WayneFleekHoosier Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 *A beautiful piece of work Bad defense usually results in the other team hitting a lot of shots. Not rocket science. We watched it for 9 years with Crean. Alford's team = Alford's fault. Same standard we've held our coach to.You were the biggest Crean supporter for years. Year after year. How am I supposed to trust your assessment of a good or great coach.Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners kreigh8 and Hoosierfan2017 2 Quote

Tom White Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 Not a sexy hire. If we hire him, I think that's a bad sign of what everyone thinks of our program.Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile appBut which do you want? Sexy or Successful? A possible flash in the pan, this year's hot name, or a long term proven solution? WayneFleekHoosier 1 Quote
IndianaSconnie90 Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 For those suggesting a mid-major coach, there's really only 1 question glass needs to consider. Is he willing to allow the basketball program to be the guinea pig for a coach from a mid-major college? Because that's what it would be, nobody knows what a coach from somewhere like a Dayton is going to do with a program who plays big boy teams every year RedsIUfan 1 Quote

Popular Post WayneFleekHoosier Posted March 25, 2017 Popular Post Posted March 25, 2017 Tony Bennett over Archie all day every day for me. The only hires in itself that make us elite in stature, are Stevens,Donovan, and maybe Sean Miller. Everyone else will need to prove themselves. I think Tony Bennett has the best chance of that. My biggest worry with him is our recruiting won't be on the level to compete with Duke, Kansas, UK. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners CR3AMnCR1MS0N, HooHooHoo22, Adillac and 6 others 9 Quote
Maynard Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 Surprised Alford is not on the bottom of the list. He benefited from his SOS, and his win% is solid. I agree. I think he and Sean Miller are mostly a product of the talent they have brought in, but I guess that's part of coaching too. I'd prefer a lesser recruiter who overachieves to a great recruiter who underacheives. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using BtownBanners mobile app Walking Boot of Doom 1 Quote

Alford keeps proving his mediocrity for me, and Archie looks a heckuva lot better than either of them. Also, supported Crean, no doubt. Always hated his defenses and the turnovers, but did think he deserved all the time he received. This year the relationship clearly ran it's course, and moving on to the next thing (regardless of whether the best guy was available or not) was the right decision. thebigweave, BtownBanner6 and RedsIUfan 3 Quote

The end of game situations Friday looked very much like a Crean coached team. Huge interior advantage... settle for jump shots. That being said, when I ran the numbers on coaches he came in right behind Donovan.Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using BtownBanners mobile app WayneFleekHoosier 1 Quote
JSHoosier Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 Guys, if that Gold Casters flight is the one mentioned Archie Miller is probably not on that plane. SteelerHoosier and pumpfake 2 Quote

Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners I agree with this but I feel as though Bennett has proven he can beat high-caliber teams with less talent. It would be very interesting to see what the recruiting uptick would be like for him at IU. I can't get myself to buy any of the Donovan stuff so focusing on Bennett and if not him, the Millers. White has certainly been interesting as well. Marshall, Mack, and Collins are the next rung for me.I would give Archie a chance but it's obviously high risk, high reward.Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app WayneFleekHoosier 1 Quote
pumpfake Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 I know anything shared by various "insiders" has to be taken with some measure of salt, but given that at least some of them have some indirect connections to the program, I hope when it's all over we can get details of what all has really been going on these past several days. hsrtxp, Stromboli, CR3AMnCR1MS0N and 1 other 4 Quote
