You get your chance tonight. He recruited some of these guys & would bring a similar style for a million dollar discount. Probably have another former player on staff. Hopefully coaches like he played. Wasn’t his dad a coach in Michigan too? Maybe we picked the wrong coaches kid last time.

Another good win for Drew and Baylor. Do people really think he couldn’t get us back to relevancy in the CBB world within 3 years?

I don't think he would come to IU.  He cut his own path at Baylor, been there a long time, Probably likes the weather and being in the Big XII.

His senior year when he could finally shoot the ball was good.  His first 3 years he was my least favorite player on the team.  He makes me think that if he could finally shoot it maybe Lander will eventually too

Guys these attacks that Archie wasn’t deserving of the gig are off base.  Many programs and people around the game all said that IU made a great hire.  It didn’t work out, but it doesn’t mean we have to be bitter at him. Just replace the guy and we move on.  

Amen

Look at other IU programs..

Football soaring (relative to the past)

Men's Soccer doing what they do (replaced a coach when he didn't sustain the winning ways)

Women's Basketball

Track/Field

Swimming

Women's Soccer is ranked

How are they able to identify coaching talent in those sports and provide what the coach needs to win but miserably fail at men's basketball?  Who is making these hires for the men's basketball program?  It's almost like they want to try but they don't.  When Archie is gone, this year or next, and they hire a solid but not great coach, who is that on?  Is that on the basketball program?  We should blame them?  Who is doing the ******* hirings and seeing that they either ******* succeed or fail?  It's on the mother ******* administration!  They can magically be good in other sports but the one ******* program that stood out as THE program somehow can't find traction.  I don't believe in coincidences.  That's a bunch of horseshit.  I'm not telling people what to think but open your ******* eyes!!  IF they wanted IU to return to glory they could make that happen.  The 4/5 coaches in 21/22 years says they're not going out of their way to accommodate a coach that could take this once badass program back to the top, where it belongs!

Baylor is building a new arena. It is going to be smaller than the current facility at around 7,000-7,500. My first reaction was that this is reflective of the interest in basketball down in Waco and while that is true from a fan size it is also important to point out that $100 million came from a single donor. 

if you are able to pull in $100 million from a single donor I suspect the school is going to be able to throw a lot of money at Drew to keep him

He is going to have to want the Indian job for more than financial reasons. 

Just a matter of time before Baylor has a lot of wins vacated and Drew gets a show cause.

Honestly, my least favorite player of all time was Dakich.....and that had nothing to do with anything he did after he graduated.  Dude simply wasn't very good.  Still remember the game after the North Carolina game that we won (where he gets credit for 'shutting down Jordan.....Jordan scored 13 points in 26 minutes while in foul trouble') in the tournament, he got his pocket picked against Virginia in what ended being the game losing play in a 50-48 loss.

This seems like it might be about something I posted. I’m not bitter and there’s nothing personal — I think it’s even possible Archie could be successful elsewhere. Maybe he’ll be luckier, maybe he’ll learn from this, maybe it’s just a bad context.

I don’t think it’s unfair to critique the process that led to the hire AND the idea around CBB at the time that he was an obvious great coach. If we don’t recognize the error — which in my opinion overvalued connections and especially the 2014 tournament run — then we might make the same mistake again.

Brad Stevens.. 

[Hoosierfan2017 21,291]

A visually ugly that ends in a loss because the other team wanted it more. Sums up the Archie Miller era. Two more games! Hopefully.

I believe if IU won that game they would’ve been in the Final Four.

Archie definitely looks exhausted on the sidelines...maybe the mutual parting of ways this offseason is more plausible than I thought

Just don’t know why a good coach at a good program would come here at this point. 
 

It’s a step back program these days.

Hopefully IU can get a coach to turn this around.

I went and looked at their recruiting classes so see if I am missing something and those classes have been pretty low.  One 5* and I stopped looking past 2016. Take a look https://247sports.com/college/baylor/Season/2021-Basketball/Commits/

Not really the recruiting classes that would lead you to think anything shady was going on.

To be clear, I’m trolling when I post Brad Stevens. Let me live my fantasy land online, please.
