Don’t worry—Izzo will take this in stride  ;)

Other coaches have a proven track record of success.  Izzo has been near or at the top of the Big Ten for decades.  This is apples to oranges.  

Yeah, but if you listen to Izzo Michigan St has never lost a game.  They’ve just gotten unlucky occasionally.

Same question I had here. Why is he shooting them?

He can jump though. Are they still using that line to plus him up?

But I think he just had a 22pt/17rb game.  He is a college 4 and always was a college 4.

Agreed, but apparently his dad didn't get the memo.

Can’t admit that without admitting he doesn’t fit any role in the NBA

Not being taken well by a lot of pUKe fans that he publicly threw a player under the bus.

 

John Calipari @UKCoachCalipari

We have asked Cam Fletcher to take some time and step away from the team. He needs to reflect and do some soul searching to get his priorities in order. Any attitude or actions that are detrimental to this team will not be tolerated – and that goes for everyone on the team.

Oof.  Don't see this everyday and this publicly hardly ever.  

[Stuhoo 80,942]

If you believe message boards and a retweet by Matt Jones, after apologizing to the team Fletcher was trashing Calipari later that day, and other players are feeling the same.

I think the John Calipari era is coming to an end. I wouldn't be surprised if he's done after this season.

Agreed.

When word starts to spread that a program is not a happy place, things can snowball quickly.

Wouldn’t be surprised. Just when free market recruiting is taking effect.  Crazy.  
 

I also think we will see much more of this type of stuff and the transfer rates will be bananas.

Yet another AP Poll... Yet another Indiana is not in. We are 30th in the AP. 

[Honkyman 1,670]

IU is ranked 16 in Kenpom.

Your five most recent posts--and these are during and after a solid win:

1. Yet another AP Poll... Yet another Indiana is not in. We are 30th in the AP.
2. Kinda disappointing actually.
3. Why can't Durham make smart passes? He doesn't swing when he should and swings when he shouldn't
4. Hunter needs pulled and sat for the day.
5. Missed out on 33 straight AP polls. Haven't been ranked since the week of January 14-20, 2019. During that week, we lost 51-66 to Nebraska at home and 55-70 at Purdue.

This board is for IU fans, including those who are critical of the team. However, I've seen threads on rival boards that are a holding place for anti-IU comments. We will not have a exclusively anti-IU basketball mantra being splattered all over this board.

The same about Calipari or that Fletcher should step away? I think you are saying the former, correct?

Yup—the former.

 Of course, when a team with high expectations is 1-5 and one 18 in the group starts venting, it is only natural for others to join in.
