As long as it's not Grab-Ass defense we're probably ok. But if he does go with the Grab-Ass style defense, it'll look like we're just goofy around the whole game and not taking it serious at all.
My wife HATES that defense.

Yeah I've heard about this thing called the pack line. What is that? 🤣🤣
It's where you pack it in and let the other team shoot freely.

My issue is with your comment which made it sound like it was an altruistic choice on his part to coach for IU and therefore he shouldn't be criticized. It wasn't an unselfish, charitable decision on his part to take the job. He was paid and paid well to take the job then proceeded to do a terrible job. Criticism comes with the territory and most of the criticism here is fair doesn't even seem very extreme.
Besides, it's not as though he'll read these forums and have his feelings hurt. If he does, he can confirm himself with the $20M+ he got from IU for 4 years of poor results.
Just because you liked him doesn't mean he's above criticism. If he didn't want criticism here should've done a better job.
The point is there is some criticism most people are ok with. It's when it goes beyond job performance type of criticism and it seems the poster has a personal issue with Archie, his work ethics, or his morality, we, as IU fans, should be better than that.

When he was hired, I expected Tony Bennett defense with better offense. But for some reason, Archie's version of the Pack Line wasn't as effective as Bennett's is. If he can figure that out, he may be able to get back to the P5 level. Otherwise, I see him in the mid-majors going forward.

LOL...I forgot about the real possibilities of internet bots crawling this site. Not that it matters, but I would assume that is why "Purdoobie" shows up on a Google search. It also shows up on a Bing search. Maybe one of our "geeks" can explain it better than I can.
If you had titled it Purdoobie-doobie-doo, you probably would have been contacted by copyright lawyers and the site would have been shut down again.

A woman was shopping at her local supermarket, where she selected: a half-gallon of 2% milk, a carton of eggs, a quart of orange juice, a head of romaine lettuce, a 2 lb. can of coffee, and a 1 lb. package of bacon. As she was unloading her items on the conveyor belt to check out, a drunk standing behind her watched as she placed the items in front of the cashier.
While the cashier was ringing up her purchases, the drunk calmly stated, "You must be single."
The woman was a bit startled by this proclamation, but she was intrigued by the derelict's intuition, since she was indeed single. She looked at her six items on the belt and saw nothing particularly unusual about her selections that could have tipped off the drunk to her marital status.
Curiosity getting the better of her, she said "Well, you know what, you're absolutely correct, but how on earth did you know that?"
The drunk replied, "Cause you're ugly."

Next time you decide to post something, just post the complete opposite of it and you may just get it.

The kid was dealt an awful hand in life, he overcame it for a little while at least. I'm rooting for him to overcome it again.
I hope that those making fun of him would at least read this article about his upbringing.
Both of my comments were directed at Purdue, not Caleb.

His little quote below got plenty of laughs from the school up North but like many things....it didn't age well. PS...3.4 lbs isn't personal use weight. Hopefully he gets things straight and all of the Purdue alumni/fans can come together and find him a job somewhere.
Caleb Swanigan, a basketball player that DraftExpress expects to be drafted after Thomas Bryant and OG Anunoby, went on in his letter to say “idc what anyone says we made Purdue look sexy. We don't need that fabricated bs like the school down south.”
I think it is obvious why he thought Purdue was sexy.

Hey, Caleb is a big guy. So I would hate to take a guess at what he ate when he got the munchies.

What am I missing here? I don't remember any off court problems with Hunter?
News to me as well. I just think Jerome was an Archie guy through and through. Only waited until after the semester ended and had time to discuss with his family before making the decision public.
The staff have been too active in recruiting not to expect this.

No, but it’s about recruiting guys that fit your system and help the team win or at least have a positive impact. You can’t seriously believe that Etherington, Hollowell, Patterson, Perea or Dev. Davis to name a few had positive impacts. And if they didn’t, they weren’t the right fit or Crean wasn’t able to pull it out of them. So, yes they were recruiting misses. It’s not about the *** next to their names. It’s about the results.
Patterson did not get his grades in order. He had the same path as Deron Davis, had the summer between HS and College to finish up course work. Deron did, Patterson did not. Why do you continue to blame Crean for that? If Crean could have or would have arranged a tutor for him, you would have b!tched about him cheating to get Patterson eligible.
No. I don't consider Etherington, Hollowell, Perea, or Davis recruiting misses. Just because they didn't play as well as you thought they should have, does not make them misses. No coach bats 1.000 in recruiting, but Crean had waaaaay more recruiting successes, than misses, just like most coaches.
But you continue to focus on the negatives.

