Ya he wrote an entire manifesto on what the uniforms at IU should look like. He said that no sport at the school should have names on the jerseys and they freaked out. His idea was the 5 stars on the back of the pants. It honestly doesn’t make sense because the tops don’t match the bottoms and the cut of the jerseys isn’t what the cool/good programs wear. I’d also like to point out that I tried to find a powder blue LEO quarter zip from adidas and can not find one. Which is sad, if this were a Nike school they’d be all over the LeO branding and pumping that nationally. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Isn’t that because Fred Glass designed these uniforms? Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Multiple pros, journalists et al, have all said he runs the best practice in all of college bball. Says when they travel they all stay in the same room to bounce ideas off each other Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

My guy. Change is the only constant. You have to look at uniforms not through the lense of an IU fan, but as an 16-18 year old. The cut of our uniforms isn’t what kids want. Adidas doesn’t push any merch for IU. Done believe me? Go to any open gym at a YMCA and see what the kids are wearing, it’s not adidas. Names on back would signal we are with the times. If you want to say “keep the piping style jersey with no names for home games” then I’m okay with that, but the cut needs updated. A few years ago on this board someone posted Texas Techs practice facility. It was twice as large as ours. Had twice as much stuff, more courts, etc. IU may have a top 30 (closer to 30 facility) but not top 5... my point is if we want a top 5 blue blood program we have to act like a top5 blue blood. I hate the atmosphere of the yum center too. I think there’s a way to make assembly hall better Is all. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Uniforms, (Nike sponsorship, names on back, adding mascot (the Arkansas Razorback uniforms were so cool, we could do the same with a bison)) that’s an easy fix, same with a few of the other complaints. Facilities, I would assume you would need to expand cook hall. Maybe double the size and add a lot of amenities. My dream would be we turn the Hyper back into a Hinkle Fieldhouse arena where IU would play for like 9,000 fans while they rebuild assembly hall into something awesome.

I mean there were big complaints with Tom Creans program of playing a ton of cupcakes. The fans pointed it out and Archie solved that problem. I feel like the fans are pointing out the issues of a refresh so I’m hopeful the same happens. I want to hire anyone for a role who says it’s their Dream Job. I’m exited.

Any inside info? Or is that a gut feeling? I mean the practice facility is nice but you have to compare to the rest of Big10 a few years ago they ranked the b10 jobs and IU was like 6th in facilities. I’m excited for this hire.... but IU needs a serious refresh. I’d go as far to see we need to bring the bison mascot back, etc. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

My only worry is that IU needs some serious refreshing. Uniforms, Facilities, some traditions, etc.. can he himself or can he bring someone on to make those changes?

He was tweeting about eating Goodfellas last night. Which I happen to live 30ft away from, so I went downstairs to see if he was there and if he wanted to chat about IUBB. He wasn't. Probably got delivery.

So that leaves Musselman? Who else ? Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app
