All we would have heard was one big, long bleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep! If Pearl is Vito, Knight is Sonny. Same honorable intentions, but more of a temper and a quicker trigger finger.

This is just something that right or wrong is almost never called in the last second of the game!!! Made even worse for the miss of the double dribble? I think the foul call, and the non-foul call, were correct. Both would have been a moot point if the double dribble had been properly called.

dgambill Posted April 7, 2019 Report Share Posted April 7, 2019 That quote about preparing to win is a Bob Knight quote. Anyone think it a coincidence these guys play this way for a Knight assistant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way our fan base talks about Pearl is a referendum on our fans, not Pearl. He gets talked about like he is scum, but the reality is I think you'd have a hard time finding a coach who cares more for his players. I would sign my kid up to play for him in a heartbeat.

I don’t like his recruiting tactics, I don’t mind playing the game, but I think he’s too far over the line. But, I love how much he loves and cares about his players. I love his passion. Not to turn this into an Archie thing, and I’m an Archie supporter, but of my few criticisms one is that there doesn’t seem to be enough emotion and passion around the program. It seems like a pretty cold relationship between players and their coach. We could use some of Pearl’s passion and emotion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing he has ever been in trouble for is a BBQ at his home. Is that really deserving of the title dirty? Do you buy from Nike or Amazon? Those organizations are a lot dirtier than Bruce Pearl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to pick on you because you are far from the only person to feel this way, but WHY should officials ignore obvious fouls at the end of the game? I have never agreed with that. If it's a foul, it's a foul! If you allow defenders to hack away just because it's the end of the game, you make it unfairly difficult for the offense to score at the end of the game. Call the fouls. I'm sick of ugly hacking Wisconsin-style defense. It's ruining the beauty of the game. ...and without question, Guy was fouled. It was a stupid foul, frankly, but even homer Charles Barkley admitted it was a foul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was weird watching on video too I was disappointed Archie didn’t speak about each guy individually. I also thought it was weird that there didn’t seem to be any emotion or a greater connection between Archie and Morgan. I know the wins haven’t been great the last two years, but where would Archie and Morgan be without each other? Morgan flourished under Archie, and for Archie, Morgan was really the only stabilizing force the last two years The only interaction was Morgan complaining about playing the 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CincyHoosier Posted April 7, 2019 Report Share Posted April 7, 2019 Maybe I'm a bit jaded because IU beat MSU twice this year but it's amazing that they are even in the final 4. They definitely overachieved this year. That said, this Texas Tech team is very, very well coached and fun to watch. They clearly look like the better team.
