Sorry I forgot to post my pregame usual, ya'll.. had to get an emergency colonoscopy.. don't ask.

I did catch the game though, and might I say, that boy Ben Wallace is something else; we just couldn't bring him to a halt.

Let's hope we can knock out a win over Mike Bibby and Purdue come Saturday..

Hope all is well... and you know it's a bad day when an "emergency colonoscopy" isn't the most painful part of the day.

To be fair, every IU fan watching that game got a colonoscopy.

I said if archie did not work out that was probably it for me and likely for the program. No top coach will ever come here cause we arent a great program. If archie misses the tourney the next two years his seat should be beyond red hot.

I'm in the same camp. I'm tired of coaching changes, drama, blowout losses and message board meltdowns. If you can't find the right guy in 4 attempts than it's probably time to stop calling yourself a blueblood.

Adam Herbert chose Sampson.  For one reason and one reason only.

Indiana has STILL not recovered from giving Mike Davis the job when Knight was fired.  

It was a terrible decision,  but that pattern continues without blame to Sampson.  It's time to blame Glass.

Fitzner is just plain awful. Can’t defend 1 on 1 on perimeter or post. Can’t rebound. Can’t catch. And also can’t shoot apparently. He’s been tremendously bad.

Great coaches don’t care about great programs. Did anybody consider Virginia, Villanova or Michigan elite/great programs before?

Morgan “I think it was just a matter of coming out with the right mindset”.  Protecting home court, especially with the road games in front of us, was very important tonight but we came out sleep-walking AGAIN. Aside from not having an offense etc, I am beginning to wonder if there are internal issues.  Why don’t they seem to care that much?

[IUHoosier5]

Another thing that I noticed at the game tonight is the fact that Archie does not work the refs well at all. He throws his shoulders back like he has no idea what’s going on, and I’m starting to wonder if that’s really the case. He looked lost tonight. Truly lost...

We're about to agree, but we're also close to being to being told that we need to wait a few more years before we're allowed to have a negative opinion on his "coaching"

Its called the crean honeymoon. Step of the ledge, etc.

Watch Moore on D and you will understand why. Though Fitzer was pretty bad as well.

He's not as bad as Fitzner and that's all that needs to be said. Fitzner brings nothing to the table. Moore isn't a strong defender but he is a capable shot blocker and can affect shots with his length. He can also rebound. And doesn't kill you on offense. It's not even close. I don't care about practice anymore, at some point Archie just has to accept that Fitzner is doing nothing good for us and Moore is. I imagine Forrester is in the same boat as Moore.

He looks lost A LOT.  As does the rest of the coaching staff.   Facial expressions and body language are not in a good place and believe me a lot of people are seeing this.

God.... this thread makes me want to delete the entire app. I usually enjoy seeing other’s perspectives, but calling for a coaches head halfway through his 2nd year is a bad take. We are in a rough stretch. Get healthy, hopefully make some adjustments, and get back on the winning side of things.

The time for adjustments was when we struggled against UC Davis

I'd rather we lose with Moore and Forrester than with Fitzner and McRoberts. Make me think we're developing a plan for the future at least! 

[HoosierDYT]

I’m sure it’s not a popular opinion but I’m still on the Archie bandwagon...but tonight was tough.

 

Regardless firing a coach in less than 3 years has major ramifications for the future because no decent candidate will trust our administration to give them time to implement their system.

 

Tonight was ugly, but what can you really do when 3-4 of your competent 7 players can’t create their own shot? Defenders sag off Justin and McRob, Fitzner isn’t really a threat, and I don’t think rob is a great offensive threat yet either. I’m going to wait until next year to criticize.

I expected more from this team as well, but I also realize the staff has only had a year to bring in their personnel, and one of those key contributors is redshirting.

I am not a fan of the offense at all. I don’t understand how you can’t find ways to get the ball in Romeo/Juwan’s hands more often. Frustrating, but not calling for coaches head after 1.5 years.

Let them talk it out. Maybe it’s therapy for them to type it out. Doesn’t change anything whether you like his coaching or not he will he here at least through his contract. Call it 2,3,4,5 year grace period, Crean honeymoon or whatever you want end result will be the same he isn’t going anywhere. The teams first big patch of adversity has came. Losses were always coming now let’s see how they respond coaches included. Lots of season left.

Wasn’t meaning you! Just meant a lot of people in general. On here, Twitter, post-game press conference chat, etc.

Hoping for some positives on Saturday. The team and fan base need it badly.

I am not calling for his head but if he was being graded on his job performance so far, on a scale of 1-5 with 5 being “surpasses”, I doubt anyone would give him a 5 (or 4).
