Guys these attacks that Archie wasn’t deserving of the gig are off base.  Many programs and people around the game all said that IU made a great hire.  It didn’t work out, but it doesn’t mean we have to be bitter at him. Just replace the guy and we move on.  
Amen

This should go without saying obviously, but there will be no press conference tomorrow. I’ll be able to take the lid off a bit later in the week. But will say this, anybody providing details right no

I’ve had several PM’s so wanted to drop a quick line to the broader board. Love this group and fully intend to continue to contribute to the community, Im not going anywhere. (Sorry to a few of you) B

So I couldn’t get much from him unfortunately. But, to me that’s a good thing. There’s been pretty much zero chatter, nor leaks for a month about coaches. He said it doesn’t matter that the season is

Look at other IU programs..

Football soaring (relative to the past)

Men's Soccer doing what they do (replaced a coach when he didn't sustain the winning ways)

Women's Basketball

Track/Field

Swimming

Women's Soccer is ranked

How are they able to identify coaching talent in those sports and provide what the coach needs to win but miserably fail at men's basketball?  Who is making these hires for the men's basketball program?  It's almost like they want to try but they don't.  When Archie is gone, this year or next, and they hire a solid but not great coach, who is that on?  Is that on the basketball program?  We should blame them?  Who is doing the ******* hirings and seeing that they either ******* succeed or fail?  It's on the mother ******* administration!  They can magically be good in other sports but the one ******* program that stood out as THE program somehow can't find traction.  I don't believe in coincidences.  That's a bunch of horseshit.  I'm not telling people what to think but open your ******* eyes!!  IF they wanted IU to return to glory they could make that happen.  The 4/5 coaches in 21/22 years says they're not going out of their way to accommodate a coach that could take this once badass program back to the top, where it belongs!

Baylor is building a new arena. It is going to be smaller than the current facility at around 7,000-7,500. My first reaction was that this is reflective of the interest in basketball down in Waco and while that is true from a fan size it is also important to point out that $100 million came from a single donor. 

if you are able to pull in $100 million from a single donor I suspect the school is going to be able to throw a lot of money at Drew to keep him

He is going to have to want the Indian job for more than financial reasons. 

Just a matter of time before Baylor has a lot of wins vacated and Drew gets a show cause.

His senior year when he could finally shoot the ball was good.  His first 3 years he was my least favorite player on the team.  He makes me think that if he could finally shoot it maybe Lander will eventually too

Honestly, my least favorite player of all time was Dakich.....and that had nothing to do with anything he did after he graduated.  Dude simply wasn't very good.  Still remember the game after the North Carolina game that we won (where he gets credit for 'shutting down Jordan.....Jordan scored 13 points in 26 minutes while in foul trouble') in the tournament, he got his pocket picked against Virginia in what ended being the game losing play in a 50-48 loss.

This seems like it might be about something I posted. I’m not bitter and there’s nothing personal — I think it’s even possible Archie could be successful elsewhere. Maybe he’ll be luckier, maybe he’ll learn from this, maybe it’s just a bad context.

I don’t think it’s unfair to critique the process that led to the hire AND the idea around CBB at the time that he was an obvious great coach. If we don’t recognize the error — which in my opinion overvalued connections and especially the 2014 tournament run — then we might make the same mistake again.

I believe if IU won that game they would’ve been in the Final Four.

I went and looked at their recruiting classes so see if I am missing something and those classes have been pretty low.  One 5* and I stopped looking past 2016. Take a look https://247sports.com/college/baylor/Season/2021-Basketball/Commits/

Not really the recruiting classes that would lead you to think anything shady was going on.

Even before he started having success at Baylor, he was voted in a poll of 100 D1 coaches as the dirtiest coach in D1.  I live in the Valpo area and I can tell you that there was always a lot of talk about it here when he was coaching VU and their 'incredible pipeline' to foreign players.  

Indiana already knows first hand about his tactics since he sent a text to Hanner Perea's high school coach threatening to have Perea deported if he didn't sign at Baylor.

Some notes from tonight

 

- This is the least active I’ve seen Archie on the sideline. I’ve never seen him sit down as much as I did tonight. Odd
 

- He was extremely short in the post game presser. Frustrated, nothing new for coaches after losses but notable as he’s usually more responsive.

I lived in Valpo for a few years but other than saying hey to Homer at the post office I know nothing. I have no idea if he would get a look or even wants it but his success warrants a look. The complaints about are pretty old so maybe he changed. I seem to argue for him a lot but am not locked in on him.
