The problem is basketball requires both offense and defense. Sure you can be better at one, but you can' t sacrifice one for the other. Our defense is fine, more than enough. But when you can't hit water if you fell out of a boat you're going to have problems.

In regards to shooting, the pct. is not even relevant right now. Someone needs to take a look and show how many never even had a chance. Air balls, clanks off the rim, and hitting the side of the backboard don't have a prayer. It's not like, if only those when in the basket. It is, in fact, bad shooting.

Look, lets face it. IU isn't going to attract a bunch of 5 stars to fix this mess. You need to coach your way out of it with 3s and hopefully some 4s. As you rebuild the program, you start competing in the BIG and making the tournament. Once players see that there is a)hope and b) a basketball future you can attract them. We are not doing this -- there is no growth and/or adjustment by the coaching staff. Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results is insanity.

I want Archie to grow and adapt. He's in the big time now, it's time to be a complete coach. What works at Dayton, doesn't work here. It's not rocket science.

It's not that our shooting pct. is bad, it is. It's one thing if they have a chance to go in and don't. But IU's shots look like a 5th grade rec. team. I have seen air balls, clanks of the front of the rim, clanks off the backboard, hell even one off the side of the backboard. Nobody with a real shooters touch.

Bad shots early in the shot clock are the equivalent of turnovers. He just needs the discipline to know the what, when, where of a good shot.

All he would need to do is pick one up. :)

Just do a statue. No reason to rename anything. You end up like the old baseball/football teams that run out of numbers due to retirement. Or the row of chairs along the side line -- Bob Kinght seating section.

My grandmother suffered from dementia. It is an unbelievable condition. I once had a two hour conversation with her while she thought I was someone else. Given his condition, there is no way Coach should be in public with his former players. That's just a travesty waiting to happen when he doesn't recognize them. Let him sit up in those club seat behind the baseline and stand up and be acknowledged by the crowd. Fisher can announce his stats, they can put a video up on the board, the crowd can go nuts, and we are done. A quick 5 min before tip off.

I agree. That's why some of this is so freaking frustrating. I hope he figures it out and is here for 30 years.

Not to mention the AD at Marian is a former player. So it's not some random game.

No trigger needed. I thought his response was great. Grape it is.

I'm guessing if it happens, it will be during a weeknight game. Kind of last minute, "hey you up to go to the game?" Something low key without the hype.

"Uncomfortable?" Pic on the other thread shows him being kicked in the nooots.

No lovin tonight. :)

Good win, but I'm headed to the ER. Can't make them easy by making free throws. Green didn't mess us up in the second half. No rest for the weary. On to Rutgers who's hot.

Yeah. Better go check their boards. See how their fans react so they'll only be able to attract crappy coaches.

The problem is if you tell players you're ready to make some changes and you don't, the players know you're full of chit. Can't coach that way. Will never work.

Green in. Wait for the scoring drought. Al just needs to play with 3 fouls

That's like statistically impossible. Wtf

F Archie. This sucks. We do good with a small rotation with out green v nw. Start this game strong without him. Now I got to watch this chit. Archie sux. All talk.

I don't think it was ever scheduled. Just a maybe, depending on how coach felt that day. If weather is crappy that could play a role as well. Or he's there incognito and doesn't want a fuss. :)

Not a knock. Just the conflicting stories. Which then begs the question. If he ate with the team, was he "back."

So one says he's there eating and another says he doesn't believe? Hum........

Most of you are diaper dandys. I was there in RMKs heyday. I know where the missing fish is. :). You all deserve the experience. Hopefully soon.
