bluegrassIU Posted December 18, 2022 Report Share Posted December 18, 2022 IU will be irrelevant until they hire the greatest coach in history. Sure, do we just find those in a cracker jack box? Do they come as a prize at the carnival? Or maybe just order "greatest coach ever" from amazon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's probably hired an image consulting team and IU would be plenty of opportunity for him to reprove himself. Get to play against 3 big boys every year.

Coach Robby Posted December 18, 2022 Report Share Posted December 18, 2022 Man, really dogging on woody early in the season. It’s fascinating people are ready to give up after one game. I’d rather be playing great ball in February anyway. The talent and potential are there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sea Turtle Posted December 19, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2022 (edited) If you want to regain blue blood status, you have to go out and get a coach to get you back. Saban wasn't the greatest ever until he got to Alabama. He was great, having won a title already at LSU and coaching in the NFL. But, coupled with the history at Alabama, he became a monster. Kansas goes out and gets Bill Self, Kentucky goes out and get John Calipari and Indiana goes out and gets cruddy coaches who have no idea how to build and maintain a great program. And you guys wonder why they are still blue bloods and Indiana is still a has been. Edited December 19, 2022 by Sea Turtle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between2Halls Posted December 19, 2022 Report Share Posted December 19, 2022 So last year people were angry by our soft schedule and how that wouldn’t help us. This year we play a tougher schedule and have some potentially valuable lesson games and … people still mad. Oh well. Time to shut down the basketball program forever.

There are a lot overreactions don't you agree? MSU does this every year. Plays a tough non con schedule, normally gets pretty well smoked, but then tries to learn from the experience. IU has looked like crap, but the season is just getting started. Let's see where we are in February. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
