Everybody just looks at results when we look at coaching hires but to me the most important thing is the fit of the coach to the program. With crean and Archie we mainly looked at how they did in the tournament and thought they were good hires. Neither one of them really fit with this program and fan base. We looked at how they did in 1 tournament.

rcbowla Posted March 26, 2021 Posted March 26, 2021 Not a perfect world. From an HR perspective? You can't respond to many/any Twitter hot takes, even if they're not true, or We reached out to a representative of Holtmann's to see if he would have interest, and it does no good to litigate subtleties over Twitter.And one claim was that the 2 had agreed to a deal. The other was simply an inquiry. Pretty big differenceSent from my Pixel 3a XL using Tapatalk woodenshoemanHoosierfan 1

I just see more and more fans who probably had no clue about IU basketball before they attended IU. I just don't think those fans totally understand what IU basketball is all about or what it takes to win at IU. Today people just have knee jerk reactions and don't actually think things through before speaking. these media guys know how we are and they probably are having a lot of fun at our expense seeing the meltdown here. You are barely older than me and I grew up in Indiana as a die hard fan. The difference between the fans then and the fans now is one group was cheering for a guy that won a Championship and went to the Final Four every 4 or 5 years and the current fans are rooting for a team that goes to the tournament itself about once every 4 years. There are stories about IU fans throwing trash at the Purdue bus on the way out of town and things like that from the past. There is just a whole bunch more opportunity for the fan base to show its @$$ now. cybergates 1

Dizz Posted March 26, 2021 Posted March 26, 2021 At this point we’re either getting Oats, or it’s an IU guy. Don’t think there’s any other outcome.

Recruiting is somewhat a product of attractiveness, so that's the point. Ok well those recruits didn’t pan out so I’m glad we didn’t attract them. How does not winning a tourney game since 2014 make the job attractive? We can agree to disagree its better to just let the thread keep going instead of rehashing old points. Cheers to a better program!

Does an HR department only bring in 1 resume at a time and look at it to see if they are qualified and want to hire that one. No they keep the job open and looks at 100's of resumes and then decide who they want to bring in for an interview. So what is so different in a coaching search when you want to look at multiple coaches before bringing in the few for interviews. Some one ponied up $10MM...not to sort through resumes!

Granted I was a year old when RMK was hired, but I thought I've read that IU fans weren't initially happy because they were used to the "Hurryin Hoosiers" type of ball and RMK slowed it down with his motion offense.. but when the wins came and championships won, the man was a genius according to fans- so fit is less important than success..
