So something critical for me is I want a coach that has had success at a high level and won a conference tournament at least once. I would rather find a guy that’s made a sweet sixteen or 2 but managed to a conference tourney versus a guy who had one good run in the tourney. 
 

Success in conference and conference tournaments is key to getting a good seed.  Archie had the top seed 4 times in the A10 tourney and couldn’t win it.  We had a play in game against OSU and we couldn’t be bothered to show up. People might hate them but conference tourneys matter. 

I absolutely hate conference tourneys, but not winning it in 2013 pretty much sealed our date to not win a title..  that and Crean not knowing Cuse would play zone... A team he coached against in the Big East.

Crean absolutely knew they would play Zone. He just thought he was the smartest guy in the room and had  better way to combat a zone. Him and Archie have the same flaw. Always convinced their system is fine

The university is never going to hire a coach that's got a questionable history with the NCAA so you can forget about Calipari, Pearl and several others.

Fine by me

Calipari and Pearl wouldn't come to IU anyway. Same with other top coaches without a questionable history with the NCAA. The basketball program is a mess.

This is what we get from our coach.. as if he doesn't control who is on the floor.. a coach who found 28 minutes for Al Durham and 27 for Galloway.

I guess he said on his radio show we need to fix the defense. Like WTF he knows our offense is garbage right?

Would Scott Drew be considered an “other?”

No surprise. Dude is absolutely clueless as to our biggest problems.

It might be better if he didn't, because to know they would and still approach that horribly...oof

CTC put in 42 sets the week leading up to Cuse to play against the Zone. 
 

42 plays. 
 

for a 2-3 Zone. 
 

42.

He should have put in 43. Maybe that one would have worked.

Was one of the for Cody to take the 12 footer in the middle of the zone?  Basically a free throw but he drove every time he caught that.

And with his shoulder lowered like a football running back.  That memory is forever etched in my mind.

It was an absolute crime to have the shooters that team did and not design something to effectively attack a zone you 100% knew was coming. He committed 42 high crimes.

Anthony Leal should have played no less than 15-20 minutes in that game and he got 4. He is a solid defender so there is no reason to keep him out for defense and a good shooter which we desperately need. That one was a real head scratcher.
