Makes all the sense in the world after what we've experienced for way too many years.  Being the IU guy many have clamored for puts even more pressure on Woody (and Fife) to succeed.   I would not want to be in Scott Dolson's shoes if it doesn't work.

I wasn't sure where to put it, but I have to say this: There seems to be a huge difference (improvement) in the collective enthusiasm about this hire that there was last time.  I don't know if it's because of the prospect, and reality, of getting an ex-player for assistant coach, or because of the transfer portal shenanigans, but 4 years ago it seemed like Archie was hired, had an introduction, and basically disappeared.  There was some excitement of one of the assistants, but everything seemed to go flat within a week.

I hope and see a good possibility that the on-court results will be better this time too.  Unfortunately we have to wait many moons to find out.

Yup.

To me, it's two things.

1) the Indiana ties/history

2) the combo package of all the hires, and our best guys re-committing with a higher level of excitement it seams.

 

I was optimistic about Archie, excited for a new start, but not really excited about Archie himself. I wasn't a huge fan of Crean, but I wasn't down on him like some were either. Archie just didn't seem like much of an upgrade, but I was willing to give it a chance.
