    I think Calbert could do the Indiana recruitment as OF is describing. But we need somebody that knows the prep school game. Archie seems to have the Indiana schools pretty well under control 

    Exactly and I know Old friend is fine with just Indiana players and surrounding states but I think Archie and Ostrom do that just fine, I want somebody that helps us bring is top recruits from outside cause some years the Midwest will be weak recruiting

    Curious to know which part of that description you believe Calbert does not fill?   He is a leader.....and I know that because I knew him in school a little, he is connected having played in the NbA for 15 years and done lots of coaching since, and he's an IU guy.  Personally?  I can't stand Bruiser Flint.  I think he adds next to nothing.    Why is Calbert a bad fit given your description?  I'm at the Reds v Angel's game, so  good 'tween innings conversation.

    Hey at the game myself, if you’re a reds fan it’s been a good one

    I asked Caleb Love to decscribe his final six head coaches in one word:
    Roy Williams-Amazing
    Bill Self-Cool
    Archie Miller-Passionate
    Cuonzo Martin-Genuine
    Sean Miller-Confident
    Chris Mack-Consistent

    Don’t mind passionate but amazing is kind of funny

    1.    Overall record 20-15

    2.  Starting 5:  Davis, TJD, Rob, Al and Devonte

    3.  PPG for top 5 scorers:   I'll leave that one up to you experts but I will pick TJD to be our leading scorer at season end.  

    4.  Hot take #1:  Jerome Hunter never logs a minute of action for IU and I really really want to be wrong about this.

    5.  Hot take #2:  I'll take Race Thompson to be the 6th man of the year.

    Boooo!

    I don't use twitter (or facebook, or any of the social network sites) but I agree about posting derogatory things.  However, the 40% shooting concept is valid and funny (for a message board I guess).

    I said it at the end of the season and I still feel the same way: I don't care how much the players can lift, how high they can jump, or how much they look like bodybuilders - it means nothing if it doesn't translate into playing basketball better.

    This isn’t aimed at you , but the players like it though, it’s not like the coaches are solely focused on these things but the players and recruits like the lifting competitions and records. And young players love to talk about their vert. Look at TJD comments on the vertical video. It’s something they enjoy.

    During a recruiting period a staff is allowed 4 coaches to be out recruiting. While Archie looks to fill the position he will act as the 4th coach out recruiting. Calbert did the same thing on Creans staff. He filled in during the recruiting evaluation while Crean was hiring new assistant. I’m not 100 percent on this but I think they only fill in on the recruiting periods and don’t do any of the other responsibilities an assistant coach would have. Sounds like Schilling’s contract was only 2 years and maybe just didn’t get renewed

    If that’s the case kind of odd it’s taken this long
