How’d that workout. Btw- have you seen Justin Smith at Arkansas? Court is the same size. Rim is the same height. What changed?

Our holier than thou administration fired him for making too many phone calls. He won 74% of his games at IU and had his team 22-4 and #14 in the country when he got fired. Archie Miller never coached at a P5 school. He made it past the round of 32 once at Dayton. We was one of the most well-regarded up and comers, but he was exactly that - an up and comer. I disagree strongly that Tom Crean had proven P5 success. Tom Crean made it past the round of 32 exactly once at Marquette in nine seasons. And that was due to having one of the best shooting guards to ever play the game on his team. In 5 years at Marquette after that, he missed the tournament twice, made it to the round of 64 twice, and made the round of 32 once. He won 1 conference title at Marquette and that was when they were in Conference USA. In the last three hires, we’ve hired someone with proven P5 success once. And that guy was a darn good coach and was doing an incredible job here before IU fired him for off the court reasons. So, I’d actually argue the opposite of your position. The one proven P5 guy we hired in the last three was the best coach we’ve had since Bob Knight Hiring someone who absolutely no one here would want if he wasn’t an “IU guy” makes absolutely zero sense. We aren’t hiring them to come play. We’re hiring them to be our head coach. MSU fans don’t even want Fife to be their next coach and he’s been there for a decade. Sampson brought in guys who were drug abusers and pimps so he needed to go for that reason. mamasa and T White 2 Quote

He had one shoe drop in Oklahoma and the second hit in Indiana. At some point in time, I expect a third shoe falls in Houston. T White and NVFalcons1990 2 Quote

His winning percentage is .740 and that includes his last 2 years where he could barely stand or walk. Rumor is he is healthy now after his last back surgery. I will take a coach with Indiana ties with a .740 winning % all day long! If he is fully healthy Matta would be at the top of my list jonz44, RatpigHoosier and NVFalcons1990 3 Quote

madmax Posted March 21, 2021 Posted March 21, 2021 I’m not buying any of the “Beard doesn’t want to move away from family rumors” until after the tournament is over. Very possible Dolson and Beard haven’t even formally sat down yet. Kentuckysucks and hoosierbgh 2 Quote
