I think the last couple of times I heard of some trustees/ parties making contact with some candidates and others contacting different ones. There has been a faction that have wanted Alford as well. I am hopeful that with Buckner involved perhaps your info reflects his influence and is a more collective feeling amongst the trustees.

MikeRoberts Posted February 9, 2020 Posted February 9, 2020 I still don't get the hatred for Dakich. His style may or may not be "for you" but he has the highest rated mid day show in the country and he sure as hell isn't wrong a whole lot as it relates to IU Basketball.I don’t care for him but that wasn’t my point.My point is that many have suggested Archie is being held back by the school and using the term handcuffed to excuse him for losses and poor performance.Now, to my point, Dan wasn’t a fan of the hire nor the staff Archie brought in and has gone as far as to belittle and make fun of each of them. He has been critical of the school, staff and team and for many, he is just telling it like it is. Dan would likely know if Archie is being handcuffed and would have no qualms against sharing that type of information. It would behoove him to share it, it would bring more listeners and debate and interest around what is happening. If he knew of any handcuffing he, more than anyone would talk about it. He hasn’t and therefore I don’t believe it, it’s just an excuse some have made up and repeated over and overSent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Maedhros, rcbowla and Deserthoozier 3 Quote

I personally believe he deserved that opportunity over Mike Davis...Alford could have avoided the entire Pierre Pierce ordeal and possibly been very successful at IU all those years ago...I know he would have recruited the State very well!

Alford Bailey Posted February 9, 2020 Posted February 9, 2020 A lot of IU fans Ive talked to away from btb wanted Alford. I talked to a friend today who was against CAM from the beginning. Said he couldnt handle the big stage. Looks like he was right. I wasnt on board with hiring Alford but he would have been better than this current debacle. KDynamite 1 Quote

Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners That’s my fear, they lose out and give up before we get to the winnable games at home against Minny and Wisconsin. Want to be wrong but just have no confidence in the roster as currently constructed. Roster needs an overhaul in the worst way but I have little faith in next year barring some incoming transfers.

Loaded Chicken Sandwich Posted February 10, 2020 Posted February 10, 2020 Well it looks like Beilein is getting something to build on with the Cavs. Sexton and Garland for the youth. Love and Drummond as vets. A couple more good moves in the summer and a good draft, Cavs are back in the playoffs. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners Quote

Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app 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 lillurk 1 Quote

I mean it took 9 years to realize Tom Crean needed gone, and Georgia fans are already realizing he's a poor coach. Napleshoosier and MikeRoberts 2 Quote
