How was God’s guidance during his handling of Pierre Piecerce?

‘Just love Jordan Morgan’...maybe learn his name then

In general, Dak is an a&!$-hat much more than asset! He dangles good info and supportive attitude to IU to give appearance, then makes smash mouth idiot statements and under handed attacks. Creating noise/pure speculation on players getting paid/shady deals at IU, based on nothing but pure speculation is one example. You can do that at any school w big recruits. He uses IU to pick at often solely to drive ratings due to his market, and can do better than play that game. Comes off as just a gas-bag too often. He was solid in the Alford camp - and my speculation was one of the big drivers in trying to make it happen. Because it didn’t— thank goodness in my opinion and many others — he seems to have some subtle resentment of Archie and goes back and forth with the program. He is capable of providing great insight and analysis...but too often acts as a tool to drive his personal vendettas and to try to drive ratings. The older he gets, the less attractive this will become.

Agree! Also, Wooden never gets enough credit for being the father of modern day pay to play and cheating in recruiting. The fact that his legacy is sooo cannonized, but conveniently leaves that part out, I believe has done nothing but pour gas on the dumpster fire that fairness in the ncaa has become.

Lil Richard must be sweating this one out...tough to get good connections to Europe for those halftime ‘please help dad’ calls!

It’s only year one of the rebuild! Please check back in 4 years!

Played like an NBAer

Ok - how’s PUke 18 in kenpom @ 6-5??? Makes you wonder about some of his ‘formulas’!

Pine time for Gren!

Ok green contributes! Let’s use that as momentum.

As if the NCCA would do anything to address inconsistency and unfair advantage!

Box out Fitzgerald!!!

Newkirk by a mile!

Fitz’s best play of the year!

Clappy’s Wizard of Oz’adry finally wore off, leaving all to recognize the weird man left standing behind the curtain for what he was. Decent guy mostly, good at promotion - though often doublespeak. Not great coach, not great at owning accountability, and limited discipline which was reflected in how many of his teams played as well as in his recruiting strategy. Archie’s authentic and appears to know the game on and off the court. Will see where it goes, but better than cautiously optimistic here.

Seems to me that he is ‘meeting expectations’ there! ; )

I thought it was relatively balanced. A few no calls or missed calls on both sides. Now the Arkansas game—that was horrible!

Team is collectively playing tough, hard nosed D — something that was consistently absent in the prior regime. That is keeping them in nearly every game. Though not perfect all the time, everyone getting playing time is strongly committed. That’s really refreshing and is creating opportunity. Offensive flow still needing some work - but has come together enough to get it in these tight ones. Again, something that doesn’t happen in past regimes. If it continues to evolve and becomes more succinct - this will be a really exciting, sold group. Good to have a week to get heathy! Goood to beat Uof6!! Go Hoosiers!

Right! It’s not like free pass Izzo was around!!

BTN on IU

Christ...thank goodness he made the bunny!

Screen fouls total crap!!!

Refs are total trash! Got to be a more objective way to get to consistency here!!

Ok. Pull smith

Smith’s got some work to do! Switch will flip...just be patient
