I was surprised UGA gave Crean that, but I can understand why they did. And Crean's resume is better than AM. It’s hard to compare Crean who’s been a HC for 21 years to Archie who’s been one for 10. That being said one doesn’t stand out from the other.

I have a question and it's not necessarily just for you Pap although I'd like to get your take on it. So from an athletic standpoint IU basketball is #1 in brand recognition at Indiana and I don't think any will argue that. A vast majority of that fan base has lost belief in this staff. So wouldn't you say to not make a change at HC of the BB team(which is what that same majority wants)but then to give the football coach a raise in March when basketball is still at the front of everyone's mind is very bad timing from an optics or PR standpoint? And then by doing all of that wouldn't that be driving the wedge even deeper and causing even more animosity from the fan base? I get fans don't matter in the moment but over the course of time they do. I'm not trying to combat you Pap, I'm really not, just something I thought of after taking in the realization that a change very well may not be coming. Sent from my Pixel 3a XL using Tapatalk Two things that I was told yesterday. Tom Allen's raise was announced because it was the day before spring practice started. Also, his raise just added 80K to the monthly finances. But even though Archie buyout is over 3 years, IU has to account for the whole 10 million on the books for debt obligation. That would add $280K on the books each month. So something to think about. Not sure if it is a big deal or not. Also remember I said the money was there for the buyout if they wanted to use it. lillurk, JaybobHoosier, Class of '66 Old Fart and 5 others 7 1

IUrocker Posted March 9, 2021 Posted March 9, 2021 Let’s say Scott Drew is indeed contacting IU behind the scenes with interest in the job...is he someone Dolson would consider a serious candidate and make his job of getting rid of Archie easier knowing he’s got him on the line?

Trish Posted March 9, 2021 Posted March 9, 2021 I can't get excited about Scott Drew. Can't say I know everything about Baylor but their offense looks very NBA'ish. Yeah he gets to March Madness but he hasn't had much luck there. One more elite eight than Archie. We want another CTC with Sweet 16's and second round appearances? I don't see much potential in a Scott hire. I think he's peaked. Of course we can all say "it's better than Archie" Okay sure but we're making a full on circle with CTC level success. We need a coach with at least an ounce of potential. Jeff_Boy_Ardee 1
rcbowla Posted March 9, 2021 Posted March 9, 2021 Isn't the entire US a republic? I'm asking because I'm confused by that part of the riddle. What does one mean when they say in the republic then?Sent from my Pixel 3a XL using Tapatalk Ryno6284 and thebigweave 1 1
lillurk Posted March 9, 2021 Posted March 9, 2021 Certainly sensitive to the idea that it’s important to get the hire right, but I think you have to answer two different questions if it’s your call: 1. Is Archie the guy long-term? 2. What’s better (or worse) if you keep the status who? You can imagine a situation a la 2016 where the answer to #1 is “likely not,” but also where the answer to #2 is it would be silly to move on in the moment. However, to me things are in such a spiral, big picture, that while you want to really nail the hire and you worry about missing, there are a number of candidates who could make it work for ten or fifteen years, maybe longer, even if they don’t stay until retirement. It would be nice to have a fifteen year, “Roy Williams at Kansas” kind of run, even if you don’t get Coach K, is my point. hoosierpap and pumpfake 2
