I'll be surprised if Duncomb sees IU's floor again. I think he'll transfer. Unless he was hurt for a lot more of the season than was made public. When you can't play in mop up time, something is wrong. Injury or otherwise.

I agree, I think Duncomb will transfer too

This is true. My guess is that one of the Wisconsin big guys really take a jump next season. 

Historically that’s always been a good guess with Wisconsin. I will say that I don’t think Gard seems to have Bo’s magic touch in that regard. Gard was left Happ by Bo. He got the OSU kid as a transfer. Ruevers never panned out and they look a little thin there now. But it wouldn’t surprise me if you turn out to be right.

I think you're both wrong but that's just my opinion.The kid has skills and we need bigs.

He was hurt and also needed to gain strength.He can do that this off season.

[IUFAN1976]

Then why wasn’t he redshirted?  That’s what Race did to gain strength

Yes, so many people are in such a rush to write Duncomb off.

Two big stains Archie Miller left on this program (9 straight to Purdue and 8 straight to Michigan) have both been removed.

And when we get our bid to the big dance at the end of this week the third big stain will be gone.

Not to return 

[Stuhoo]

The roster is flawed, and they don’t always play up to their potential, but this group of Hoosiers did not quit on the staff.

Why would Lewis be any better of a candidate.  Fife at least has been a head coach before.

Not directing this at IU Scott, just responding in general...

Here are some reasons why some might consider Michael Lewis over Dane Fife:

- Played a full 4 years for Bob Knight, at least three of those as point guard (I believe)

- Was an assistant under Knight (unless I'm mistaken) at Texas Tech

- Was an assistant under Stevens at Butler

- Has more cumulative college coaching and recruiting experience than Fife, albeit not as a head coach

- May (I say 'may' because I don't know) have contributed significantly to Butler's and UCLA's success

So, in my personal opinion, I would tend to give an edge to Lewis over Fife, even without head coaching experience

He's probably ready to be a head coach somewhere and I think I may have preferred him over Fife as an assistant to Woodson.

Lewis never coached under Knight or for Brad Stevens.

I'm definitely not an expert but according to Lewis's bio on the UCLA site, he was a graduate assistant under Knight for two years at Texas Tech so I misread that. It was a grad asst. position not an assistant coach position.

He went to Butler as an assistant coach in 2011 and Stevens was there until 2013.

I guess I misread it. But it looks like you are correct

No sweat.

But the main point I was offering is that there may be some pretty good reasons for some to think Michael Lewis could be a better coaching candidate than Dane Fife, and, I think highly of both of them.

Well, let's see...won on the road, beat Purdue (almost twice), win a BIG10 tournament game against a team that we have lost nine straight to, plus, looks like a March Madness bid! I'd say that CMW has had a decent year.

[8bucks]

Have been doubting Woody and or the staff creation but today marked 3/4 of what I hoped for this year. Limit the games where we just suck and while gave up too many late leads we played a lot of games close. Hopefully when his guys get in that reverses. 2) beat PU. We did that and nearly got them twice. 3) have some suv was in the BT tourney. 4) get to the NCAA.

One more to go. Not sure yet we have the missing pieces coming in next year but I can feel the hope rising.

Things Archie never did...

1. Beat PU
2. Advanced 2 games in the B10T (I think this is right?)
3. Go to the Dance... (more than likely now)

 

Doubt Woody all you want, but for having 3 guys starting that never played for IU before this year, I'd say that's pretty good. Especially since our G play is all over the map

Norlander tweeted earlier that we hadn't won twice in the BTT since 2003 lol.

Did Archie beat Michigan? Not that we care AS much as PU, but...
