Indykev Posted October 28, 2021 Report Share Posted October 28, 2021 On 10/23/2021 at 6:34 AM, Blazin Hazin said: It's weird when you hear fired coaches like Archie talk and realize that they're actually pretty smart and likeable. I thought the same thing when Mike Davis was interviewed a few years ago. Coaching at this level is really really hard, and for whatever reason, Archie just wasn't up to the task. The best reason I can give is his offensive scheme just didn't work. Perhaps non-coincidentally, it didn't work for his brother either in the last few years either. The pack line D didnt work in the era of the 3 ball. And the talent he had. Not smart enough to change it and it cost him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'm remembering wrong but as much as people always complained about our offense I remember us getting plenty of good looks. The problem is we never had a guy on the team who could throw it out of a boat and hit water. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I believe it took a couple of miracles for them to get there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also was one of the luckiest runs I can remember. That same program also gets bounced in the first round on a regular basis. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If i never hear IU and pack line defense in the same sentence again i will be happy lol. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steubenhoosier Posted October 30, 2021 Report Share Posted October 30, 2021 So easy to look in the rear view mirror. A few years ago this board was all about getting Tony Bennet as the next HC. It didn’t work out. I get it. Let it go. What good does it do anyone to keep this conversation going? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bustout Posted October 30, 2021 Report Share Posted October 30, 2021 Archie knows hoops. He didn’t get to IU on accident. He just basically recruited a Dayton roster to IU. Also, all of his 5 stars were Indiana kids - his offensive style had zero attraction nationally. He’ll learn from this and bounce back - better than say a guy like John Groce has. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hitting a last second shot to win a back and forth game is different than three straight come backs that are 2 possession leads with under 20 seconds. That's the other team blowing a game three games in a row. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
