Great Read. What's the Jesse Jackson Connection?

Its almost like we have PTSD with Firing coaches after the Knight debacle and now we're scared to fire anyone at the right time. Fred and the administration need to read a self help book on leaving toxic relationships.

Who else could IU of hired at the time?

I didn’t watch the game, but I expected this outcome Maybe Archie is better at half court offense than Crean, but transition O, and shooters are a big issue, so it doesn’t matter if he has the recipe, he doesn’t have the ingredients and hasn’t shown he can develop players. Honestly at this point it seems to be a lateral move from Crean. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Does she think the standing and waving and video tribute are a "spectacle"?

This was bad. Projected Kenpom record is still 19-12. But I could totally seeing us lose the next 11 games Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

hahaha I'm just way to wound up and defensive. I went back and re-read it. I get it now. Cheers to those who ***** beside me in the battlefield that is the IU boards.

Old Friend, let me retype the title of this thread for ya in case you didn't read it: The Unbridled Negativity Thread. If you didn't know, unbridled means: uncontrolled; unconstrained. I stay on the negative threads as to not bring the sunshine pumpers down on the other threads.

Over under on how many pages this thread explodes to if we lose to NW tonight?

I missed it before, what's the single biggest issue holding IU back from being a top destination?

Do you think the job is more attractive with a new AD and president?

Can you elaborate? What home run hires did we go after and say no? I wouldn't have considered Mack, Archie, or Holtmann home run hires at the time, but I would have been happiest with Holtmann out of the three.

To be fair, most fans wanted a home run hire and I wouldn't say we got that when he was announced.

I just don't see how they improve that much on either defense or offense through the rest of the year, but not ruling it out. I'm really on the side of, convince me you shouldn't be fired... FCTC was on Dan Dakich yesterday and he was fantastic, I wish he would have been able to come on his show during his time at IU. It would have probably helped put fans at ease if he could have been just real with them on a public forum and not have his only communication with the fans be postgame shows. Is Knight coming official? Would they announce this before hand to make sure its a sell out?

Have to be able to make the tourney. KenPom projects us to win 7 games the rest of the year, the only one road game at Nebraska which seems doubtful considering the first time we played. That would put us at 18-13 (8-12) ((Kenpom projected record does not equal totals of W/L from above)). We also aren't heavy favorites in any of the remaining games except for Nebraska. So a 17-14 (7-13) or 16-15 (6-14) record is maybe more likely than the outcomes of 19-12 (9-11) or 20-11 (10-10)

How was there not a clause in his contract that said your buyout is reduced if you miss the tournament for three straight years. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

^this x1,000,000. Why is it that brown banners board members can come together to create great ideas. And it’s been crickets and cobwebs from the athletic department for 12 years. Everything about the basketball program needs a young fresh breath of air. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

So my understanding from a national perspective: Here are the Pro’s: -Facilities are now on par with the average college program -talented in state recruits -rich history (5 championships) -large fan base -unique home court advantage Cons: -lack of recent success -lack of established culture of winning -poor administration and compliance dept -inability to operate in grey areas -sometimes too traditional and high school kids don’t care about being super conservative and traditional What am I missing? And which of these is the reason Archie is failing here? Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

But why? Especially if we miss the tournament it will be beyond toxic and waiting another year after that will put us back into a serious rebuild Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Also, Fred thank you for leaving before you could get fired! Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Is this the worst position the program had been in over the last 12 years? Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

True but he now has more at his disposal then Tom Crean ever had. Did Crean not ask, or did he not know? Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

He did. If Allen goes 5-7 next year then Fred Glass was sold fools gold with his 7 year extension of him. I’m still bullish on IUFB. I’m not really a CFB fan so maybe I’m just uninformed. TBD Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

While I agree with you on Fred Glass, I thought Allen did an okay job putting the team in a position to win. We make the PaT or field goal and it’s a different ball game. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app
