For those who say “no way,” did you get super angry & give up IU basketball from 1990-2000 when Bobby Knight had Norm Ellenberger on the IU staff?

 

A good point but 3 things I think are important to note. 
 

Norm had over a decade to learn from his mistake 

Couldn’t he called a case of nepotism 

And our lack of success that decade post 93 might mean selling your soul doesn’t always pay off

No, but it doesn't mean I was happy with Bobby's decision to hire him.  And while I'm sure I wouldn't give up IU basketball if Archie would hire his brother, I would be sorely disappointed in Archie's judgment.

Heck no. Sure he will head to the pros anyway so that he can underwhelm with the pros 

No kidding, for all the talent Sean has had still never made a FF, right?

If Sean does get let go at Arizona, my guess is he will have a show-cause penalty. I would think that would make the chances of anybody hiring him pretty remote until that expires. 

Next stop: NBA assistant?

Most likely unless they show their teeth, re: UNC, Kansas, Wichita State, LSU, among many others.

According to many national media members, ESPN and Orlando no longer hosting the  MTE's that it was supposed to. Will affect a lot of teams schedules with a month to go

[dwtaylor1055 1,524]

Indy has emerged as top early favorite to host both Champions of Classic and the Jimmy V Classic per Jon Rothstein

[IUc2016 7,121]

According to Jeff Borzello, Maui in Asheville is still on as 95% of COVID protocols have been agreed upon. Good news for IU with all going on at the ESPN MTE's

[yogisballin 2,341]

Serious rhetorical question- if Sean Miller gets fired, how would you feel if Archie hired him as assistant (again, totally rhetorical, assume IU would let him and Sean was interested)?

I would be for it honestly but I know I’m one of very few that would

I get what you are saying yogi, there is kind of a dark intrigue.  However, I think any high caliber recruit would be scrutinized on the intent of going to IU with a Sean Miller and the history behind it.  In my opinion, I would always be waiting for the shoe to drop.

Didn't expect Pac-12 to be the first of the major conferences to release a conference schedule. 20 games starting in early December and the teams rotate each week home/away. 

[WayneFleekHoosier 48,393]

Play the damn games..........ok?!?

A note on this, I actually like how the PAC-12 does the traveling universities scheduling. I’m not sure it would work for a conference like the Big Ten though.
