It makes no money. It only exist to be fair. I really don't even care if football is good. I lived without it my whole life. But basketball? That's a different story. It NEEDS to be great. There isn't an excuse in the world for it not to be. Cut the dead weight. And that dead weight is Archie. Waiting another year will only create a bloodbath for Archie. I think we agree on that. But you're missing the point where boosters don't want to give IU money to go hire Nate Oats or Thad Matta or John Beilein. Not for 10 million, yes for 3 million. As I said I talked to someone last night who said the only way they would donate a million dollars this year is if Brad Stevens or someone like that was already signed up in coming.

We've been waiting 5 years to make it back to the tournament. We've been waiting 19 years to make it back to the elite eight. IU basketball is nothing without the fans. This season has made that abundantly clear. Without fans in Assembly Hall we are no different from any other random P5 team. The administration thinks they can "wait it out" because they take the fanbase for granted. They think it isn't going anywhere. Unfortunately for them, Covid has shown people that they don't need sports. They can fill their schedules with other activities. Even before Covid, IU was having trouble filling the arena for all but the most marquee games. What do they think will happen next season with a dead in the water coach and terrible team? I understand trust me. But come on, you expect rich people to bail us out and hire a no name? I'm not investing anything into IU basketball unless a big name is available right now. That just seems like common sense, money wise. Yes sales will be down with tickets and whatnot if Archie is still here but rich people don't care. Why should they?

lillurk Posted February 25, 2021 Posted February 25, 2021 Much as I would like a change soon, surely we can agree that the increased possibility of Stevens is potentially worth not having an answer by Easter 2021

I like Archie as a person and thought he'd work here, but I'd fear for his mental health next season if fans were allowed in the building. If the boo birds were loud for Crean, I can't imagine what next year would be like. On second thought those boos might drown out Bardo next year. He's absolutely brutal when calling games.

darB s'tI Posted February 25, 2021 Posted February 25, 2021 @Chris007 Who do you consider to be at "Brad Stevens" level? Meaning - if a donor said "this is a grand slam, here's the 10M" - who are those candidates? Chris Beard, Brad Stevens...who else? JaybobHoosier and MemphisHoosier 2

The boo's will be bad. The coaching staff knows their time is limited here at IU. I feel for Hunter. Moved from UCONN all the way to Bloomington for a year or two. I hope he's renting.. I also feel for Mike Roberts. Had a pretty nice gig before and now he's at his old school about to be fired.

Someone not caring about an IU team shouldn't get them personally attacked on a message board. Plenty of other people, both men and women, share his opinion. If they didn't, the women's team's attendance wouldn't be a fraction of the men's. They just don't say it because people like you think it's grounds for personally attacking someone.

I literally said earlier in this thread I don't even pay attention to the women's team. I don't care who cares about them or not. If they weren't good, I probably wouldn't know who the coach even is.

OldBuddy67 Posted February 25, 2021 Posted February 25, 2021 I'm being naive and as George Costanza said "if I stay I get it all" but: I wonder if there is any chance Dolson and Archie come to a agreement and he resigns and IU is not responsible to pay the whole amount of the remainder of his contract. Archie has to be miserable and although coaches are competitor's I wonder if he's just ready to move on? Yes I know money and this is a pipe dream but...... Chris007 1
