Welcome Coach Miller

[Me So Hornsby 2,747]

As for OOC I'd like to see a home/home against a pretty solid team.  Get the team used to having to win in a hostile environment, instead of beating cupcakes in AH all the time.

Home/home against a Kansas/Florida/Arizona level team and a series against U.K. at Lucas oil would make me a very happy Hoosier

I'd like to see something like the MSU approach to OOC scheduling.  They may take some lumps early, but they are always ready for March.

Me too once/if we had a squad to compete. Haven't had that in a bit.

Just avoid the bottom 5-6 conferences in general. Occasionally, a Horizon or MVC school will go from top 100 to sub 200 in a year but for the most part stay in the leagues that are consistent.

Some folks were asking if press conference would be on tv here is your answer

Another on the list of things Crean didn't learn from Izzo.

I may not have been, and still not, enthused with the Miller hire but at the end of the day we all want the best for this program.  I want IU to be able to see 'we're here' and opponents thing 'ah crap' instead of 'not for long'.

Someone tell Archie to schedule a series with his brother. Bring the Kentucky series back too. It's time for us to throw out the directional schools and get back into the ring with the big boys. 

If he calls out UK during initial press conference I will lobby for an extension. I want our coach to have big stones

Coach Calipari is his cousin. I don't see him calling him out like that.

Also, the jury is still out on Pitino and Hookerville U so who knows.  Clearly, we're late to the Romeo dance party, but I've no doubt CAM will make a very serious attempt to entice him to IU.  

Agree -- until that situation fully shakes out, a Louisville lean means nothing. Prying him away from Duke is another story, but it's way too early throw in the towel.

Also very close to the family and part of the reason he came here. The bloodlines in that family are crazy. 3 coaches that fill top 10 jobs in the country.

One thing I know is where ever Crean lands we will be in his bracket come selection Sunday .

Absolutely.. this is the March Madness "cash cow" at work. It's a business at the end of the day and there is no way I believe the brackets are "random", location wise. They will seed accordingly to sprinkle in a few potential drama-fied matchups

Well, we should know how to beat him.  Slow it down and watch the hilarity.

Quick, text Archie to throw in a 2-3! Oh, and then go to man and switch every pick!

And no reason IU can't play both Kentucky and Arizona. Need to improve the non conference schedule to get ready for March

He'd have to make the tourney first...something he's only done 8 out of 18 times.

Or play a zone defense.

I've read something in the last 24 hours that indicated they aren't truly cousins but the families are close and refer to each other as cousin just because.

This would be amazing, but it's not entirely up to him either.

Plus if the rumors are true that he didn't take a pac12 job because Sean was already at Arizona, I doubt he will set up a game to play him every year.
