Yeah, I don't feel the need to be revisionist on this.  I have no doubt that if Ohio State had hired first, Miller would have been chosen over Holtmann.  I mean, go to the Rupp Rafters board and see their opinion of the hire:  despite their hatred of IU, they felt it was a really good hire.

Even if you preferred one of the coaches over Miller at the time, most thought the difference in their projected success was very small.  The fact that it didn't work out that way doesn't change that perception.

I hated the hire still do!

So are we taking it as a good sign or a bad sign that there's been no news on the Archie front yet?

If Archie is canned it won't happen before the tournament is over or almost over.  If he is staying, there will be some kind of announcement of support sooner. If Archie is allowed to stay, he will be given an ultimatum.

We're paying Archie $9,000 today.  He's made $27,000 since he lost to Rutgers.  Make it stop!

We fired Crean on March 16 that year.

OK. So you're betting Archie is fired Tuesday (March 16). I think it will be in a couple of weeks, if at all.  We'll see.

Crean was fired at 12.00 noon tip of ncaa tournament. I think they are going to the process and nobody knows when he will be fired. My guess is Monday though lol

I never said I bet anything.

But it was worth noting.

I say tomorrow after they find out we don't make the NIT.

I think the timing depends on if they are trying to bury it. Isn't the NIT selection done Sunday as well? It's been 2 years since it's been done and I've drank since then.

Sooo, you are saying there is hope that we make the NIT?  That makes me feel better about this season.

Don’t you need a winning record for the NIT?

I think accepting an NIT invitation would be wrong. This team doesn't want to play. They just want to get out of the lime light and forget this season.

Normally, yes.  This is a special year.  Doesn't matter, we ain't going unless some teams decline the offer.

+1 For the A.D. reference (the background music to this homage really makes it great).
