Times have changed national perception matters more now for recruiting. We have already had 3 bad hires we have to get it right this time. 

And duke was not a power before Coach K different scenario. 

 

One could argue that Indiana is no longe a power. Not that we haven't been, or won't be again. But with Crean, we were pretty insignificant, nationally.

 

We need a coach that totally restore IU basketball to its rightful place among the blue blood elite programs.

I wonder....

Archie plays such a similar style to Crean...was this hiring to convince players to stay?

Hire Billy! That would be outstanding

That's a pretty depressing point of view but if you want to go with it, all you!

Well it's the truth.  We couldn't afford potential, we needed proven.  This hire HAD to be right, period.  Looking strictly at college coaches, he would've been 3rd on my list at best.

It also makes Fred Glass a liar.  He sold us on a Corvette, and delivered a Civic.

Yes we can't afford potential! Unless of course the coach we hire reaches his potential, in which case we could afford potential. But yes, we can't afford it!
