I've seen good sources on both sides.

Overall, seems alumni wanted him and BOT didn't. Not sure where Glass stood.

I personally think Glass was thinking Alford at the press conference. Hence the double check plus stuff and Dakich reaction. I think the BOT and fan reaction put that plan on hold.

I know a guy who works with a former teammate of Alford who claimed to be in contact with #12 in the past week and "Glass had already handed him the offer" .... if true, then I'm a firm believer in prayer because God surely answered mine!

Josh is an athlete, not a basketball player.

I will say, I'm curious to see what Miller can do with Josh this summer. Miller has a talented squad coming into his 1st year.

Yes he does and since IU has a coach now, IU will compete for the B1G championship next season

Creans Achilles heel was close games. I would love to know his overall record in games decided by 3 or less points. Where is our stats guru?

Don't know if I'm the guru; I just went last 6 years with Crean and included games within 5 pts too.

5 pts       3 pts      
2017 4 7   2017 2 3  
2016 3 5   2016 2 3  
2015 4 5   2015 3 3  
2014 4 6   2014 3 3  
2013 4 4   2013 1 2  
2012 5 2   2012 3 2  
  24 29 0.453   14 16 0.467

Also, our +/- in Kenpom's luck rating was negative for 5 of those 6 years with 2016 being exactly 0. This year IU was at -.09, 341st overall. That means based on our AdjO/AdjD rankings, we should have been 21-13 instead of 18-16.

After reading reactions from around the college basketball landscape, the only people I see that don't think this is a very good to great hire are those IU fans who were so sure it was going to be Donavon or those that wanted Alford because he is an IU guy.

Yeah more or less. There are some that seemed to want Bennett or Marshall too. But a lot seem to be at the very least satisfied with him. I've liked Archie for a bit now

Then they need to just STFU and quit embarrassing the rest of the fan base- because it seems nationally, these "factions" are viewed as the majority right now.

Excellent thank you very much sir. Those extra wins puts us in the dance but keeps us Crean. A top performing coach stats should be much higher.
