Exactly, there are younger less established coaches out there that in 5-10 years may become top tier coaches. Just need the savvy to identify them. Not saying its easy to do, but they're out there and some may not even be head coaches yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not 1993 any longer and IU is not real irrelevant when it comes to the national scene. I have seen the very best of IU basketball and now have seen the worst it can get. I hope in a few years we will get back to being the top of the big ten and college basketball with the right hire. I just see IU at this time not being able to bring in the elite coaches like you apparently think we can. I think the best we can hope for is that Drew or Beard will take the job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who said about settling it is who would come here. You can ask Stevens, Donovan, Wright, Bennett and those caliber of coaches but they won't come. it is not settling when you get turned down by the best and have to go with others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billingsley99 Posted March 12, 2021 Report Share Posted March 12, 2021 Just heard Fish say that IU over last 6 shot 42 from 2, 22 from 3 and 66 from FT. my 5th grade team I coached could shoot that poor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEKA Posted March 12, 2021 Report Share Posted March 12, 2021 5 hours ago, dbmhoosier said: But it works both ways. Alford was the slam dunk no brainer hire in 2001 but a racist BOT member wouldn't allow it and the administration caved. Beilein was the absolute no brainer hire when Davis was canned but again our President wouldn't allow it purely because of race. I'm not saying the IU fans are perfect but the administration bears much if not most of the blame. They created this mess. Where do you get your information from? It always sounds like you have an axe to grind against the IU admin. Just curious, because accusing IU of blatant racism is kind of a heavy hand. Care to share your "knowledge"?

He blasted IU this morning on the early show saying how we needed an IU guy. Wouldn't say who because there isn't one good enough. He clearly said anyone that played for RMK. I don’t think he cares at this point although everyone knows he’d prefer Alford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OLDIUFAN Posted March 12, 2021 Report Share Posted March 12, 2021 Ok, I really am done,but I have to say Archie is delusional. In his post game Interview he said something like. I meet with the Admin, every day we are in a good place. The program is in a good place. We have players who play hard. What is he talking about! We went almost 10. Minutes with out scoring. But hey we hustled doing it! The number one object of the game is to score more then the other team! Which we don’t do very often. Then he talked about fatigue set in is why we shot so poor. Then why did we have Freshmen that didn’t play a few minutes to give them a rest. I don’t know but, our freshmen aren’t that impressive after watching the Freshmen of the other schools play.

I'm the first one who pointed that fact out. I think Beard is a good coach, but I think a lot of things in coaching basketball fall outside of a coaches control, much like most professions that are performance based.

BADGERVOL Posted March 12, 2021 Report Share Posted March 12, 2021 So what’s going on in this thread? Haven’t even looked in 36 hours I don’t think. I assume IU lost? Was it bad?

dgambill Posted March 12, 2021 Report Share Posted March 12, 2021 4 hours ago, WanamakerIUFan said: Agree here. I think what is sometimes lost on the fanbase (and not just IU) is how difficult Indiana is as a job. Coaches know this. I really respect CAM and Crean too for having the courage/ego to take on the Indiana job with the knowledge of what will happen if they can't do it. I've been a consultant on a few big time hires (not Indiana unfortunately!) and sometimes hires that seem like a home run don't necessarily work out for whatever reason. There are a lot of coaches that wouldn't want Indiana and it has nothing to do with what has happened over the last 20 years or so. If Coach is really out it'll be interesting to see what's next. I'm still sticking with things that I'm hearing that Stevens isn't an automatic no. It'll be interesting to see if Indiana shows patience there with regards to the NBA season. If there is even a possibility I’d wait. No rush since college season still has almost a month left. But Celtics are coming on strong and might be a long time before they are eliminated from playoffs. Gotta hope they have to play the play in game and lose or something. That said I’d go after Drew since he has strong Indiana ties and has been through a rigorous rebuild before. If it ends up being Belien then I’d want an assistant in waiting like Fife or something.
