We can hope it was on Crean for not closing those deals or else they will be in the thick of it. Hard to know where to pass that blame.

 

Aren't they getting Orlando Antigua as well?

 

They have good reason to be optimistic if it's Underwood, Martin, Antigua.

Wouldn't we want it to be Martin dropping the ball? 

[WayneFleekHoosier 46,819]

Yeah, worded it wrong. But I fear Crean was more at fault here. Idk. Speculation.

I kinda wonder if Martin wasn't getting a good foundation. Creans recruiting dropped off once Martin came on board

Absolutely beautiful!

I agree that it is Chuck's job to get us in the door and Crean's to close. Illini have a solid staff as well. Sadly I expect us, them, MSU, Wisky and UM as well as Purdue to be the top of the B1G for awhile.

On another note there is a few people on twitter saying we wanted Travis Steele first and it was him or Schilling's job. Groce was never seriously considered due to wanting a HC job. I think we got the right guy definitely. Steele is a up and comer as well though. Steele and Schilling would have been an absolute monster of a staff.

I live in NC and the vast majority of the UNC and Duke fans don't even know who THEIR asst coaches are.

Sooo, that proves my point that these hires didn't put the rest of the college basketball world on notice that a sleeping giant has been awaken (paraphrasing the posters comments that I was commenting on) not many people outside of IU are even paying attention or care.... that was my point

Inside baseball stuff.. very few follow it. The ones who do are the true diehards. Not as many of those as you would think these days.

Anyone on this board that now lives out of state can attest to the differences in avid/rabid followings.

If the projected staff becomes official --it looks strong. I trust Archie got who he wanted. Wednesday meeting with Romeo is a good place to start. So--it appears we are now "loaded for bear". Now--Let's go hunting!

We have assistant coaches who just flat out recruit. Archie really looking to lock down the state.

[Hoosier Guy 7,472]

Archie said that he will recruit with an inside/out approach. He's the type of guy that means what he says. Great times ahead my fellow Hoosiers!

[Uspshoosier 44,293]

Yes the staff assembled by @Archie_Miller @IndianaMBB is #awesomebaby

Who is this guy haha, he's so matter of fact about it can't tell whether he's messing with us or just someone who's actually involved and is leaking some quality information.

Whelp Chris seems legitimate haha

What a staff

[Capt. Crimson 3,395]

It just occurred to me that it could have very well been an easy sell to get Schilling away from UCLA as he is big on player development.

I can only imagine dealing with LaVar Ball must have been a nightmare for him.

The time:  The present

The place:  Office of Fred Glass, Athletic Director of Indiana University.

Fred:  “Miss Moneypincher get me Steve Alford on the phone.”

Miss Moneypincher buzzes Fred’s office:  “Mr. Alford on line 2.”

Fred:  “Hello Steve, I thought it time we had a little….”

Steve interrupting:  “Fred old man.  I knew that thing with Miller was going to blow up in your face and you’d come calling on bended knee.”

Fred:  “Well Steve I’m…”
 

Steve interrupting again:  “Just so we’re clear, this now puts me totally in the driver’s seat and I have quite a list of demands I’ll expect you to meet.”

Fred:  “Steve, just wait a moment.”

Steve:   “No waiting Fred.  If you don’t meet my demands, I’ll make you look like a total laughing stock.  And that stuff with Pierce at Iowa and the rumor and innuendo at New Mexico, those IU fans will totally forget about that stuff once they know I’m in charge of the program. So let’s get down to the nitty gritty shall we?

Fred:  “Well Steve, actually Archie is still our head coach and to be brutally honest you were never a high priority or viable candidate.  This is purely a courtesy call to tell you that we’re hiring Ed Schilling to be an assistant coach for Archie.”

Fred:  “Hello.  Hello.  Anyone there?”

Fred hangs up the phone with the grin of the cheshire cat.

Lavar Ball is going to end up getting his sons hurt. If he makes some of the comments he makes now next season Lonzo is going to get targeted in the NBA.

Agreed. 

Just gotta think that 

1) Working with an up and coming HC at a blue blood program and

2) Not having to deal with LaVar Ball for 2 more years

has got to be an easy decision for Schilling

And an Adidas-branded blue blood at that.
