1 on 1 Player Meetings and Rotation Change

[ap2345]

So apparently after the Northwestern win the coaches had meetings with several players 1 on 1. A couple of players basically got told it's my way or there's the door. CAM I guess told a couple of players they could have their release and transfer. Will anything come of it? I'm not sure but it has been reported on multiple message boards today as having happened. Archie even said yesterday I believe that the 11 man rotation they had been using wasn't going to work moving forward. Curious if anyone else has heard anything about this the last couple of days?

Chris mentioned something along these lines in another thread. Hoping it is true and Archie becomes a lot more demanding. His Dayton teams played so hard each and every game, I haven't figured out why that hasn't occurred at IU. Hopefully it won't be the case anymore.

It's possible that Arch was hoping these guys would "mature..."that's not been the case tho

The transfer stuff was not in 1 on 1 meeting, it was in the locker room with every player after the Northwestern game. He screaming at them about playing hard and said if you are not going to play hard, play my way, then bring me your transfer papers and I will sign them, and find you a nice place to go play at. That is what I was told. Now I believe he did have some 1 on 1's but the transfer stuff was in front of everyone.

And I have to admit I don't care if any do elect to leave.  I hope none do but if they do, so be it.  The program survived Knight's firing and it survived the defections when Sampson was axed.  Badly bruised but we survived.  Can't let the inmates run the asylum.

Maybe he went a couple miles down the road and ask RMK if he could use one of his motivational locker room rants

I’m sure the APR kept him from doing this when he took the job. I’m just glad it’s finally happenings. Shape up or ship out.

Maybe we are bruised now... but I’d say we were stabbed and then shot ourselves in the foot after Sampson.

FWIW which is probably very little, there haven't been any names pulled from the published roster.

Hopefully the effort will improve and we can all be proud of that. However, the talent level is what it is at this point though probably good enough to achieve reasonable goals for this year IF the effort is there. How did this program turn into a soap opera?

Right, otherwise we wouldn’t have been able to go to the NCAA tourney the past few years

Would the NIT have still been in play?

This team isn’t talented enough to win games they should while sleep walking. This team isn’t talented enough to take down a top notch team playing their best. However, this team is talented enough to beat a top notch team that isn’t at its best.

Hopefully, we’ve seen the last of
“effort is optional” ball. I also hope that Archie is feeling more comfortable within the program that he does what he needs to do to compete.

Let’s win some flipping games and look good doing it!

Remember when we were worried that Sampson's extra phone calls would result in a postseason ban? Good times...

Let me pump some sunshine into this conversation:

Reading this thread, one might assume that things can only get better, and we're currently at 12-3.
