Archie would definitely be fired if they didn’t win another game.

How long have you been watching this program?  He'd have one more year minimum, zero percent chance otherwise.  I mean it took 9 years to realize Tom Crean needed gone, and Georgia fans are already realizing he's a poor coach.

Relax, just was questioning why people were so dead set on Alford and needing an IU guy. Heard it often and in the grand scheme of things I’d rather have Fife who’s not struck out at a few stops already vs Fife who’s been tutoring for the best coach in the conference for quite a bit. I’d wouldn’t really want either of them if I’m honest

Crean was an Izzo guy too. Crean Coaches completely different than Izzo. Fife has also been a head coach before and it wasn’t exactly great. Does Izzo even have a good coaching tree?

I thought Crean and Izzo were both Heathcote guys and worked just a year together? And wasn’t Fife the youngest coach in D1 at the time of his only head coaching gig? Get a guy from Mars for all I care as long as they can get IU winning consistently, no reason to get agitated with me

My lowest point ever as an Indiana fan. Zero faith in this coach. Zero faith in this administration. Zero faith in the university. This is the closest I’ve been to tuning out IUBB and waiting on the next change to come.

I truly hate this team, and if you know me, I hate to hate. It’s ugly to hate and I dont endorse it.

Raging mad.

Next year will be the same. I can’t even look forward with any hope or enthusiasm.

Have never been so disappointed in IUBB

Same, in regards to the disappointment and lack of hope. I’m not angry anymore. I’m emphatically apathetic. I only watched the game yesterday bc I seen that Knight was confirmed to show up.

What did make me angry was when I seen all of the greatness at center court for Knight’s reunion. It was staggering. It’s infuriating to think that this is how far we’ve fallen. I don’t pretend to know what really caused this but I find it impossible to believe that this has happened by accident. This was done on purpose. You won’t convince me otherwise. 
 

**Were any of the past players watching the game at any point? I noticed they were relaxing with Coach Knight during the 1st half, then went back into the tunnels at the start of the 2nd half. Perplexing.

You have to win and be entertaining.

The firing of Bob Knight was a staged event, and Knight was a willing participant. He was 79 when he returned to Assembly Hall, and it had been 7090 days since he was fired on 9/10/2000. Not a coincidence.

I would love to see a new AD come in with the idea of making a big splash for his first official act and to make a name for himself by righting this sinking program. Figure the odds lol.

Will depend how bad rest of the season goes. If we miss the NIT it might happen.

At this point I’d take the intramural coach from Sig Ep.  :)

Well he seemed to be the unofficial favorite for many on the committee, not sure if anything has changed
 
When is it supposed to be announced?

Not sure. Really need for this to be the right guy. Just don't have much confidence in our Administration. Still seems to be a disconnect between current staff and the old school.

After seeing the "solely for reference" list, my favorite on the list when all things are considered (connections to IU/IU coaching tree, high-level success, age, no integrity issues) is easily apparent. Primary issue with that candidate would be $$; he currently makes over $4.5 million annually.

I’m guessing it’s beard but I like the mystery you riddle
