BGleas Posted February 16, 2019 Report Share Posted February 16, 2019 This is embarrassingly bad. The coaches, the players, everyone involved. I’ve preached patience, I can’t anymore. I’d stick to it if we were trying anything different, but to keep trotting out the same guys that make the same mistakes, to have three guys that just stand around on offense and we never do anything different. This is a team with average to slightly better talent, not great at all and the margin of error is small, but this has been a really poorly coached team. For the life of me, I can’t figure out why Justin Smith ever plays. He should not see the floor for a while. Forrester and Moore can’t be that bad.

CincyHoosier Posted February 16, 2019 Report Share Posted February 16, 2019 I also am off the Archie wagon. I cant watch this anymore. At least in Creans first few years it felt like we were building towards something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobSaccamanno Posted February 16, 2019 Report Share Posted February 16, 2019 i can’t wait until I no longer have to watch Justin Smith preening on the floor. Or watch his “I’m cool” casual jog as everyone else blows by him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milehi Fan Posted February 16, 2019 Report Share Posted February 16, 2019 If this is the pack line defense, then I want no part of it. Can’t do it, won’t do it. I am out, enjoy folks. And I won’t be watching the CAM presser filled with “congratulations to Minnesota, they played a great game”, “ I am not terribly disappointed with our effort today”, “I thought we really competed in parts of the first half”... I don’t want to hear it. I want to see it on the floor for a change. Peace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoosierfan615 Posted February 16, 2019 Report Share Posted February 16, 2019 Very, very sad. And it’s seems as if Dakich is reveling in our embarrassment. He definitely mentions coaching several times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted February 16, 2019 Report Share Posted February 16, 2019 I'll echo my comments from page 3. Blow the thing up and start over in year 3. RP, Jerome, TJD, Keion....and maybe Davis if he can stay healthy or get in shape for once is a solid core. Maybe Al coming off the bench. The rest don't care one way or the other because it's obvious they don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not smart enough to do that but Archie honestly looks way in over his head. Since you have all the answers I say we should hire you as AD and head coach LOL!

Reacher Posted February 16, 2019 Report Share Posted February 16, 2019 Al, Rob and Green are 3-12 for 12 points with 1 assist. Kalscheur is 6-9 for 17 points with 1 assist. We needs serious help at guard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, we are talking about kids playing basketball at a major college and I would think their end goal would be to play professionally somewhere. They should be much more motivated to listen and learn than a kid with a horrible home life and feels hopeless beyond high school. And if they don't want to listen and learn, sit them on the bench. They have a specific skill that they excel at, basketball. They have talent, or they wouldn't be playing at a D1 college, and can improve with good instruction. Plenty of good coaches are winning this year with less talent than IU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
