Neither Mack nor Holtman were offered the IU job. Its possible they made their preferences known but Archie Miller was the only candidate offered the job.

I had extensive conversations about my job before ever receiving an offer. Just because they weren’t offered doesn’t meaning feelers were not put out

No they were not offered but we spoke to their "people" about the job and got our answer

So you are saying they said no thanks? I find that hard to understand.

 

I guess I can see it with Mack, but not Holtman.

 

I don’t mean this to sound doubtful. Sorry if it does.

 

Were Archie, Holtman, and Mack all checked on at the same time?

The recent Brian Snow podcast that everyone has been talking about included a tidbit about Snow talking to Holtmann (while he was still Butler's coach) about if he would ever take the IU job. Holtmann's response was along the lines of, "No it's too much of a fishbowl there."

Snow was quick to point out that abstractedly discussing the IU job is MUCH different than being a serious candidate courted by the university but it gives you a glimpse into his thoughts on the job.

Any word on whether Romeo is warming up?  I assume he's not playing, just interested.

Yeah I listened to that, but being offered the job changed everything.

I think I and Indiana had Archie higher on the list than Holtman.

A big part of me is surprised OSU didn’t get Archie because it seems like he would have been their 1st choice.

Hello reporting from scene. Crazy lines to get in again. In line right at 530 and got B 18. Almost filled to entry way already. 

Hoosier Nation is the best!

[LamarCheeks 16,819]

No. 0 is a no-go again.

Race is available so that's at least some good news.

Kinda wish warm-ups had an organized free throw segment. Props to Deron though, he's shooting nothing else while everyone else jacks up bricks from three.

If we win tonight and go on to the semis in NYC, this will be the longest IU season in 17 years.

Going right at Morgan...

[RaceToTheTop 23,571]

Bad call on Morgan.

Smith train wreck is chugging right along.

Gotta get some movement away from the ball

[Crimson and Cream 5,699]

Al needs to focus on setting his feet when he's shooting the 3

[Crimson and Cream 5,699]

2 fouls on Echenique, good stuff

[LIHoosier 24,997]

These refs like them some late calls
