IUBB vs Texas - 12/1/20 @ 1:30 on ESPN

I am just saying I didn't see any votes in the MVP thread for Archie Miller yesterday.....

That is part of being the coach/manager/leader... I get that... you get blamed for everything bad but others get credit for all the good.

He sure did! However, these players have all the resources in the world to get better on their own time. Remember Victor Oladipo? Ask him how he got better. It wasn't all Crean folks.. 

Did Cook Hall’s hours become more restrictive or have the players that have come through wearing IU red after Oladipo  just less hungry to get better? I’m not sure what the answer is but these 42 point showings while getting beat by 20+ can’t make it easier to land a Kauffman in the future

Year 1: No shooters

Year 2: No shooters

Year 3: No shooters

Year 4: No shooters

Weird, similar results each season. 

As Bill Walton would say, "Someone needs to tell Archie he needs to recruit someone who can shoot the ball"

OK. We stunk today and this discussion has just gotten silly. 

My pooch and I are gonna celebrate the birthday of Walton's pooch by taking a walk. It's a tad chilly here, but sunny and beautiful otherwise. 

See y'all later. 

At least your dog will be successful in making a deuce

We have no shooting and no point guard.

If the fanbase didn’t piss and moan we would still have Crean. Squeaky wheel and what not

What was said on this forum had nothing to do with Crean getting canned.  It won't be the reason Archie gets fired either.

This board was not the reason Crean got sent packing.

EVERYTHING WILL BE FINE!

We're playing in our 3rd game of the season, can you believe that? We played a cupcake, a below average team, and now a good team finally. We're ready to call it a season after our first true game since early March? 

We're young, we bring 4 freshman off the bench. Our defense is different including our offensive system. Let's give this some time.

I'm not around there often but when I've gone by there I've seen the women's players coming and going.

If you don't like where the program is, blame the administration who makes the hiring decisions. We haven't had a stable program since the Knight years. if we don't get the recruits you want, ask yourself why. What other factors are in play. It is just not as simple as some what it to be. It is also possible that IU will never be at the level in basketball that some people want.  If that is the case, it may be decision time for some.  Just constantly complaining will not make anything better.

Our offense is no different.

To be fair, I wouldn't say the Friars are a below average team. They were only 10 spots behind us in the NET going into our game and picked to finish 3rd in their league. Not saying they are great, but better than below average.

Gonna be another 17-13 record and a bubble team. Could this team be any more predictable under Archie?

The same thing can be said about any coach in any situation. The coach isn’t taking the shots, the coach isn’t playing defense, the coach isn’t making the passes, etc. But they still get fired when their players don’t make shots or play good defense.

Anemic offense has been a constant under Archie. Poor shooting has been a constant. We knew we needed shooters during archies first season. What has he done about it? We still have no knock down shooters. There isn’t a guy on the roster who I feel confident in when they have an open 3. I expect big ole bricks from every one of them. And if you can’t make shots, you’re not going to be very good.

On the bright side, I'd like to see even more of Trey Galloway playing.  He seems to get it.

[maharkn]

Archie picked the players 

You mean we can't blame crean any more

Anyone please explain how Archie can spin this offensive system to top tier recruits. Dude doesn’t stand a chance at this point. These kids are not dumb

I won't add anymore negativity to this thread after this but this performance among many others during the Miller era were just plain terrible. I can accept stinkers from time to time but man this is old. Maybe I'm delusional in expecting more results.

Where did I say it. I said this fambase of which we are a part. Stop putting words in people mouths to try and be right because the coach you back sucks
