And most likely would've been a one-and-done in the NCAA tournament.  The team wasn't exactly clicking on all cylinders then.

With all this thread has been through, Archie coming back for a 5th year just sounds so boring. I guess I just don’t see how transfers are gonna help him too much from becoming a stellar team and be so much more successful. If he couldn’t get the players he already picked to produce, then how will he get transfers he picks to produce? I can see it both ways to where 1. We actually don’t have as good of players as we think and we need some new faces, but 2. We actually do have a solid roster and a different coach would be able to get them to produce at a higher level. They say Archie’s defense takes a couple/few years to get into place and be solid, so what if he gets a bunch of new faces. How are they gonna be successful next year in his system their first go around? Our defense has actually gotten worse here lately and the players should know exactly how to make it work and they aren’t. There definitely seems to be a disconnect between Archie and the team and he doesn’t act like a coach how knows how to figure things out. People think we will lose a handful of the players we like on the team if Archie is gone, but I honestly don’t think so. I think they’d be more than willing to stay and play for a new coach. They genuinely seem to enjoy IU.

I guess I just feel worried about seeing a repeat of this year next if he returns, and even if he happens to finish top 5 in the conference once the other teams have a down year, does Archie get extended for doing better? And then what happens when the other teams reload...Archie back to finishing 10th in the league again? I want to be elite because our coach is legit and knows how to get everything out of his players...not because the rest of the conference happened to give Archie a favor by having a down year.

Worst-case scenario:

Archie comes back, a fluke finish in the B1G Top 5 next season and a win in the tourney, IU doesn’t let Archie go, then another 4 years of this. The wheels will continue to spin in neutral.

Yes, same situation as the 2015 team that lost to Wichita State.

I still think if Yogi/Zeller don't commit to Indiana in 2010 that he gets fired after the 2010-2011 season.

I'm going to guess that it will be quiet until IU loses to Rutgers on Thursday. Then there will start being more rumors and leaks coming out on Friday. Gut feeling is that Archie will not be back. 

[Bobman1 2,909]

Yet this might not even be the worst collapse in his tenure as IU head coach. That might still be when he lost 12 out of 13 in 2018-2019

Seriously impressive having two god-awful streaks like that with players like Juwan, Romeo, and TJD this year. Gotta hand that to Archie

I wonder if there is anything to the University or Dolson not coming out in support of Archie. Not like this is only coming from the fans but local and national media saying he is on the hot seat. Not coming out saying Archie is our coach or some sort of vote of confidence might be telling....or this could just be wanting it to be.

[Hoosierfan2017 22,573]

Keeping Archie next season would be a clear signal from the IU administration that they no longer are serious about basketball. It’d be as clear of a signal as you could get. That’s the bottom line.
 

Archie Miller has done nothing in his four seasons to deserve a fifth season. His results are unacceptable at a top tier program. His results would get him fired at a dozen or more programs throughout the country. If we keep him, that says all we need to know as fans.

Dolson interviewed for the AD job by saying he would keep football rolling and fix basketball. Time to live up to that.

I think there is. There has been to much heat put on Archie from articles in the national and local media to go along with upset fans and there hasn't been any support at all. That's not a good sign to me.

I think Archie Miller is a great guy. That being said he has zero business coming back to Indiana next year. None.

It only makes sense to wait until the season is over before making any decisions or announcements. I'd imagine back channels are being utilized in the meantime.

Yep. Fair or not, how he handles this situation will define his tenure as AD. Time to show us he’s the right guy for the job.

Appreciate having guys like Chris and Pap to give us more info than we could get otherwise. Kind of helps keeping speculation under control somewhat.

Thank you, I enjoy giving information that I hear, but I really have no idea what is going to happen. I just share what I hear from everyone I talk to which is a lot of different people.

I think having him healthy the whole season would have added another win, maybe two

I agree with that. 1 or 2 at most.
