The outlining of this team's inconsistency was spot on. Smith needs more time obviously. I can't argue with giving Durham more time running point over Newkirk at this point. However, it's tough to argue Moore needs more time based on how little we've seen from him. I'm going to trust the coaching staff on when it's time to give this kid time on the court to develop. And to point blank eliminate them from tourney contention is actually a bit early still. Thanks for sharing this one. I hadn't read it yet. Not sure if you know know Mile from previous boards, but welcome to this one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IUDan93 Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 I get the idea of playing guys to gain experience for next year, however I think you need to establish a culture of winning. This is hard to do if you make decisions to play guys with the pure intention of winning games next November. "You play to win the game." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IowaHoosierFan Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 smeh. He has some points, he is also writing as a fan instead of an objective observers like a writer should be. My heart tell me some of the same things, but you can't always do them. CAM cannot give up yet on the season regardless of how we're playing now. In another month you might be able to make the call and start planning for next year with playing time. But for, you have to play and coach like we're going to make the 64.

Benner wouldn't last these days and I know this Davis chump wouldn't either. Shoot...Doyel barely lasted his first 3-4 months (his words) after writing a couple of rip jobs of IU. So to answer your question. IU has what? 100-150k alumni alone let alone what 500k in Indy markets alone? More than double Fort Wayne population. That alone has everything to do with it. Employers know it, papers know and most importantly sponsors know it. If Dakich can get run (my guess this is last year) whoever Tom Davis is would as well.

I don't think you realize how big the Fort Wayne Metro area is and the backing IU has there. The author keeps putting stuff out there like he has been doing he will be driven out of that city. The area is comprised of IU fans, alumni or not. It is a Hoosier area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Davis trying to get Hartman to go to Butler was a big part of it. I stopped for good when the Duke guy wrote about how Langford should go anywhere but IU. He failed to make any points that made sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
