Yes he does and since IU has a coach now, IU will compete for the B1G championship next season

Ehhhh may want to push those expectations back a year or two. Lol.

Technically 3.0 ...Thanassis is a fringe-NBA/D-League player.

We can call it 2.5 then haha

Why is Jessie Eisenburg always around? I see stuff about him being in the area a lot of the time but I'm in the dark about the connection there.

His ex's mother is the founder of the middle way project here in Bloomington. Jesse loved the idea and has stuck around ever since.

He's also a Pacers fan.

Just watching some of his mix tapes, I can't imagine what he could be with high level facilities and training..

We need some really good assistant coaching to speed up this transition.

I really want John Groce. I think he's a solid coach, just got dealt a short hand with all those injuries and mishaps off the court.

His name actually has been thrown out there as a possible replacement for Archie at UD. 

[Me So Hornsby 2,747]

Not to keep going with the Antetokounmpo talk, but Arch clearly has a relationship with the family. Could put the younger brother(Alex) in a position to end up in Bloomington. Hype on him is unreal right now.

Donovan is a him. Late 1960's singer-songwriter. Very flower power sort.

Best way to view BTB imo.

I prefer to say long shot.  He may have listened, but it would have been a huge accomplishment to get him or Stevens.

There really is a pool of about 6 guys (the ones we debated about endlessly) that are currently the best options for anyone looking to hire a coach.  Each in that group has pro's and con's but all are very good coaches and we got one of them (perhaps the one with the greatest upside).  It would be practically impossible for ANY program to pry Calipari or Self away.  All the other top tier coaches (perhaps except Few) are approaching the finish line and will be retiring soon.  Between now and when that happens there could be a coach that rises to the top, but right now there's no guarantee that UNC, Duke, Louisville, or MSU will have a better pool to choose from than we did.

From what I've seen of him, Archie Miller looks to have the demeanor, pedigree, and basketball smarts to develop into one hell of a coach for us.

There seems to be conflicting reports of his salary. both 3 and 4 million has been reported. Is there a definitive answer out there yet?

[theriverpilot 5,607]

I have to admit, I kind of feel like a d-bag that I got my hopes so high and fell for the all of the Donovan rumors. But I think Miller might be the best possible fit here and I think IU can be something special with him.

I think that FCTC is a helluva good tv analyst.

Yes he is. His spot in helping out during draft time was awesome!! Sounded better than any of the other guys. Saw someone say he should take a job in the NBA as an assistant and I agree with that too. Both of those are solid options for him. Take some stress off him and his family for a year and see what jobs open up next year. Is Riley still planning to play baseball here? I wouldnt care but I hope the kid is treated fairly if he does. Now that he is gone it wont be close to as bad as we all thought if he stayed. Crean family should be welcome at IU anytime they want. He is at the womens game today which took balls.

Wearing an IU shirt as well I want to add. I see on twitter people are shocked and I just laugh. The dude was here 9 years. Has built friendships and knows the players on every team we have. He isnt just gonna walk away and suck F IU and we shouldnt expect him too.

Calling my shot now, the Greek Freak 2.0 and Romeo will be Hoosiers. Cmon Arch you can do it!

I definitely concur on Romeo

[Walking Boot of Doom 18,170]

Have no idea if a joke or what the reasons would be, but some reporter tweeted that Crean was at a 76ers practice today haha

I think Crean would fit perfectly as an assistant in the NBA.

Nope. This team had a lot of talent that wasn't maximized. We all know why that was the case
