Yes I am hearing we aren't very good at basketball and nobody agreed on who can fix it except for one

Sounds like we’re not going to make the tournament this season.

Roster was set up nicely.  I would have to go and look but I’m guessing they have quite a few top 100 kids.   Oats has done a fantastic job.  Also shows you a little bit about what kind of coach Avery Johnson was in my opinion 

Current roster has 6 top 100 RSCI guys, and Oats landed all but one. So Miller’s second year team had one more inherited too 100 guy; he had two: Davis and Smith.

Oats isn’t leaving Alabama. Cross him off the list, imo.

Probably not. Not exactly sure where he stood on my wishlist anyway. Big appeal for having been successful at the mid-major level and the success translating, at least so far, to the power 5 level. I just love that he has the kind of personality to call out Coach K (that was him right?) and to tell Wade and the whole LSU bench to get the F out of here. Hilarious.

Yea to Fife, Enfield, Wes Miller?  
 
No to Drew?
You do want Indiana to win games, right?

Yep, but Drew is slimy. Can’t get over past comments and behavior. The whole recruiting and interviews from his church hits me really wrong. I’m absolutely fine giving anyone w character a chance.

He said he thought it would take four years. 
 

to be fair of course!

We should have never hired him then if that was his thinking going in. He inherited a fringe ncaa tourney team. No reason he shouldn’t have things humming by now

Oats said he thought it would take him 4 years is what he is saying

Archie didn’t inherit the roster Bruce Weber got from Self at Illinois but he got a perfectly normal high major coaching change situation. One year of Rob Johnson, two of Juwan Morgan, three of De’Ron Davis and Devonte Green, plus he chose to try and succeed to keep Al Durham, Justin Smith, and Clifton Moore. That’s perfectly fine and I’m soooo sick of the idea it was uniquely bad. It’s better than what Underwood got, similar to what Oats got...

Exactly, not many coaches walking into a job with a title contender so for Archie to have a fringe ncaa caliber team his first year is a pretty solid jumping off point

I get that but if it gets past the top tier guys I would absolutely give Drew a look. Dolson has been involved in college hoops long enough that he knows who to go to so that he can find out if Drew is a high character guy or just a character. 
 

Most consider the SEC to be a league where coaches regularly cut corners but most of us would be comfortable with giving Oats a look. Billy D is a Pitino disciple and yet we would welcome him. 
 

I want a guy to come in and not only win but to build a strong culture and an identity. One that bridges the past but also builds into the future. I want a coach that can be here in 10 years and over that time we had several top 4 BT finishes which should also mean we have several teams that could win it all. 
 

I think there are a lot of guys who can probably do that.  I am not sure they can all do it at IU which makes it hard to get transfers in but hopefully the next guy can.

What do you mean by "interviews from his church"?
