Yeah it was the check plus conference and then I believe the Archie hire was just a press release was it not? If that's the case then Kent has it backwards. Kent also said IU should wait until July when new president is in place. IMO that's just stupid unless you've got a Stevens guarantee. Oh and sorry guys wasn't sure what was and was not allowed to be shared.

I think it's like @Chris007 said. People have heard multiple things. We will see what happens. I think something goes down today for sure.

Maybe a presser to announce an interm coach while we conduct our search? 

[IUrocker 2,304]

I bet it’s to let people know we didn’t make the NCAA tournament. 

[HoosierFan1994 4,778]

Someone want to let Kent know??

Indysportspartizan just tweeted false alarm on the presser

[IUrocker 2,304]

Well now Indy Sports Partizan tweeted “false alarm.”

I’d always figured he could and should be able to help in this regard.

Re-tooling someone’s shot is a tricky concept. We’ve seen it go horribly wrong.

At some point you have to recruit shooters and build that confidence.

Pretty much every guy on the team has noticeable issues with their shot. But Al is a great example of what hard work can do. If I remember correctly, he couldn't really shoot coming out of HS. He was never an elite shooter, but he turned himself into a pretty good outside shooter.

Leal is the closest and doesn't require a big change, but guys like Lander, Galloway, Hunter, Phinisee, and Thompson need major changes. Galloway and Lander are a disaster right now, but they also didn't have a real offseason to work on things. Hopefully they can make a lot of progress this year.

At this pace I'll just check back in July.

ISP posted this on HSN just now in regards to a press conference rumor:

 

In the comment thread to this, I stated that this was just a rumor some others were passing around and I had zero proof it was real. I have ZERO intel on anything going on right now. This is being played tighter than the Romeo recruitment, which I did get intel on just a few days prior. 

But if you think about it rationally, no news is good news. There are going to be a lot of really good coaches in Indy over the next few weeks. Dolson and BOTs will reach out with feelers about right now, and try to get some meetings when they are in town. If something materialized then Archie will be let go. If nothing materializes then Archie is the plan F. 

Meanwhile though, we will all be checking these threads 10x per day and toxicity will go overboard.

Has there been any update on that Reddit thread where the "insider" claims there will be a press conference?

That is what I was getting ready to say. That dude is 3 for 3. Small sample size but still. He even called the exact time Leal would commit.

Who is the guy you guys are talking about?

His reddit name is IUBBInsider. He posted yesterday that there would be a press conference today. His source is someone "intimate with the administration". His track record is credible too.

Archie survives another day!?

Every day Archie survives is another day closer to IU basketball's death. So, hopefully not.

We thought you were busy today. Come on if we can't believe your word, then what are we going to do. :-) I'm not lining up all of these restaurants to eat for nothing

I think we need to remember it's going to take some time. We can go get Matta or Beilein tomorrow but we really need to do our homework to see if there is someone better out there and that is going to take some time.

Every day without a positive reinforcement of Archie's status from Dolson to me indicates his days are numbered.

So you think if we do our homework to find someone better, will it for sure ultimately result in Archie being gone, or will Archie remain if certain targets aren’t interested? I didn’t know if it’d be a matter of him returning if we don’t hit our target, or will we just go down the list and it be someone other than Archie regardless.

This...100%. That is why I'm not worried about if there isn't a presser today. If Archie Miller is truly safe, if I were him I would be pissed my boss didn't back me up (not that he deserves it) when almost everyone wants me out.
