Fourth coach we've hired this past week, if my math is correct.

Pretty much  seems like we’re just waiting on a national guy to tweet it at this point 

[Uspshoosier]

Insiders might of not mentioned him however his name has been brought up quite frequently throughout the years in the college basketball thread as a potential candidate.

Crean had just as much if not more tournament success when we hired him excluding the fluke final four run; he atleast made the round of 32.

and that was all Pre NIL... Archie and Crean tenures end way differntly if NIL was legal then

Any actual reasons for Barnett hating IU? I’ve seen it mentioned as something everyone knows but no explanation.

Both great shooters

No you aren't allowed to have multiple people who can shoot on one team.

The Big12 is the Big Ten.

It’s really hard to explain that the Big12 has 16 teams and the Big 10 has 18 teams to my children

Copied this from ‘ Hoosier Review’ on X AND AGREE.

“ Dolson has certainly grown and evolved in his approach.  He will have his criteria, and he will get someone as close to that criteria as possible.  He knows what has failed at IU, and what is needed to succeed at the current Indiana.  The Cignetti hire will have strengthened that resolve.”

It was said he was going to do the same analysis he did for football and identify winning characteristics. I’ll believe whoever he hires will have those qualities. Andy hope they are successful.

I think Tom Crean would have been really good at Indiana with NIL and the transfer portal, too.

The Syracuse zone showed some Xs and Os weakness in Crean.

Someone tell IU he once farted in class, they'll forget he exists.

Ya, Archie gets fired in 2 years and Crean gets fired after 4

He’s got a top 25 class coming into WVU next year. Let’s poach one or two :):):)

This part nudged him ahead of McCollum for me. Shows he can recruit at this level too

Not gonna lie.  This hire doesn't excite me.  Not that DD couldn't do quite well, but my enthusiasm for IU basketball has been on a steep decline and is now hanging by a thread.  I needed more than this to rekindle the joy.  It is not rekindled.

I will casually observe what transpires and maybe change my mind, but until we look like a tough team to beat and actually fight at the top of the BT, I'm not going to be invested.

I hoped this hire would do that.  It hasn't.

Good Luck to CDD and all the true fans. After 50 plus years, I'm retired.

Well, it's not the coach's job to get the players shots, so... LOL

Crean maybe. I'm not sure that'd help Miller.
