But we’ve never done that. We’ve never fired a coach after 3 seasons. Hell, we’re known for keeping Crean way too long, that’s what we’re known for, not cutting bait on walking dead coaches With what we have coming in next year and combine that with another season of not making the tourney, that is the nail in the coffin. We may not fire him but he is a deadman at that point. All those 21’ in-state studs we’ve been hoping for are going to be long gone Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

I don’t know if this fan base can endure the rest of this season and another one on top of it before a change is made. There is no reason to believe we make the tournament this year and we are not addressing our glaring needs yet again next year. Last years complete collapse caught us by surprise, we’re now expecting it and no end in sight Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

I snuck out of work to go that game By myself. Never snuck out of work and never been to a sporting game alone but did it because I knew how important of a game it was and got my heart ripped out Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

I think it’s telling that there are some that were finally pushed over the edge after today, me included. Been on the fence for a long time as to whether he could be the right guy and been hanging on by a rusty nail for a while. Also telling that the Archie defenders aren’t here, not in the game thread nor here. I’m not saying they changed their stance but where are they? Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Winning is cool. It would be great to have a fun to watch and play style but if it wins like Virginia that is fun if it’s your team Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

We already have that. We started 2 seniors and 2 juniors. Not going to get much older than that Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Did he take the job? Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

This is so not true. Will we be able to offer duffle bags of cash to grandma like some programs... maybe not but I don’t think Michigan basketball, Purdue basketball, Wisconsin basketball do and they have all been in the elite 8, final 4, championship game in recent years. This is not on the administration at this point. Archie is here and has had 2.5 years to get this looking like a competitive team and it isn’t. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

If we offer this current team (it is a tourney roster if it was well coached) and $5MM a year we could get 95% of current D-1 coaches If we wait until recruiting is DEAD and our roster is completely rotten and only offer $3MM we will be limited Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Saying this for the very first time, took me 2.5 years but I have been thinking it for a long time. Archie has zero idea how to coach, build a team at this level. We are stuck in pergatory until a change is made. Zero idea Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

They’ve officially given up - turning this crap off. Zero effort and structure, discipline Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

They will correct you that he hasn’t had any losing seasons Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

More gum chewing than coaching going on. His gum might be more annoying than Creans diet coke Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

We’re on one... Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

This might end up worse than Wisconsin? Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Our whole offensive scheme is geared towards getting to the line but we can’t hit free throws. What’s plan B? Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

WTF am I watching? What is this cousin f’ing Alabama Betty Crocker crap is this? Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

11 years of watching IU not be able to play offense in the half court Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Brunk gets us back in the game with hustle and now goes to the bench Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Best offense is guards air balling 3s and Brunk and TJD rebounding and putting it back up Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Green chucking Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

I don’t think anyone is thinking help is on the way. Go to that thread and it’s mostly people agreeing that those 3, while not bad players, don’t fix our problems Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Maybe call a timeout and plan your best two scoring plays to end a 9 minute basket drought Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

That’s scary Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

I was just teasing him but yes, married with a 3 year old and 8 month old... we’re all in our candy stripes and been listening to “this is indiana” while we play nerf basketball in the basement Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app
