Fife was on Davis'

Dakich was on Sampson's

Cheaney and Easton on Crean's

 

Having an IU guy as an assistant is not necc the way to bridge to our past. The right coach and the right AD are the ways to do that. The right assistants are there to help the coach do his job successfully.

Agreed. I feel the same way about Asst's as the head coach- get the absolute best available. I would LOVE to have IU guys on staff- if they deserve it, but not just to check some box.

Honest question, you are suggesting we need an Indiana guy to help the coaches better understand our unique culture. If that is the case why are you suggesting it has not been done over the last 17 years?

IF there is an Indiana guy ready I would love to bring them in but just having one on the roster as an assistant is not something new. You mention 17 years later, well Davis, Sampson and Crean had former IU players on staff during that time period. So hiring an Indiana guy, just to have someone to bridge our unique culture has been done.

I would love to see Michael Lewis brought back to Btown. Has instate coaching experience at Butler and now some BIG experience with Nebraska. All time assists guy at IU and understands valuing the ball. Was a tough as nails guy for a small.

I loved watching Lewis ball out all over New Albany's state runner up team. NA couldn't do anything to stop him and they had a handful of really good players. Lewis was a grinder with a sweet stroke.

Exactly. Let's not forget that Davis was an assistant at IU for 3 seasons under RMK, the man who created this "culture", before he was hired as the header.

Bring Yogi back for an assistant! He wants it! Trust me

Were have you seen this? I haven't seen anything about Comer at IU and besides Elston wasn't the DOBO he was the director of player development.

I thought it was widely known that Arch was bringing two people with him which ended up being Comer & Olstram. Comer will be and already is the DOBO. Their already working on the schedule together. Elston is still with the team and could end up being the DOPD. As far as reported I don't know but I have seen it.

Illinois to Akron. What a move.

Just curious. I hadn't seen anything reporting that anywhere. I had seen that speculated but nothing confirmed.

Nothing can be confirmed until it as been posted for a certain amount of time due to University regulations.

One thing you are correct about is that Elston very well could be back next year in the same role. Flint & Olstrom are in for sure and are here in Bloomington.

Groce getting Akron would be a double-bummer because Jeremiah Tilmon is asking out of his letter to UofI. Would have been incredible if Groce could have brought him over.

My exact thoughts when I saw Tilmon asked out of LOI.

We wouldn't have a roster spot for him. 

People are soooo against Creaning till they see 5 stars

[Trish 11,506]

Offer Groce 1.5 million a year before the presser.

 

Do it Glass!

I think Tilmon is staying at Illinois.

You're the only one.  Twitter world exploding that he's asked for his release and rumored to Missouri.
