you forgot about thanking Austin Boucher. His fast middle school track times should not be ignored

Jeff Goodman reports he has withdrawn his name from the ESPN opening....or any other major sports outlet

It doesn't really matter if IU is or isnt too good for Pitino. Pitino has already been on record saying he would coach the rest of his career at Iona and that he doesn't have interest in the IU job, even though he said complimentary thinga about IU. He called it a Top 5 job

Exactly. This coaching search was bound to be a rollercoaster. The biggest thing that I take from all of it is that if all the info is true, is that dolson tried as hard as he could or is still trying. That gives me enough hope that we are gonna be ok whether Stevens is a Masshole or not. That part of it was always gonna be up to him. The saddest thing is not getting to know the details of how it went south or how close it was to getting him. Thats what happens when people roast other people with info on a FREE message board.

This....a thousand times this. All of the posts that we were given by people with information were not owed to you, me, or anybody else. They didn't have to share any info they were given and after the reaction from some of you, I bet they probably wished they didn't. I appreciate every bit of info and it makes these boards so much more fun to read.

I dont care of anyone is right/wrong etc. I just want to say that this has been highly entertaining on my work schedule so thanks to all.

So is there any way to get pap to sneak into archies office? I mean, it is for a good cause....

I would think if the money has been raised and there are interested coaches that the administration would just make the move....especially knowing the negative effect keeping Archie would have on sales and merchandising, etc.. Maybe the coaches weren't as interested as it sounded?

or the person whose name is on assembly hall is paying the buyout portion in full to move the needle towards a new coach

I think Archie has thrown in the towel on the season. and he seems as if he has thrown in the towel period. His interviews have looked progressively more like a guy that wants out. Just my two cents, but he isnt nearly as animated as he was early in the season.

thats probably the 8th time I've read the name dan fife instead of DANE FIFE. If it is continually spelled wrong, the IU administration might hire the wrong guy

and for the record, yes I truly believe it was snowing in hell in 2016 lol. But we will take whatever we can get

I could see brooks wanting to get away from Kentucky and that train wreck, but how feasible is it to get either one of them next year?

maybe crean told him that he had been thinking about him a lot...that might have sealed it

didn't indiana start the student bill of rights last year or the year before? I dont know much about it, could it possibly be a reason why they didnt/couldnt get rid of Smith? I don't know the answer, just wondering if anyone else did

I was torn between those exact two colors. Daphne blue and the sienna burst. I ended up with the burst but such a hard decision

Thought it would be a good idea to keep this thread rolling ....just bought a 2019 American strat. Love it!

No offense taken. I just think the blame should be on players a lot more on the coach but that's just my opinion. There is a lot that archie miller can do a lot better. The quad wins were brought up to say that the players can win games if they try harder, which in my mind is much more an issue than the offensive system. Again, just an opinion. This team doesn't have a good track record of responding to adversity

That's pretty ironic, considering that embarrassing offensive system and no bucket getters have those 6 quad 1 wins, also combined with the fact that if they shoot well enough, they will win those games or at least be in the mix to win games. Maybe that is a testament to their defense being better than the crean years, I dont know. If they beat minnesota, I think they go dancing. I will just have to agree to disagree with you on this one. Yes you need bucket getters. Obviously. But the losses I saw, especially the blowout losses, was a team that had given up, put their heads down, and stopped playing hard. There are also the games where they shot so poorly, they never gave themselves a chance. Looked pretty similar to the offense that got them wins when they did play hard

So if we hypothetically had that player would you believe that Archie ran a capable offensive system?

IU shuts down ayo and the rest of the Illinois team looks like us IU 72 Illinois 64
