Congrats on graduation, I can’t imagine having had Archie for four years. My senior year was the 6-25 season with Crean but they at least played hard and some m games were still decent to attend. It’s just gotten worse each year for him and that’s got to be frustrating, I used to think seeing Davis, Sampson, Dak (int) and Crean was the lowest we could sink but this just feels worse. Cheers to better days 

Thank you! I’m in law school out of state so I didn’t have the misfortune of having Archie for my four years at IU. I got Crean’s last four years instead... Little did I know at the time that it would get even worse, lol. Two NCAA tournament appearances and a Big 10 title was living it up compared to what this year’s seniors got.

Congrats on both I have several lawyers and judges in my family I partied a little too much. Haha oh I know I thought ok Crean has us back to number 1 again in 2012 and from that point forward we’ve been inconsistent and awful. We lucked into his second title a little with our conference schedule but beating UK anytime, let alone the tourney was worth the snub of a four seed. Like you say though it’s sad to think those are now looking like the golden years. If they keep him another year I don’t think they realize how bad it would be at Assembly Hall.

After seeing this video I wonder if there is some negotiations going on this weekend. He doesn’t want to come back to that. 

No chance he comes back to that! Dolson was walking right next to him too!

My wife is a UK fan so she follows the SEC. She said "How come Alabama and Arkansas are good all of a sudden." I said that it's because they have the right coach. I'd take Oats or Musselman in a heartbeat. I think they've done a phenomenal job. I'd like to see another year or two out of them at their respective schools but still. Mussleman was in the NBA for a long time. Switched to college a few years ago. He's done well everywhere he's been.

I know I can't have my No. 1 choice (Bennett). I know my No. 2 choice is an extreme longshot (Stevens) as is No. 3 (Beard).

My No. 4 option is this -- it's pretty far-fetched, too: I'd love to see Beilein take the reigns with Fife as his sidekick for 3-4 years, with Fife then assuming control. Initially, I hated the idea of Beilein, but I'm warming to it. If indications are that he wants to coach again, I'd be willing to gamble on him, despite his age. The guy is terrific at X's an O's. 

Meanwhile, after playing for THE B1G's best and spending a handful of years under one of the B1G's best, Fife could get additional tutelage from another master. He'd still be 44 or so when taking over and his selection would assuage those who are insistent we hire an IU guy (though I am not one of them). 

The thing is -- I doubt Fife would want to wait that long to again run his own program. 

Probably a dumb idea, but what the hell -- there are plenty of other dumb ones here. LOL!

Thoughts on Oats or Musselman? I'm to the point I think I'd take them over Beilein or Matta.

Musselman coached Keith Smart & Jim Thomas in the CBA. Dude would coach anywhere. Justin Smith with 16 tonight

COVID did a number on Baylor’s defense 

 

Just something to consider if they get bounced early. Before a shutdown and perhaps the health fallout from some guys having COVID, they were killer. So maybe Drew’s available earlier...

What makes you say that. I watched on my admittingly small phone but looked like a guy just walking next to another guy. Now if you mean the crowd and those comments then I get it.
