This seems appropriate lol Sent from my SM-G920V using BtownBanners mobile app I believe at dinner tonight, this will be my beverage of choice... Just heard Katz on ESPN radio- liked Archie hire, again bashing the fan base saying our expectations are too high- we should be happy with a Sweet 16 run and MAYBE an Elite 8 now and then.. From a national standpoint, I guess it has been awhile; but I'm glad we aren't Kentucky or NC- who cheat their @$$ off and we all know it. I think it's a high risk/reward hire; but he IS a better X and O coach, young, will have fire in the belly and was able to do more with less, Dayton fans pissed-which is always a good sign. Would love to know what consensus is among state/AAU coaches of him. I for one am happy! It's Miller time! Bobman1, IUBBFan1970, CR3AMnCR1MS0N and 3 others 6 Quote
Hoosier116 Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 I've got buddies that are huge Ohio state fans and they are super super disappointed they won't ever get a shot at Archie now. Let's see this one thru, I like it a lot CR3AMnCR1MS0N, Chris Nieman and ALASKA HOOSIER 3 Quote
Josh Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 Except Crean had more money in the program, better facilities, better state, better school, better in-state players available, better players.... Yea fair comparison though.That's what's supposed to make us feel better? They're the same coach but Crean had more luxuries?? Got anything else for me? RedsIUfan 1 Quote
BlueDevil Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 I'm very afraid we just hired Crean 2.0. Similar resumes and he's even awkward in interviews. I'll always be a fan, but I don't see the upside here. How have his recruiting classes been? Off what basis? This dude was coaching at a much smaller school at a whole different competition level than IU and produced. I'm not saying you at all but in general everyone just wants to look at the records and compare them and it's BS. The guy is a much better Xs and Os guy. If anything this comparison shows how **** Crean was at IU. People bring up that Archie hasn't accomplished enough.. I'm not sure what more people expect from someone coaching at the mid major level.

recker222000 Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 Here's the thing, literally every single national figure is saying this is a slam dunk/ home run hire. I understand the apprehension in it not being a huge name, but to write the guy off already or say you are "devastated" by the hire is patently stupid. RMK is not walking through that door and it seems like a lot of people still don't understand that, stop licking your wounds and feeling sorry for yourself. This was a great hire. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile appSean miller and thad matta both came from xavier and we not home run hires. Most home run coaches start at a xavier or dayton type of school. I guess its a risk but better than holtman or mack imo.Sent from my SM-J700T using Tapatalk ALASKA HOOSIER and Tom White 2 Quote

sirhoosierlot Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 Kostas was actually a Freshmen this year at Dayton, so he'd have to transfer, but I'd be cool with that. 6'10" small forward lol Napleshoosier and CR3AMnCR1MS0N 2 Quote

VeevlandBrowns Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 This is good get. This will FINALLY put the death knell to all those "OSU in waiting" stories out of Ohio. I have no doubt he coveted that job, but I was of the opinion that if IU is interested, you can't wait on whatever might be going on with Matta, because IU is an elite job. I wonder even how much it will change the dynamic, because like FCTC, Miller tended to recruit a fair amount of East Coast guys. Will Miller orient toward more of an Indiana-centric recruiting approach? Will be interesting to watch. Quote

Popular Post Hoosierfan2017 Posted March 25, 2017 Popular Post Posted March 25, 2017 Someone tell Archie to schedule a series with his brother. Bring the Kentucky series back too.

Gahoosierfan Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 I feel a lot better now than I did when I heard the Crean hiring announcement 9 years ago. I definitely think he has a lot of potential and can lead us out of the wilderness. He can make this a consistent top twenty and usaually a top ten team.
