That guy is a sick human. Doesn't matter if its related to the Delphi killings or not (I hope it is so the families get closure), but that guy needs to be behind bars for life.

This is where you and I differ.  The Delphi case aside, I see no reason to keep this piece of garbage alive.  He is evil, and evil needs to be extinguished.

I'll bite and do a little speculation.

Bennett offers him a clear starting opportunity.

Woodson is looking to bring new guys in and nothing was guaranteed.

For that to be true, AF would have to look his IU teammates in the eye and say "I just don't want to work that hard to stay with you guys"  Seems a cowards way out.  Something just seems very off.  My best guess is he was an Archie guy through and through, and was hurt by the termination.

I didn't even know that 'Race' is one of our players. Race isn't even a name. I'll try and keep up. 😀 Lol.

Let's not make this a Race issue.  

I;m guessing we get UVA in the ACC challenge within the next 2 years.

Soooo, was this what Fife was talking about on Dakich when he said they wouldn't be begging anyone to stay?

Disappointing...

I wonder what the real deciding factor was?

He wants to continue playing games in the 60's and he REALLY liked the packline defense.

Doesn't really go against what I said though. 

Yeah.  Blue agreed with you for the most part, and I agreed with Blue.  No one was going against what you said.

Hey.. I love me some ranch lol pizza, chicken, etc.

Back to XJ.. I don't like that his former coach had to call him out in post game interview for his behavior. Getting technicals for spouting off at another team's bench is stupid and selfish at minimum and it's not winning basketball.

I agree with Blue.  I don't want to see it excessively, but I remember Sheehey flexing in front of the purdue bench and most people loved it.  We do need a little of that.

I was told in previous assistant coaching threads that we HAD to hire a minority coach for recruiting purposes.  So, shouldn't having a minority head coach be a plus in recruiting?

I'm surprised no one has connected the dots yet.   Mike Woodson is 63.  I doubt anyone including Mike thinks he is the long term solution.  In effect he is a placeholder, and as an IU guy he will gladly step aside when the best candidate is available.  We also brought in Matta to help with the college transition for Mike, as well as to help recruit the best candidate (who he has ties to) when the time arrives.  Now, Stevens has been in Boston for 8 years, when the average NBA coaching tenure is what, 4 years?  The Boston natives are getting restless.  How much longer will he be there?  We are now positioned well if this happens in the next couple of years.  That's my story and I'm sticking with it.

This thread should just be abut Matt Cross and hos transfer and not Archie's ability to coach.

It was sarcasm Scott.  The Fire Archie topic seems to find it's way into literally EVERY thread on this board.  I for one am over it.  I do appreciate all of the Mods efforts to keep discussions on topic.  My point was simply sarcastic.  If I didn't convey that clearly I apologize.

Check the general basketball forum for my opinion 😁

Which of the threads??  Luke Brown?  Women's basketball or the actual Fire Archie thread?  🤣

Gang,

This is the recruiting forum. We can not have every thread go down the same road. There are plenty of threads in the basketball forum for these non-recruiting discussions. 

Please and thank you. 

So you're saying we should fire Archie?  

Soooo, anyone think the Rams dangled that package in front of the Texans?  If Stafford is worth a former #1, two firsts and a third, what in the world is Watson worth?  Is it gonna take three firsts or more?

Don’t know what The Vid is.

Back in the day we would hang out at Time Out, kinda catty corner from the Bluebird 

 

Back in the day I used to get timeouts in the corner as well.  😁

This quote from Booker's lawyer really bothers me.

He doesn’t need to take a polygraph test. Look at the video.

What has been underreported is if this event took place on private property.  I have rather strong feelings about trespassers as one burned down the house (unoccupied at the time) on our family farm.   I'm curious as to how some of you feel about trespassing, or whether it even matters in this incident.

I really don't want to excuse bad behavior, but there are a couple of things here that do not make sense to me.

1)  A group was meeting in the Hoosier National FOREST in the middle of the DAY to watch a LUNAR eclipse?  I'm not an astrologist, but none of that makes sense to me.

2)  I never heard the "N" word yelled.  I did hear one of the people holding a camera try to bait one of the red necks into saying it though.

3)  I never heard anyone call for a rope or a noose.

4)  If you truly feared for your life, and were given the chance to escape the circumstances, would you turn back on your way out to confront your attackers again?

5)  The always relevant "What happened before the cameras started rolling"?

I will reserve judgement on this one.  Lots of weirdness here.  Lots of bad behavior.  It brings to mind the phrase "Fat, Drunk, and Stupid is no way to go through life"

Other new (to me) music from Bourbon and Beyond

Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats

Whiskey Meyers

Lucas Nelson (yep, Willie's boy) and the Promise of the Real.

Much to my surprise there really is some good new music out there.

 Then I found out they covered on of my all time favorite songs with an amazing spin...

Last year, I discovered this band at Bourbon and Beyond in Louisville.  Been on heavy rotation on my playlist ever since.
