What in the actual f*** does “he gets it” mean? He played for Mike Davis. So, we think Mike Davis basketball is some wine that got better with age? ok.....I’m out. lol NCAA tournaments since 2017.

We need more pack line? Mack is a 50-50 to me. First, I don’t think he is leaving UofL, but I’m not sold on him anyway. I think he would be worth the 10 million risk....maybe? lol I’m a Smith fan. But, is he Miller 2.0? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted March 13, 2021 Report Share Posted March 13, 2021 Guys I don't just want a coach because he played at IU. What I am saying if we can't get the top candidates like Drew, Beard, Matta, Beilein I would rather go for an un proven IU guy over another mid major coach who is also unproven at this level.

They just didn’t hire a IU guy. Miller plays pretty damn close to “IU style” and he sure recruits “IU kids”, right? What about Miller isnt IU style or IU kids? Because if it’s the winning, see my previous post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An IU guy would know the style of play and the type of kids that fits best at IU Absolutely. Coaching and playing for IU is different. A coach that understands what is expected/demanded of a player is critical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Archie's offense is no where near what Indiana offense looks like. Indiana basketball is about shooters, Smart basketball IQ and players who play with intensity and have not seen that from Archie's teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fife is 3rd on his own team. Whatever...I just can’t. I know we are desperate but this IU guy thing is just so overblown. And to use Roy Williams as the reasoning ...he is also the reason you don’t have to hire a former alum...and yet then became the reason you do. Guy is just a great HOF coach....quit trying to compare guys. If fife was the guy whatever but nothing says he merits the job. Who merits the job, long respected you as a poster. Beyond the obvious wish list. Are you saying stick with miller? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we have to go get a young, less proven coach I would take Boyton and Okie State 100x over Fife. That dude is only making $1M/year, he would be easy to get.

I don't want Boynton, but I would take him over Fife. He's at least proven he can have a top tenish team. Fife? He has a losing career record and hasn't been head coach in a decade. If we hired someone with that resume that didn't play here I think the fan base would revolt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they hire Fife they have to bring in an experienced coach like Beilien or I’d even consider Wittman or Woodson who have extensive NBA playing and coaching resume which is a big deal in recruiting.

addictedtoIU Posted March 13, 2021 Report Share Posted March 13, 2021 3 hours ago, JugRox said: Scott, from now on, at least reference things in this century to be taken seriously. That happened over 30 years ago. THINGS CHANGE From 1935 to 1941 Minnesota won 4 national championships in football. The success story of Roy Williams at KU is relevant in any era. It means even a young, relatively inexperienced coach can succeed if he’s put in the right situation Or it also means some people are just born to do something so much better than most of others. Like you said, if this story is not worth to be mentioned just because it happened in 1988, then why do we even celebrate the last undefeated 1976 team? That IU team will probably lose multiple games in today’s basketball, and most likely not win the championship either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that how Fife is going to recruit? Fife isn’t going to be the next coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
