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

He will be another phony if he keeps Miller for one more year. You are 100% right.

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

Having a healthy Joey Brunk and Frank lands us a few more wins.  The injury bug really has hurt Indiana the last few years. 

Race / Joey / Rob / Frank / Romeo / Hunter

I 100 % agree about Brunk and Armaan and I know you aren't making excuses, but some fans do use the injuries as a crutch. Illinois beat Michigan by 23 without their best player. Teams win all the time with injuries. That is on Archie Miller to make sure there is depth. 

[IUrocker 2,271]

On his radio show Archie mentioned the difference between this year and last is that this year the teams at the top of the Big Ten are even better, mentioning Michigan, Ohio State, Illinois, and Iowa...well heck, 3 of those 4 teams have coaches that were hired the same year and after he was hired at IU. Why can’t you be up there with them Archie? Im sick of him saying things like “well we played a tough team in Michigan, they’re ranked #2 for a reason”...I don’t want to hear that. It should be IU ranked up there right along with them and we’re not.

Yeah whether it's been unlucky injuries within the program or our strength and rehab practices.. 

I've brought it up before and It's probably nothing to even consider.. but is it time we move on from Tim Garl? 

Yeah he has his own training facility here with his name on it and everything.. there's been a common factor of injuries between Crean's teams and Archie's teams. Tim has been here for both teams. We've had several different strength coaches between Crean and Archie..so..

That’s where Archie leaving open scholarships comes into play for me. I totally get why a coach would like the flexibility that a couple open scholarships brings. But, that flexibility comes with drawbacks too. Most notably, it hurts your depth. The injury excuse doesn’t carry any weight for me because Archie has chosen not to use all his scholarships. If he had, maybe our injuries wouldn’t have been as tough on the team.

Tim won't leave at this point until Tim wants to leave. He's been the Head Men's Basketball Trainer since 1981. So he'll stick around until he decides to retire.

I find it odd that each strength coach we get doesn't seem as worried about jumping higher and running faster. Just trying to get everyone to where they can't wipe their own a$$es because their so buff. Instagram training. 

[woodenshoemanHoosierfan 6,265]

This thread is starting to remind of the last thread like this 4 yrs ago, except now it is about whether ornot he is getting fired or not. A couple of days ago most posters were on the mountain shouting he will be gone. Today I go through the thread and some are now in the depths of despair that he might still be here next year.

None of the guys have gotten that big and they've gotten more athletic. Marshall does his job. The player development on the court has been a major problem but that's not on anyone besides the coaches. The running faster and jumping higher has been happening since Marshall got to IU.

Players aren't responsible for getting better?! 

I wish I could blame poor grades on my instructors.  They just didn't provide me with the answers to all the quizzes, assignments, and tests!  They provided me with materials to learn that but that wasn't enough.  Fire them!!

This is not to take all the blame off the coaches.  They should absolutely be part of the process but let's quit with the "shifting blame from the players."  Armaan wanted and needed a better shot.  He worked his @$$ off during the pandemic downtime to make that happen.  Other players had opportunities to add to their game or develop a weakness.  What did they do?! 

I ******* hate when people do this ****.

Players do deserve a great amount of blame for this disaster as well. Robbie Hummel said it perfectly the other night. The offense gives us look, the players have to step up and knock them down.

They have access to a 24/7 basketball facility. They have student managers to rebound for them as well as shooting guns. There's really no excuse to not be able to get better on your own time.

Frank did it.

Victor Oladipo did it.

O.G. did it. 

Morgan did it.

I think he’s agreeing with you and said the blame is solely on the coaches. May have read it wrong but yeah pretty sure everybody’s on same page.

I agree with the premise here but it's also on the coach to recognize those traits in recruits and to hold players accountable. What accountability has there been for poor shooting?

Sorry to go back to this, but is it thought now that Tom Allen’s raise has nothing to do with showing signs that we could be moving on with a different coach and paying him more than what Archie is making? I know people have started to become uneasy about the possibility of coming back, but if Dolson’s thinking is give Tom Allen a raise and then go out and get a different coach which would obviously cost more than Archie’s salary, then maybe the signs are still there that a move is going to be made. I just didn’t know if anyone thinks that it’d make complete sense for Dolson to just give Tom a raise but keep Archie and IU basketball in the state that their in. A part of me wants to think, whether it’d wishful thinking, that Dolson doesn’t want to play around and is gonna pay up to get someone else in here to get things turned around...even if it may not be Brad Stevens.

Well we all thought Hunter would be a shooter coming in and he had that scary health situation. He's streaky now.

Demizi turned out to be a bust.

Leal looked promising but the other night looked really bad!

Rob is a head-case at this point.

It hasn't panned out, that's for sure. Not all recruits pan out for every coach. CTC had his many fair shares of having NON D1 players. At least we haven't seen that complete mis judgment from Archie.
