Which if that's the case, whatever. Could be his age. Idk Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app I just googled Mack to see if their was something I was missing and the only controversial incident I found he seems to have handled correctly. It involved his star player doing something bad to his girlfriend and Mack immediately suspended the player than dismissed him from the team. Again I have zero issue with hiring Miller and love the hire. I am just trying to figure out why IU was so anti-Mack. I get the issues with the others guys IU said no to (Alford, Marshall) but am still curious if Mack has some skeleton in his closet that IU knows about that fans and the public don't. Quote

I have not heard or read that but if true that would certainly qualify as the skeleton in the closet I was wondering about that pushed us away. Thanks for the info! Quote

IUHAHN81 Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 Is anyone else kinda like "what happens if Ohio St. opens up?" with Archie? Does he ride IU until Thad checks out and then Bolt? I know I know it's way too soon for those thoughts but it was my one concern hiring him knowing we were all hoping for a guy that would have lingering success here for the foreseeable future. Quote

Not really. I think we are the better job. I think if he produces he is a lifer. Was a little concerned IF were would have landed BD how long he would have stayed. IUHAHN81 and CR3AMnCR1MS0N 2 Quote

No way will this happen. This will be Thad Matta in reserve. Just as OSU stole Matta away from us since we were to late getting rid of Davis, with Archie they were to late getting rid of Matta and he is ours now for foreseeable future (and OSU fans have acknowledged this on their message boards). Only way Archie leaves us if either he is fired or bolts for an NBA job. Once you're at IU you don't leave for another college job voluntarily (especially at a football school where basketball is second fiddle). IUHAHN81 and Alford Bailey 2 Quote

Bowhunter Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 I wouldn't worry about him leaving for OSU. I know he said it was a dream job but Indiana has a better past and hopefully a brighter future. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using BtownBanners mobile app IUHAHN81 1 Quote
