We actually got better after he went down but I get what you're doing. 

Could you imagine how many championships the NCAA would have to hand out annually if injuries weren't part of the game?

IU would most definitely not have been NBA champions even with JBJ.

Someone has to guard the chairs. Are you thinking a gold medal?

We need more dynamic personnel. But, we're no less than a 3 seed year two if XJ isn't hurt. More than pleased with that with how poor the roster was under Archie/how bad it was when he left.  

We had a good season. First time we can say that in awhile.  

Definitely a solid season, a T2 finish in a decent Big 1.o, another semi-final appearance in the conference tourney, and a win in the first round of the tourney. We hadn't made it to back to back tourneys in 10 years. It's amazing when you really look at what IU has been the past two decades.

They were going after the media market that included a very large number of collective alumni from Big Ten universities. Rutgers was the avenue to that.

That was a mistaken play. To wit my Florida example. Lots of alumni. Didn’t need a FL university added to that media market. It was foolish to believe we needed Rutgers.  We can agree to disagree tho. 
 

Back to Ledlum, this started as me saying we’re lucky to be in the Big Ten given the state of our 2 major revenue sports in response to people blaming our recruiting woes on being part of the Big Ten.   
 

Nobody was complaining about the B1G when we landed Ware. It’ll be interesting to hear Ledlum’s post mortum on why he chose Tennessee. I bet it has to do with fit and coaching staff, like most guys, moreso than anything university or conference related.

Quality post and food for thought.

A quick list of people

- President
- Coach
- AD (I think?)
- Fans

What order would you put those in?

Probably that order

We settle for what we can get and get ready for another middle of the road season?

Even as "not like the rest of Southern Indiana" as Bloomington is... it's entirely more "hillbilly" than Knoxville.

Nah.  The average Walmart parking lot in Knoxville has more tires than teeth.

You've either not been to the outskirts of Bloomington or not to Knoxville at all.

Obviously IU has to cancel the basketball program as there is no hope.

Revisionist history.  If we don’t hire Davis after Knight, the chit show only starts that many years earlier.  Knight players leave, and the new coach has to start from scratch following a legend.  Yeah that would have been successful.   

Or.. there was this dude who is a HOF coach we probably could have gotten.

Probably?  Anyone with a brain is not going to step in to replace an IU legend with a divided fanbase.  It's was a no win situation for whomever is the coach.

Players can't enter the portal after May 11th but the portal doesn't shut down. You can still sign players after that date

Oh there was a dude. Davis 2nd year at IU.. Just happened to be Pitinos 1st year at Louisville. With any sort of effort and care to win, Indiana could have had him and been elite without any doubt. Probably even a title or two or 3. He built something great at Kentucky, even got Tubby a title with what he built.

Players can enter but coaches and player both know they want players on campus for summer workouts quickly. The number of players entering is steadily decreasing at the moment.
