Maybe we would have had Billy Donovan? Lol. Semi-serious. Hard for me to get ‘pumped up’ for any “realistic option”. But a move to almost anyone gives me more hope than I have in Archie. So there’s that. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app

Apathy, plus lack of faith in the administration in next hiring doesn’t even make a potential coaching search as fun as it should be. Enfield? Lol. Fife? Lol. No one is going to waste their time daydreaming of these scenarios. Only a few hires out there that peak my enthusiasm. Keeping Archie as some have suggested is a death nail, it can’t happen either. At one point we thought Indiana would ‘open the checkbook’ and hire a winner. I think that thought is less likely this time around. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app

Oof

Maybe him and Archie can go coach together in Belarus? Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app

Captain obvious here, she’s really good! Right now Homestead in on a streak. They are a big and popular Fort Wayne school but they rarely have standouts in basketball. Right now, Luke Goode, Fletcher Loyer, and her. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app

Might as well go out with a blaze of glory. 72-63 Purdue and a chair toss to tie things together. You know, cuz history. Instead, The crazy thing is we probably lose by 20 and Archie compliments Purdue on being a great team.

It’s finally catching on. Archie Ain’t It! Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app

That’d be a baby step in the right direction. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app

I could go on and on and on. Indiana University, itself, is trying to drive me away from the University I once loved. Now, I just hold precious memories of the great times I had. I’m not sure they ever, or especially, currently represent what I stand for. Glad I had a full scholarship. Glad for all the friends I’ve made and memories that are indelible.

It's going to be hard for Indiana to give maybe it's worst statistical coach a fifth year. Covid Pass? I presume this is the only deliberation point. He's lost the fans, the media, and the players. I imagine he's lost the administration too. I've said this before, I think a stellar recruiting class would have immensely helped his case, but there again, he fails.

I imagine her sneaking up and getting a steal as a clock runs out of a 10 point loss to get 500 steals on the dot. “Got em” In all seriousness, she should be a good one. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app

Should we play Childress to insert some size into the lineup? Lol. What a joke. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app

I agree with you. Illinois has been strong. Thanks namely to Dosunmu and Cockburn. I’m genuinely curious to see they can continue the success without like talent. I say probably not. I think Michigan, Purdue, Michigan State poised to be the better B1G teams next season. Illinois and Ohio State next up. Maybe Archie will figure out having 2 or 3 legitimate studs leads to winning basketball games. Landing borderline 4 stars and hoping to build something might work at Dayton or might work if you are a special coach. If you are Archie Miller and those players don’t particularly care for you, it might be an uphill battle. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app

Yeah, Scott Drew was the most reasonable big name coach, I could think of as well. I think he’s got a chance to do well. Better than most options being thrown around. Will Indiana let him do his thing? That is the question.

Count me in the camp that Fife isn't ready for IU and what it will take. He's never ran a mid level program let alone a top sized program in the country. I can't get excited about that hire at all. It does seem like the type of hire IU would want to try.
