’t get 3 years salary paid out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU/Butler/Notre Dame Posted March 6, 2021 Report Share Posted March 6, 2021 1 minute ago, Steubenhoosier said: The two scoring droughts were the game, no doubt about it. However, as most of you want to suggest, I saw zero evidence of quit from any player or the coaching staff. None of the poor dynamics that many on here have insisted was the case. Also, for all you guys who continue to downplay the significance of his absence, Joey Brunk would have had a major influence on the impact Eddy had in this game Brunk WOULD have made a big difference ...and no I didn’t see any major effort lapses in fact I even saw tjd show some emotion and call guys over to huddle and look engaged. But that’s just a single recurring issue, we are consistently horrific in offensive execution and shooting. When we play super hard all game sometimes we mitigate our lack of offensive consistency through effort and defense and we either win or don’t get blown out ....when we have loaded in effort on top of our offensive ineptitude is when we lose to lessor teams or get boat raced by good teams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He beat Iowa twice this year That’s greatly outweighed by the other points. When it’s tough at the end, he can’t guide them to wins. You’re a smart guy and entitled to your opinion, which I highly respect. IMO, it hasn’t worked out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we had the talent to win those games why are we 10th in the conference each of those 2 years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgambill Posted March 6, 2021 Report Share Posted March 6, 2021 27 minutes ago, IU Scott said: Wonder what Painter was saying to Archie after the game, good luck in your next job. Maybe he is begging that Archie stays at IU for a long time I think it was like a year or two ago I heard from someone on this board that opposing coaching staff say they hope Archie sticks around forever at IU. Basically that he is easy to prepare for and that they don’t respect his ability. If that was an actual quote it is telling. Didn’t believe it at the time...but I’m wondering now.

We are the bottom feeder, even at home. 6, 9, 10, 10 averages out to 8.75. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

addictedtoIU Posted March 6, 2021 Report Share Posted March 6, 2021 3 minutes ago, NY hoosier said: I know this won’t be popular, but we are simply no longer relevant in mens CBB. If IU wants to be taken seriously we need a whole new approach I think we're right at the crossroad. Either we accept the perpetual mediocrity or we take 'Bama's approach and bring in a star coach. IU admin and BOT need to look in the mirror and ask themselves what they truly want. If the current status of IU men's basketball doesn't bother them, they should allocate significantly less budget to men's basketball and start spending a lot more for football and women's basketball. IU doesn't need to pay 3+ million/year to hire a mediocre coach, either let Archie take a paycut and give him a few more years or bring in another young up and comer for 1.5 million/year. Or if IU really wants to revive men's basketball, it needs to get into arms race and should be ready to spend 6 million/year. Spend more to make a lot more. I don't see there's anything good in the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Big Ten has been considered the best recruited and game planned conference in the country. This is why some coaches struggle to succeed in it because they don’t prepare like the top teams do.

I’m sure it was meant to be a dig at IU, and I’m perfectly fine with it if it was. You beat someone 9 times in a row and 7 under the current staff then you earned that right. And again maybe he’s right since Ayo from Illinois basically said the same thing.🤷🏼♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
