And Matta, which has gotten lost in the shuffle a bit since it was announced at the same time as Woodson. If the Matta hire happened today, people’s jaws would be dropping

Totally agree.  There's going to be a ton of basketball knowledge and IQ in the hall

You should know everyone that posts on forums are total D-bags!

I am quite surprised by this move, I expected Lewis, but not Fife. Very much want him to instill his grit and intensity into his players at IU!

That’s what I get for giving them too much credit.

This is such great news. It's really nice to see (mostly) everyone in unison. It's been an exciting 10 days or so - is it November yet?

The collective basketball knowledge at IU is top flight. We won't have problems in player development and coaching. And Woodson and Fife bleed cream and crimson, relationship with players will be automatic.

What makes Fife a home run assistant hire? Asking because I truly don’t know. Other than the fact he went to IU.

Coached 10 seasons in the B1G, head coach for 6 seasons, Midwest recruiting ties, lead recruiter for Jalen Washington, he went to Indiana and was a menace on defense.

Does he have eligibility left?

Maybe Fife learned something from him though.

I’m sure he did, it was mainly a joke

You'd hope, but then again Crean didn't.

I saw him on the list of players that Dane landed (quite the list indeed). So...
