Dakich taking phone calls and he's getting his equivalent of "Dittoheads".  It's just a bunch of half-wits kissing his butt and agreeing that Steve Alford *must* be IU's next coach.  I just don't get the idea that IU needs an "IU guy" because other guys don't "get it".  What's there to get?  Any solid X and Os coach that comes here and recruits the state will be an IU guy in no time.

Lots of traffic and activity here... can't keep up... but in case it has not been posted (didn't see it, personally), here's Glass' statement:

Quote

Athletics Director Fred Glass announced the decision in a press release.

“After deliberative thought and evaluation, including multiple meetings with Tom about the future, I have decided to make a change in the leadership of our men’s basketball program,” Glass said. “Tom Crean brought us through one of the most challenging periods in IU basketball history, led his players to many successes in the classroom and on the court and represented our university with class and integrity. While winning two outright Big Ten titles in five years and being named Big Ten Coach of the Year, Tom worked tirelessly to develop great young men and successful teams. However, ultimately, we seek more consistent, high levels of success, and we will not shy away from our expectations. Tom is a good man and a good coach and we owe him a great debt of gratitude for his many positive contributions to Indiana basketball. We wish him well.

“The national search for our new coach begins immediately. The Board of Trustees and the President have expressly delegated to me the responsibility and authority for this search and hire. While I will not be establishing a formal search committee or advisory committee, I will consult with basketball experts from around the country and throughout the State of Indiana, including many former Indiana University basketball players. The expectations for Indiana University basketball are to perennially contend for and win multiple Big Ten championships, regularly go deep in the NCAA tournament, and win our next national championship—and more after that. We will identify and recruit a coach who will meet these expectations.”

Why?

They were getting beat badly but made a run. I stand corrected lol. His knock has been tourney success but has ran into HOF coaches so he gets the nod. If he loses today it has to add some nervousness to it. I would personally call Stevens, Donovan, Jay Wright, Tony Bennett, Archie and Sean in a group call lol, Holtmann, Mike White and maybe Bryce Drew. Alford could jump in there with a big run.

Just now, Maynard said:

Please note Archie Miller.  I've tried to watch several of his games since he started being mentioned.  No thanks.  He will end up as Crean II

I agree. Don't get the Archie love. Don't get it at all.

This is what a rebuilding year under Bennett looks like. And they lost their best player because Bennett kicked him off the team in the preseason. Post Season success will come.
