Agree with this list. Top 3 aren't happening or they would have already. I'd take Beilein for however long he wants to coach. He wins in March.

No fans in AH has outed how terrible we are. Every game is essentially on a neutral court - and we suck.

Not always. Glass actually responded to an email of mine and answered specific questions years ago during the football HC search. Whether or not it was actually him - who knows. Probably not. Only people that can get to an AD are those with the fat wallets.

I'm off the Archie train too but can we get serious with names. What on earth gives you hope IU will do what it takes to get a Brad Stevens or Billy D? They've proven time and time again to go for the cheaper option and hope it works out - this is why we are mediocre year after year. And let's just stop with the Brad, Billy D talk - it isn't happening or it would have already.

Agreed. Who cares about his age. He wins in March.

Eh. I'd go after Beilein.

Re-read what I said. I didn't say keep him for the hell of it. Who would you like to see us hire?

Ok. Il'l ask again. Who are you going after? You're not throwing up any solutions other than he isn't the one.

Fair enough. I disagree. "Will they be better who knows". I mean, come on. You don't fire someone and simply hope the next guy is better. That would be the most incompetent thing the admin could do. Say we fire Archie end of this year - who are you going after and how long are you giving him to succeed?

Agree with the others saying firing Archie now will only bring us more of the same. Who's going to replace him? Unless you get Billy Donovan or Brad Stevens (we aren't), I'm not sure anyone worthwhile will want the IU job. Face it - we aren't the Blue Blood some want to still believe and I have absolutely ZERO faith in our admin to go out and open the wallet. Tom Allen deserves it though. They better pay that man whatever he wants. You can't just keep firing coaches after 3-4 years. That's an irrational way of attaining sustainable success. Building a program takes time. Archie is running out of that, though.

21% from the field. 12% from 3. NW Idaho Tech's B-team would beat us with those percentages

Exactly. Missing layups left and right but forget about that - let's blame Archie

wasn't meant to be comforting but rather why we're getting crushed. can't win if you dont shoot. everyone seems to want to blame solely Archie right now and ignore facts he isn't the one out there shooting the ball

some of you need to grab a beer and relax. they're shooting 22% from the field. 14% from three. UT's percentages double ours.

whatever happens, whatever decision is made....the NCAA will screw it up - this is a certainty

right thing to do, IMO Not sure how the NCAA tourney can continue at this point. Needs to at least be postponed.

Yeah. If this is true like what du fuq were you thinking, Hoiberg? Let's just completely ignore what's going on in the world right now and go coach your 7-24 team of kids anyway in a packed arena. In all seriousness, I do hope he's ok. With his heart condition, if it is coronavirus, it could be very, very bad for him.

The food poisoning rumors on Hoiberg would make sense. I mean is getting rushed to the hospital typical for this damn virus? Food poisoning can hit you out of nowhere. He seemed fine in his pre-game interview coming off the bus. No way he, and everyone at Nebraska, would be that stupid if he'd been feeling sick all day to let him anywhere near the team and an area full of people with what's going on. Especially someone who already has serious health issues like Hoiberg.

Sounds like Hoiberg isn't doing well at all. Yikes.

you're not alone. consistent failure from the University, AD, and those who make decisions has gotten us to this point. time to be bold. time to actually go out and get a big name ala Billy Donovan or such. If they want assistants paid - freaking pay them and shut up. Wins and consistent elite 8/final four runs will solve everything. That isn't going to happen with Archie, another mid-major coach, or heaven forbid they do something completely stupid like hire Dane Fife as our next HC. I simply have no faith in our admin to make anything happen other than sit and watch Archie struggle for another year.

That pic is so cool but I'm pretty sure he's been here. Was an assistant under Thad at OSU Clearly a much different feeling as the head coach at IU! Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app

I'll support coach Miller but this confirms our place among "everyone else" in college basketball. Blue bloods don't make hires like this. Kentucky, duke, UNC would not take a chance on someone like this. I hope he succeeds and succeeds at a high level but this is a bit deflating Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

yeah i think people really need to chill with FlightAware stuff.
