If you go by what Dolson said in the press conference he is looking for a faster pace offense. If you watch TT play you would see a very slow pace offense.
How sports are going you won't be seeing coaches stay 25+ years in one place. Get Belein in here and give us a great 6 years and get the program back to where it is supposed to be. You can't go right from 0 to 100 but you have to build up your speed first.
I was looking at the roster and if we lose those 3 in the portal but keep everyone else then it is a good roster to start with.
PG- Lander
2G- ? Hopefully get a great 6'5 shooting guard
SF- Hunter
PF- TJD
C- ? hopefully a 6'10 long and athletic center who can step out and shoot outside
Bench
RP
Leal
Galloway
Geronimo
Brunk
Duncomb
I think it was a couple of years ago but Rabby talked to several top recruits in the country. They said that they did not want to play in the big ten due to the style of play
To me al of this has really hurt the offense in the college game. To me the best shot to take is the open shot and I don't care it it is 1 ft, 10 ft or 22 ft. It is funny that using this strategy over the years in college that scoring as a whole has went down and shooting percentage is down as well.
I am sorry for being a little edgy earlier but I am and older passionate IU fan. I just want IU to get back to the top of the big ten and competing nationally. I also would love to see this fan base get back to what it was once was and that is everyone is behind the program. The last 20 years it has been so fragmented and to me this doesn't help the program in any way. I know we each have certain criteria we want in our next coach and some won't be happy whoever is the next coach is. I did not like the Archie hire because I really wanted Greg Marshall. I also backed Archie after the hire and gave him 4 years to judge the hire.
He uses analytics which has ruined the game of basketball. When you take half the court away to defend it makes it easier to guard you. It is all 3's and layups and nothing else. if you aren't hitting your 3's then you are in bad shape.
Musselman was 20-12 last year at Arkansas which was Archie's record last year. So we are talking about Musselman over one great year at a power 5 conference.
LOL! I have been a fan of IU longer and most on here has been alive. I know what great IU teams look like and what made those teams great. If we can't get guys like Stevens or Bennett or Beard then I would rather go with an IU guy over the next flavor of the month coach. Crean and Archie was considered very good hires who was up and coming and how did that work.
