Not impressed.

Mmm incredibly unproven. He's done very impressive work at an irrelevant school in an irrelevant conference. I'm not wow'd, but certainly happier with him than a proven underachiever (sup, Alford! How about that loss to UK?)

[Adillac]

Have to say, UCLA looked totally done and disinterested with 8min to play last night.

Lol. You are a piece of work. UK hit tons of shots. Every big shot. It was a good win. They were 1-1. (But yeah, Alford is why they lost last night).

Have a good day, sir.

While Archie wouldn't be my first choice... I would be okay with it.

He has potential to be to be a great hire... but if they had the option of Bennett or Archie... Bennett should be the choice considering how critical this hire is.

*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.

All these flights from Bloomington to OKC, Charlottesville, Dayton. How great would it be if this was Indiana and the search firm doing this to throw everyone off course as they take a flight out of Indianapolis to Boston to reach an agreement with Stevens...I know it's not happening but I have heard every other conspiracy theory figured I would create my own

Archie is better than Crean, we can disagree as to what degree.

But Archie, at 38, is a student of the game. In 12 years he'll be exponentially better than Crean. The only question is how quickly he navigates that learning curve.

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.

The only flight I saw to Dayton from Bloomington is registered to Gold Casters.

[SteelerHoosier]

If Billy D is the hire this whole was he in Bloomington or not will make an awesome 30 for 30 one day lol

[Tom White]

Not a sexy hire. If we hire him, I think that's a bad sign of what everyone thinks of our program.

But which do you want? Sexy or Successful? A possible flash in the pan, this year's hot name, or a long term proven solution?

[IndianaSconnie90]

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

That's the fine jewelry company right ??

Gold Casters sounds like a stripper plane.
Maybe we're hiring Pitino.

[WayneFleekHoosier]

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.

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.

You don't have to. 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.

If its not Donovan, I would rather have Archie than Mack or Holtman.

If it's not Donovan for some reason, Archie is who I want
