I wonder what Archie and Scott are doing during the selection show..

What does the team as a whole do? Do they get together at all to watch this knowing their name isn’t gonna be called? Is it still interesting b/c it’s college basketball?

If he does come back it’s not because Dolson didn’t try. The trustees have not been behind this. I still think Archie won’t coach another game at IU

I’ll believe he’s back when I see it. I still can’t see him coming back. It makes no sense

If Dolson tried and trustees blocked it, then Archie should know his time is drawing near. He should get out before he is fired next off season.

Sucks that IU handcuffs its ADs from being able to do their job. It’s like the position is just there to raise money from donors while the big decisions get made by someone else. In any event, Dolson will be the guy carrying the stink on him because he’s the public face of the department.

Zero winning seasons in the bigten and collectively over the 4 year period I believe we are 10th out of 14

IU should fire him even if he offered to coach for free

We always see the videos of teams going nuts when their name is called. I've always kind of wanted to see one for a team that wasn't chosen.

Would you guess he takes a fresh start, or you think there’s a big fish that can’t be caught until late spring?

They’re probably playing Warzone right now

Interesting.  Any idea why the trustees are hesitant to make the move?  I'm assuming it's because of the buyout.  Regardless of what people think of Archie, he's a lame duck coach.  No recruit with any real options is going to want to come to this mess.

A lame duck coach and also a decision that puts recruiting on ice

If we don’t hear anything tomorrow or at least this week. He’s staying. 
 

Unless Brad comes in the summer. 

Yup, or unless he flees to “greener” pastures to avoid a chilly AH

The trustees aren't like us (well, maybe sans Buckner). We eat, sleep, and breathe IU basketball and we even seek out Internet message boards to write about it. They don't see it that way. It's just an athletic program to them. Firing a coach and spending money is more of a nuisance than something they actively want to do.
