It’s still a Crean/Miller hire — will it translate?

I would disagree with this.  
 

Hindsight being 20/20, Crean’s record was skewed by Wade.  Without Wade, we got typical Crean performance.  AM was known for D and we got better at D, but assumed his O suffered from lack of players.  This was not true.  
 

I think the key is to not assume that “better players” makes up for short comings of the prospective coach.  The competition in the BIG is better and better players just allow the coach to get the SAME results.  
 

Based on 60 mins I have watch, I like Porters results.  Question is can he recruit the better players needed to translate this to BIG?

Yeah to me Archie's biggest issue was scheme and being married to his scheme with no room for adjusting to his roster

Bob Knight and Mike Krzyzewski were mid-major guys.

Bob Knight or Coach K aren’t walking through the door. But anyway, I’m not saying a mid-major can’t work out this time. I simply have no interest in IU finding out if it can.

This tourney and the final four run look good but can anyone tell me why his record MVC record was under .500 until this year? 

Sure can!

He inherited a horrible Illinois State team and had a 4-14 conference record his first year.

He inherited a horrible Loyola team and went 1-17 in conference his first year.

*it’s gotten way better     ;)

I would be optimistic if iu hired this guy as this game so far is the most brilliant game I have seen in a while. I would be skeptical he could bring it to iu. If he did and could recruit we would be great

Does Moser have the personality for IU? I have thought that Beard suits IU really well in that department and think we need more than a ‘coach’ this time around, but someone like Tom Allen who ascends that role.
