My 14 year old son said when Archie got fired I wish we would hire Jay Wright. I said I don’t think he’s leaving Nova. He said for the right amount of money he will. I thought good point.

There's almost no college basketball coach we couldn't get for the right price.  Ever watch American Pickers?  What's your crazy insane price?

Everybody has one.

He makes $6M already so that'd be a lot of dough

10 years/$90M might do it.

Can’t find more recent stuff but Pomeroy usually tweets updates. Shooting is better than ever, and is typically better year-over-year. https://kenpom.com/blog/the-annual-shooting-is-better-than-ever-post/

They're talking about Justin Smith on TBS like he's an NBA HOFer.

That is wild. Someone give his coach a blank check.

Please not this.

The Baylor defensive intensity is really impressive. I think it is my biggest disappointment with Archie. I thought no matter what the offense did, the defense would have us in ball games. Instead we seemed to be what every struggling shooter needed to get out of a slump.

I was expecting something really horrible but didn't see anything really bad with this. What was it like 30 seconds

Well, Baylor just scored 23 points in a half and are down 7 to a team missing their best player. Oh, and shot 2-12 from 3. .

So, we’re done with Scott Drew now, right?

Now they are on their way to the elite 8!

if only IU could play poorly and beat Villanova by double digits

They are, and with a 35 point 2nd half explosion!

Finally got caught up here, and wow did the thread take an interesting turn. I will never understand why a portion of the fan base is so incredibly obsessed with being squeaky clean. There is no such thing in college athletics. Whether it is softer admission standards to out right bag dropping, it is pervasive and everywhere. IU (Brand) caused our own cratering by following this misguided attachment to doing the right thing. We tell the NCAA to kick rocks, lawyer up and say nothing, and the program is never decimated because of KS making a couple too many phone calls. UNC is a perfect example, they clam shelled, told the NCAA to pound sand and low and behold they are still a premier program, for something far more egregious. Anyone who says they would have traded the potential success KS would have had here for the first three Crean years, and really all the years since "to do the right thing" is either lying, or living in a fantasy world that ignores what the NCAA is/cares about-- profit. Also, if you really want to believe that in 30 years of coaching RMK committed no violations beyond being verbally and physically abusive to players, I have some ocean front property in Arizona to sell. Can you imagine Ralph Floyd going to RMK at the height of his power and saying "Coach we have to self report a violation you committed."? He would have been shouted out of the building and had his life threatened. Or maybe I have no morals and care too much about winning, but all this hand wringing about potential hires' pasts just rings hollow to me.

You typed exactly how I feel. 

[woodenshoemanHoosierfan]

Yeah, me neither. And I probably should have put this in the Moser thread given that I’m just poking people’s cataclysmic overreaction over there.

This could have gone in both threads. There has been a lot of cataclysmic overreaction in both threads

The speed limit is 55 but the cops let everyone run 62. A portion of IU fans want to run 53 to be safe.

You sure
 
 

I got my info from USA today article. It said his total pay is $6M but didn't include his base salary. Guessing there are other things adding up to make it that much

Right...this is just cheesy stuff I do as a teacher.   I know it's cheesy, the students know its cheesy...but it keeps it loose.
