Well, we still have the conference tournaments. But right here, right now....you would be correct.

I got a buddy that lives in Noblesville. He knows his basketball, goes to a lot of games in the Indy area. He says that Franklin is the best player he has ever seen at the HS level. And that tells me something. Same guy, years ago, told me to keep an eye on Matt Howard.

Wow, to get beat by Warren Central? Who would have thought? LOL

I really have to hand it to the Boilers. Painter is not a great coach, but he is dang fine good one. They play hard. And that is because of Matt.

The same Dakich that "pined" for Steve Alford to be the HC at IU? Dan is just a "shock jock". He revels in it.

I wonder what Spike Lee thinks about the trade?

Very odd start time.

Basically what I am hearing from Dayton fans on other sites, is they hope we have faith with Arch. They think the world of him. And Flyer fans are all for Archie succeeding here.

Weather related?

I am not in the "burn it down" camp. Trust me. Just countering facts with other facts.

www.sports-reference.com You can find it all there.

I understand that, but it gets somewhat old when people start talking "patience" and throw out their examples. I will dive more into HoF coaches and what their records were. But I get it when you are trying to "build" a program.

Let me see...in year 2, Bob Knight had IU in the FF. Let me see...in year 2, Rick Pittino had Providence in the FF. Let me see...in year 1, Tubby Smith had Georgia in the SS. I could go on and on.

That's fine. I was just saying that some people view alternative history as factual history.

I understand what you are saying, and to a degree, I agree with you. History is a funny thing in the sense that there are so many out there that are "ignorant" of it. But historical fiction to me, does have it's purpose. At least on my end. What if Hitler wouldn't have attacked Russia? What if the Japanese wouldn't have attacked Pearl Harbor? What if England would have won the Revolutionary War? The list is endless....and to me fascinating.

I am pretty optimistic about it myself. There are plenty of pieces there to work with. One you forgot was Davis.

Yep, at some point in time you got to build for next year.

And yet Fitzner and McRoberts were out on the floor.

Try something different? LOL I have been saying that for awhile now. But you get the "He ain't got his players". You get the "The players aren't a good fit for his system". And now my favorite "You got to buy into the culture". We are losing. The season is going down the proverbial toilet. Archie seems to be a guy where you got to win his way, or he would rather lose his way.

That will change the culture for sure.....CBI, here we come.

I really feel we suck.

I would say 5 are untouchable.....but I ain't Dick Williams.

The team has no, and I REPEAT NO, offensive mind set. They are coached that way.

Any concerns answered tonight?

I have said that numerous times. Archie looks like a deer in the headlights.
