Agreed. I’m pretty confused by all the compliments going his way tonight. He led the team in TOs and fouls while playing absolute garbage on ball defense and contributing nothing on offense until the last couple minutes where he had a couple nice passes. Al penetrated the zone where Green tried to shot over/pass through it and Rob stood around and passed along the perimeter. What we needed from the guards was dribble penetration, spacing from the bigs on the paint.

That only works when the guys off the bench come in ready to play and Hunter, Rob, Armaan, DD and Race have all played as poorly for the most part than the starters so Arch puts them back in. Especially in Green’s case since he’s the only guy on the team who can get his own shot.

I actually got the impression that Archie “gets it” from his comments on the show. People probably need to chill on the accountability complaints, as Archie seems like the type of coach who gets on his players in private and has their back in public. What worries me is, for whatever reason, he’s not getting results out of this team. Hopefully that will change,...something needs to

PG - Rob (with a short leash); SG - Devonte (with a shorter leash); SF - Franklin; PF - TJD; C - Race Al, Smith and to some extent Brunk need to be held accountable for the way they’ve been playing recently. I don’t love the lineup proposed above but only because I ran out of bench spots. Armaan hasn’t exactly earned a starting role but Smith and Al’s defense has been unacceptable and they haven’t made up for it in any other measurable way. We need guys on offense who will set solid screens and move without the ball. We need guards who can feed the post. We need so many things....good luck Arch

Probably because it was an ignorant post devoid of any knowledge of the current facilities this team has been given access to. Blaming the admin for the lack of on court success is simply dumb.

No. We have three starters (Green, Smith and Durham) and Davis off the bench. Archie’s good Dayton teams featured a roster full of 6-8ish athletic bruisers who could run the floor, rebound and pass. They had high motors who would suffocate opponents on defense. We don’t have that roster and Archie has no clue how to make the roster he has play at a high level. It’s a team full of young guys who don’t know what they are doing and upperclassmen who are a group of soft, lazy b*tches who get in their own feelings any time things aren’t going perfectly for them.

Again, what does everyone else have from their school’s administration that our team doesn’t currently have? The answer is nothing. The issues on this team is Archie’s inability to effectively win over Crean’s players and get them to buy in and massive holes in recruiting. His system doesn’t work playing freshmen who are still trying to learn to play at this level and one and dones like Romeo. It will only work when he has a stocked roster full of upper classmen who out work their opponents

https://indianahq.com/iu-basketball-full-walkthrough-of-indiana-hoosiers-apartments-pictures/ In case anyone wants to see the slums half our team has to endure along with their brand new locker room and lounge donated by Zeller and VO. But what will they eat with a full meal plan and cash stipend???

Well IU literally has all of that. Even the football team has their own players lounge. You just don’t know what you’re talking about.

Such as what? Making vague, blanket statements doesn’t prove your point. What is Matt Painter getting from his admin that Archie isnt? What is Chambers getting at Penn St? What’s going on at Ohio St that we need from an administration stand point?

What are you talking about? What’s McRobbie and Glass supposed to do to fix Archie’s inability to recruit in a well rounded fashion and coach offense?

This is the dumbest, laziest team ever assembled.

My takeaway from last night is simply this. I don’t mind getting beat, but I really dislike the team I root so hard for to consistently beat themselves. That’s what IU and Tom Allen are at this point. We still only recruit in the bottom third of the conference which leads to lack of depth. We play kids before they are physically ready because they are the more talented player, which leads to injury. To make things worse, our coaching staff acts way in over their heads, as if the real HC got tossed by the refs and the football equivalent to Shooter from Hoosiers is tasked with leading the team. Allen has a TON of work to do in the offseason (Hiring a solid OC and recruiting large OL/DL holes on the roster) to keep this program at present even and even more work next year to grow it to a relevant level. Hopefully he has a network of solid coaches he can rely on to help him through his clock management and in game adjustment/awareness issues. Time will tell and I’m certainly rooting for him that he will.

Henderhorse?

4 down territory. Time to sack up

Defense looked gassed on the last drive. This isn’t going to end well. Shame on the coaching staff for not having the hands team in.

In case anyone was wondering, Ramsey’s dad also coaches in Ohio

Every week I get reminded why the Ramsey’s got their names.

Whop is frustrated he’s not been more involved but now isn’t the time. Their punter is garbage. Just take the fair catch and run the clock down. I get he wants to make plays but don’t force it on special teams

Would be a huge stop for our defense if we can get them off the field on this 3rd down.

Stuff like this I tend to wonder if the kid said something on the sidelines to piss off the HC.

Kid hit a kick. Good job, doesn’t make him better than Campbell. I wouldn’t expect Justus to miss them all. Good for him though, it’s nice to see him hit one after the last 7 quarters he’s had

Freshman QB off the couch on 3rd and long and we send no pressure. This team is good in spite of this coaching staff. They make all the wrong calls

We have a better kicker in Campbell on ice while Allen plays the blind loyalty card for literally no reason. Justus needs a long off season to get his sh*t together or ride the pine.

This can’t keep happening. Allen needs to be held accountable for this crap. There’s no excuse for it
