IU now has coaching staff full of guys that want to be at Indiana. Can't say that's been the case the last few years and it's a great thing to see. 

Why do you think that?  Sure this last year was no fun but why do you think the other coaches we have had weren’t initially pretty excited to be here.

Bruiser Flint begets questions. Might have been excited but never fully embraced Indiana or maybe Archie.

Ed Schilling seemed excited maybe, but left because, who the heck knows? (Indiana ties). Was it the Keion Brooks recruitment?

Maybe Archie was the cause of these early departures (likely) but I’m not sure we ever had a feeling of them being fully bought in.

There’s no way Schilling enjoyed that offense

I hear ya. I have a 100 times less basketball knowledge as Ed and I couldn’t stand it.

This is another situation where I’d love to have a beer with Schilling and talk his experience. It might be eye opening.

I know Schillings FIL. From what I was told Ed was less than impressed with Archie. Probably should have been a warning sign of things to come.

Indeed, it was a big red flag to me.

Archie’s failure at IU will always fascinate me. How does a guy who seemed like a near perfect hire end up being such a dud. His personality, his offense, his player development. Duds all around.

Just a reminder that no matter how good you are in the minors you might not be able to scale in the pros. 
 

Archies gimmick worked against teams that were filled with players that could shoot or were great athletes. Didn’t work against players that were both

No wonder he didn't make changes, it had to look incredible in practice.

Why did he seem like a near perfect fit? All the things you described that were bad about him, has been him his entire career. He didn’t just lose his personality when he arrived in Bloomington. His teams were always poor shooters etc

Miller had issues, both personally and schematically, that contributed to his failure in Bloomington.

But, none of it was remotely gimmickry.

That may be true after a bit but initially most of this board felt we had the best staff in college Bball. I certainly like this staff but I think we tend to get too excited as fans and forget we were just as excited about the guys we now think we’re the opposite

I called BS when people were saying that 4 years ago. I did not see any validity in any of that.

This staff is off to a fast start, retaining important players and adding a ton of guys that will all be fighting for starting roles.

I feel waaaaayyyyyy more confident in this staff to get things done

I agree. Would be really interesting to do a “post-mortem” to see if we can figure out exactly what went wrong and why.

I love how they are building out the staff like a modern NBA front office/coaching staff. College sports is a business and all of IU’s moves lately have been very forward thinking. Dolson and team are killing it IMO.

Anitra House Returns to Indiana as the Assistant to the Head Coach

A relationship that began in 1976 when Mike Woodson first came to the IU campus will be rekindled as Anitra House will assume the role of Assistant to the Head Coach for the men's basketball program.  
 
A native of southern Indiana who graduated from Silver Creek High School, she earned a bachelor's degree in secondary education/social studies and a master's degree in reading. She has completed coursework for a Doctorate and has finished all but her dissertation in language education.
 
House first began her association with IU Athletics in 1974 as a tutor under Buzz Kurpius who was hired as an Assistant Football Coach for Academics in 1974-75.  She began tutoring Woodson in 1976 as he became the first person in his family to earn a college degree. She worked under Kurpius from 1974-79 as a tutor and joined the department full-time in November, 1979 as a member of the Academic Services office.
 
As their area took on more responsibilities, her role expanded and culminated with experience as a learning specialist, certifying eligibility, and athletic financial aid. She created and maintained an athletics database to facilitate eligibility, financial aid, and NCAA/Big Ten federal reporting including graduation rates.
 
She retired from her position as Director of Eligibility and Systems in 2014.
