When the thought, "Will we ever be good again?" starts to creep into your mind...you know you are in a dark place. 

Well atleast our schedule gets easier from here on out! Wait a minute....Minnesota, Purdue, Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan State...Oh boy.

Glass also doesn't even know what a really good basketball coach even looks like. Chris Mack was right down the road at Xavier and look at what he is doing with Lville this year. 

In fairness to Glass the media, other coaches etc., universally called  Archie a “home run” hire.

Green is just the scapegoat

No.  He's been bad for 3 years.   Shot selection and turnovers matter.  He's part of the problem and a pretty significant part.  I agree with some of the other things you've said, but he's not a scapegoat for posters who __________.    That's just not accurate.   Making a play or two here and there doesn't at all make up for the possessions he gives away.

Game tied at 47 today.  Our ball.  Stares Morgan down for a few seconds, then throws the ball at his feet.  Turnover.  Last possession...never looked at anyone else.  Never tried to get the ball to the middle of the floor.  That was going to be his shot.  Selfish and dumb.  Story of his career and it doesn't matter to me that he made some plays today or in any game.  This was one Indiana had to have and he hurt more than he helped.  Again.

That's why Cool Dad had an executive firm do his job for him. See how many seconds he spent replacing Wilson on the football side.

Then why were we turned down three times on our way to hire Archie? Don’t bother saying Glass didn’t offer enough money...wasn’t the case. He had a blank check. 

Only 3 times or are you Fred Glass? No wonder you conveniently don’t want to mention the biggest elephant in the room. Our administration sucks and that has been the one consistent theme running thru this awful drought.

Does anybody know why on a made OSU basket we went to the under 8 min tv timeout?  No team took a TO, because on the next deadball it didn't go to timeout again!

Fred Glass would rather have a rah-rah emotional leader he gets along with than a gruff guy who actually can win football games at a nightmarishly tough job like Indiana.  But hey, at least our players #LEO

I'm not even trying to knock Archie by saying this, but hiring him was either proof the administration just doesn't give a sh1t about athletics, or a sign that the IU job isn't nearly as sought after as we'd all like to think it is.

Some of those called Crean a great coach too, in the name of fairness.

Yep. As sure as the sun rising he was going to dribble the clock down and take a last second hero shot. NO DOUBT ABOUT IT. Somehow that is obvious to internet warriors but not to Archie.

Yes, some did but there were some (not a lot) of comments about his teams lack of defense. I don’t recall much of anything negative being said about Archie.
