Just look at all of the schools, including our bitter rival, that had their football team play in a bowl game and will see their men’s basketball team play in the NCAA tournament. IU will do neither. Glass has been at IU for nine years. It is unacceptable for this to be the current state of affairs.

I don’t care about soccer, baseball, or swimming and diving. Those sports don’t matter. For a school like IU to miss the NCAA tournament in six of the last ten seasons is a joke and sign of piss poor management. How do you screw up IU basketball?

Not sure.. ask Bob Knight, Mike Davis, and Kelvin Sampson.

While Billy D would have obviously been a big name hire, I don't think you can say FG choked by not hiring him. First of all, we don't even know Donovan's true interest in the job at the time. Also, it's VERY possible FG hired an absolute star in Archie. Archie, assuming all goes well--and it's hard to envision a scenario where it wouldn't, could be the coach here for 30 plus years. He's young, hungry, and if his recruiting takes off and he keeps producing results like he is with this year's untalented group he will be special. Archie is coming at the absolute perfect time IMO. The majority  of coaches at the other blue blood programs are well on the back end of their careers (Coach K, Calipari, Roy Williams, even throw Izzo in there with the mess he has on his hands), and IU just hired a guy that could lead their program for the next 30 years. Archie could seize this opportunity and bring IUBB to crazy heights while these other programs are looking for new coaches to replace their retired legendary coaches. In Archie I trust lol. 

I think Archie will be great long term.  However, it was Fred who held that press conference right after Crean was fired said he expected the next coach to win not 6, not 7, etc blah blah blah.

Was asked about Stevens and Donovan and their seasons not potentially ending for another 2 months and what impact that would have.  Then said those were just details and he'd get who he wanted, etc.  He was the one who blew all that nonsense out his @$$ right before he hired a guy from Dayton.  It's not surprising that a lot of the fan base was underwhelmed.

Does anyone seriously believe he would wait until his season is over to announce because he's afraid of people booing him at games? Maybe that is the reason, I don't know, but it just seems silly to me and I would hope a player of his caliber would have thicker skin than that.

I floated around the peegs chat for a little tonight. Rabjohns had always thought Indiana had a legit chance with Romeo but now he is hearing credible info that Indiana has done tremendous things in this recruitment. He is hearing that Tim and Romeo and the family love Archie, the way he coaches, and the way he plans to develop Romeo. Rabby says he's not ready to make any sort of prediction but..... Indiana is in a very very good spot. 

 

On a side note I didn't see any conformation or denial on if Romeo would be there Wednesday. I think its not a bad sign if he's not there being its 2 hours away from home and a 8:30 tip on a Wednesday night. I think I would more so pay attention to this Saturday and next. Vanderbilt have home games and NA does not play. Peegs mentioned to watch for those dates to see if he's there. Could be a teller.

One of those Saturdays I believe they would have sectional practice at Seymour (Not positive). That'd be the 24th
