Unfortunately, this is not a bug, this is a feature.

I wish there was a positive spin on this but facts are facts.

Has anyone ever had a terrible boss and just completely given up on a job and found so much freedom by not being oppressed by the expectations of a soulless dictator that they did their best work ever? That is probably incredibly specific and most people haven’t been there, but I think it is what is happening to IU.

That would take work.

Where has this team been all year?

There are a lot of BS calls. Maybe the Big Ten refs are trying to call it tight to get teams ready for the tourney.

The D looks great. Some of the best they have played all year

You forgot to add that half of the rumors about Matta are that he can't walk, and the other half are that he wants to coach again and has recently been seen deadlifting farm equipment.

Fran also managed to hit .500 twice in his first four years, where Archie only managed it once.

Ding, Ding, Ding! You win the satisfaction of knowing that Archie Miller is on par with Fran McCaffery in his first four years.

Close, but you forgot one.

Let's play a game. Name all of the current Big Ten coaches that have coached for at least 4 years in the Big Ten (so exclude Ferry, Howard, and Hoiberg) that have not achieved a winning record in conference play in their first 4 years coaching in the Big Ten.
