I know it has been said many times but look at the records of coaches like Bennett, coach K< Wright and Belien after there first 3 or 4 years. One thing that is lost on this generation is the virtue of patience because it is very lacking in today's society. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I would not really want to coach Philly because I don't think the roster was put together well. They have all wings and big's nd no real perimeter players. I'm with you...not a very good coach from what I saw. He was more of a caretaker in Cleveland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully things change as some people have left and others are on the way out soon, but IU leadership as a University has not been serious about IU basketball. They wanted the program taken off of its pedestal and it has been. Not a knock on Archie but when opportunity knocks you just might need to answer the door. Not that I agree or think it would happen nor do I think its the moral thing but if a Billy Donovan wants to coach at Indiana you make it happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were playing in the ncaa tourney but for Covid. We’re seeing his type of recruits and players, tough, winners, and 3 classes in a row of Indiana Mr Basketball. We’ll see how the team does this season (at some point, geez) after Justin’s departure but the outlook with our new young elite PG and Hunter’s health and growth by end of last season, and TJD’s likely soph power season coming, and the whole team valuing the defensive side of the ball, why on Earth would anyone be worried 3 years in?

addictedtoIU Posted September 10, 2020 Report Share Posted September 10, 2020 The chance that former college coaches like Donovan and Stevens come back to colleges again would be slim to none assuming they've done decent jobs at pro level, which they did. To me, college coaches don't leave colleges for pro to eventually come back to colleges again. They come back to colleges because they have failed at pro level in any area; it could be W-L, personnel issues, or relationships with owners, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milehiiu Posted September 10, 2020 Report Share Posted September 10, 2020 Patience young grasshoppers. It took John Wooden 15 years before he won the first of his ten National Championships. And during those 15 years.... the tournament consisted of 6,8, and 25 team ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rico Posted September 10, 2020 Report Share Posted September 10, 2020 This is the way I see Billy D. The guy has achieved the ultimate prize at the collegiate level twice. He is seeking the ultimate prize at the NBA level. He is gonna go wherever he feels will give him the best opportunity to accomplish that goal.

That is an interesting way of describing Larry Brown and it makes me laugh. He definitely did not stick around any particular project very long. I will forever be thankful for his time as the Pacers coach because that is when the franchise turned the corner from perennial 1st round fodder to legit contenders. Those first couple of years of LB were an amazing time to be a Pacers fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
