I don’t believe it is unless the rule has changed, again. I believe he’d have to be an assistant.

Why would he have to be an assistant?  Because of his brother

This board is 95% sunshine pumping.  If the 5% annoys you, that's on you.

But the 5% post more than 50% of the people here. The part that annoys me is the complete obtuse view on things. Everything is looking down a tunnel, taking no care for what the reality of the situation is. Then they turn around and blast the program they love. All the while it’s year freaking 2 of the Archie era. It’s not like Crean when he had been here for 6 years, it’s year 2. We started 4 underclassmen and people wonder why we start slow, are inconsistent, lack motivation. Growing pains people. Growing pains.

Unless elston has a 5* brother coming up, give CWat his job:)

Jk, kinda

I believe if a family member of a recruit is hired by the program it has to be at the assistant level or higher (head coach) to reduce the possibility of paying a recruits family member for their commitment.

Stop it.  The 5% of people who don't pump sunshine into the situation no matter what post more than half of the rest?  Lol.  Stop it.  This board is overwhelmingly pumpers who will create optimism down their tunnel no matter what the reality of the situation is.  

If you can't handle an opinion that's opposite of the groupthink here, then you need thicker skin.

Lol NCAA is super serious about that lol. 

Anyway perhaps we should hire somebody maybe somebody named Tristian Crawford. Goes by his nickname Christian though

Does that hold true if the family member is a former player at that institution?

I’m sure we could figure out some not for profit church the Watfords love just like the SEC.

We can get Watford a part time job shaking hands at the IMU. Salary 250,000. He can just volunteer with the team.

I never called you annoying.  What in the world?  Your tunnel produces funny results.

My skin is plenty thick. Funny how I present facts and it usually shuts down the negative few. Then they pop back up in another thread with the same argument I shot down previously. Think of the thousands of members on this board, and only a small % actually post. So yes, the 5% do post more than 50% of all posters. 

Facts remain that we had youth, injuries, and chemistry issues.So let’s blast the coaches and talk doom and gloom because we didn’t make the 2nd weekend of the NCAA tournament. 

 We still almost made the NCAA’s in year 2. Won more games than year 1, upward trajectory. Just stacked back to back classes, upward trajectory. Found our PG for the next 3 years, upward trajectory. 

Room for improvement? Absolutely. Time to panic? Hell no. Say we lost momentum? Hell no. The foundation has been set. Experience was gained. Nothing wrong with being positive right now. If the negatives don’t like it or think they are getting shouted down, get thicker skin.

Reading between the lines is difficult on screen. I get it.

Anyway, I feel we have a better chance at Watford right now than we’ve had in a while. If we had no chance, the Watfords wouldn’t open the door for Miller and Co. Some may say it’s a courtesy given the Hoosier alumnus in the family, but they don't owe anyone that, especially Archie. If it were the same staff that had coached Christian I'd be much more concerned the visit was nothing but a courtesy. Obviously we're in consideration. When Hurt commits to Duke, we'll be even more in consideration. I don't think the Will Wade reinstatement changes things unless he wants to play for a now-exposed tool shed. Call me a sunshine pumper.

Are these facts like you claim?  Or opinions?

Not the place to argue who’s a better IU fan the pumpers of the sunshine or burn it down people. Take it to another thread and leave this about Watford please

Nothing wrong with that second part.  I agree with it.  I don't think you're seeing my point at all.

Come to IU T Wat!

Hurt cancelled his Kansas and Kentucky in-home visit today. Probably going to duke. I don’t see Trendon going there if that’s the case

Really good fit for his game imo. He will be a fun one to watch next year. Once he gets in his weight training program I think his game really goes to the next level. For Watford it feels like Memphis, but more of an opening than in prior months.