Really? You’re sticking with that?
So, just because they transferred, you consider them a miss?

Only went back 8 years. Didn’t feel like he should get penalized for the first two classes given the situation.
Elston, Creek, Hulls, Watford (4 for 4)
Oladipo, Sheehey (2/2)
Abell, Etherington, Zeller (1/3)
Yogi, Hollowell, Jurkin, Perea, Patterson (1/5) - Disaster
Devin Davis, Fischer, Hartman (+), Robinson, Vonleh (+1/2), Williams (+), Ev Gordon (2.5/7) - Vonleh is a half bc he was a poor teammate, not the type of kids we want
April, Blackmon JR (+) Zeisloft (+) Hoetzel, Holt, RJ (+) Priller (3/7)
Bielfeldt, OG, Bryant, Morgan (4/4)
McSwain (+), Newkirk (+), DeRon (+), Gelon, Green (+), Jones (4/6)
22/38 is 58%, so almost 1 out of every 2 CTC recruited was a bad move. I gave NV full credit in my calculation, but I could argue that a few of the guys I have pluses to are generous. This isn’t to beat a dead horse or crap on CTC, but I felt the need to back up my claim. I appreciate CTC taking the daunting challenge that he did and giving it his best, but it just wasn’t anywhere near good enough.
From your list, the only misses that I see, i.e. recruits that should never have been offered a scholarship are:
Jurkin, Devin Davis, Evan Gordon was a senior transfer - not sure I would put him in this category - but ok, April, Hoetzel, Priller, and Gelon.
That is 7 out of 38 that would probably be considered recruiting misses.

That’s some bullshit. Painter is way more successful than Crean over the long haul. Crean never finished over 5th in the Big East before here. He was a wide swing of success and failures because he pissed off players and AAU coaches. Fischer comes to mind. Vonleh despised him. Sheehey despised him. Zeller and Hulls questioned him. Why do you think he struggled recruiting in Indiana after the 2014 class? The one success in recruiting in 2014 was a kid who never attempted to defend. He did Patterson dirty. We can go on and on and on and on if you want.
Actually, while Crean was at IU, he was just as successful as Painter. Crean had 2 SOLO B1G championships and 3 Sweet 16's in his 9 years at IU. Painter had 1 shared title and 1 solo title and 3 Sweet 16's and he started at Purdue 3 years before Crean got to IU. IU fired Crean for that, where as Painter stays at no expectations PU.
Patterson had no one but himself to blame. He had a scholarship to play, he just didn't get his grades in order.
The stuff bolded above, you have 0 facts to prove any of it, so there is no point in debating your opinion.
Why do you hate the guy so much? I am not upset he was fired, but I don't hate him for what he did here.

Nobody has said he hasn’t develop players. Crean kisses ass to people who help keep his wallet fat. Shocker. The next DWade, the next Oladipo, the next Antman, etc. I know an AAU coach who said this one time. “I tell my kids when they choose a school....look at how the coach treats his best player, his worst players and his walkons....you don’t know which one you will be.”
This is Crean’s problem. If you aren’t a top kid, you are dispensable to him. Why do you think he has ALWAYS had trouble with transfers and coaches like Painter doesn’t. People that matter like Painter. People that matter don’t like Crean.
Name 1 player that transferred from IU during Crean's tenure that went elsewhere and did anything. You can make an argument that he recruited over too much, but the players that transferred weren't huge losses. You are making mountains out of molehills due to your hatred of him.
People like Painter because he isn't doing anything at Purdue. IF he had success, people would dislike him. Purdue basketball has no expectations and he is delivering just that.

It’s a Crean issue which is why he had so many transfers here. A lot of ex players talk crap about him when he isn’t around. A lot of AAU coaches know his crap now. He gets made fun of in coaching circles because he whiffs so much on assistants because he is a jerk. Total Crean issue. Any school that hires him will end up running into the same issue.
Care to share some examples of ex-players that talk crap about him? I am sure he has far more that love him.
Every coach whiffs in recruiting and assistant coaches. Heck, RMK had Dakich as an assistant.

I think a warning point should be given any time the word 'Purdue' is typed and not immediately followed by the the word 'Lost'. See examples below.
'Purdue is in West Lafayette' = warning point
Purdue lost to Ball State today = acceptable.
When the word 'Boiler' is typed, it should be auto-corrected to an image of cow poop.
That's insulting to cow poop.

They should hang a banner for the Chest Bump National Championship they won right up there with the 0 banners they have for basketball. They would then have a mythical championship banner hanging like Purdue!
