I hope no one can see it, since your talking out your ass. Your new conspiracy theory is based on a disgruntled dad's tweets. This is getting comical.
This isn't difficult to figure out. The answer is Archie isn't good enough to win at IU.

I said "may" .. it means "expressing possibility" . Words have meaning, read carefully in the future..
And the second part of your post - based on what? Your expertise at watching a TV in a greasy beer stained t-shirt while growing ever fatter on your lazy boy, or did you expand your knowledge by playing EA sports NCAA on nintendo?
Syracuse made it in to the tourney last season with OEF ranked #150 but a #26 defense. Just one example but considering Cuse is known for defense, and that is the direction Archie is going, I'd say a great defense and an OK offense will do the job most years.
His offense has not been good, I actually was going to post that over the summer but figured I'd get a ton of negative posts. But still, we won't know for sure until he has healthy players with some experience that he recruited.
Be honest. Did you keep stats for your high school basketball team? There is no way you developed that profound basketball intellect by just reading kenpom.
Also, EA sports was sega. I developed my knowledge playing double dribble on nintendo. Never shoot the three straight on.

Exactly. We started out pretty hot vs Maryland and I remember posting that our starting lineup beat their starting lineup just like at Michigan. It was when we had to sub out when they made their runs.
Now it's the whole team.
I also remember you saying a while ago that when a team underperforms that drastically it's typically chemistry related.
I'm not sure Archie has ever had a team implodes like this one which again makes me 'believe' and 'feel' that it's chemistry related.
I'm also starting to wonder if it's an injured Rob followed by an injured Davis followed by a three game suspension for Green just broke the camels back. We really could use the Davis we had in December for ten minutes.
Anyway, the losing does suck but it will make this off season pretty active I would think. Wouldn't be surprised if we lost our entire junior class and two of our sophomores.
Unless it's Romeo related.
I think he's changed the offense a little, going with more flex reads. He posted Romeo a couple of times yesterday which is a flex move where you invert a backcourt dude with a frontcourt dude.
I also think he's expanded the defense a little. We're starting out further expanded than before. Instead of picking up right inside the three point line we're picking up at out outside of it.
I could be wrong.
He could be throwing shit to the wall hoping it sticks which is leading to internal frustration.
At least you're almost humorous and don't get bent out of shape.
Calling for a coach's head especially when done when losing and from people who really don't understand enough to judge a coach on TV eye test alone, is fan silliness at best and most likely just a case of butthurt.
Let the guy do his job, he has a great reputation among his peers, if he fails he'll get fired, there's no prize for bitching constantly or being the first to bitch.
If you are going to complain, and make claims like that with absolutely no reasoning or example to back it with, don't. It's nothing but a troll.
This isn't a Justin Bieber fan board where everything is like and hate and silly rationalizations pass as fact.
Critique instead, without emotion, without bias, objectively, and with whatever knowledge you have and whatever reasoning you possess.
Why is that too much to ask?
The constant bleating are just trolling and tantrums. Y'all bitch about quality of the team while exhibiting no understanding of the word in your posts.
Some IU fans are mean and nasty not all. Some think they can coach this team back to the glory years.
My post was deleted on premium board so I won’t use names here. Some people say two guards had strong argument and maybe more than argument. Players chose sides. Archie chose a side and one player lost. Who knows if anything happen but I agree with you that Archie has lost team and team chemistry shot.
That is the first potential info on the matter that I've seen here. Thanks for posting. Speculative, but a tidbit that could explain a lot potentially.
The one guy whom I think has shown the most leadership recently is Al, so I doubt he was one of the two.
Anyway, interesting post.

He’s a typical liberal thinks he’s smarter than everyone else no use arguing with him. You will never change their mind he’s infected like all liberals.
Some also think a 7 game I mean a 8 game losing streak isn’t acceptable especially when Creans longest losing streak was 11 games!!! Pathetic
The issue is a lot of your posts boil down to, agree with me, and if you don't your an idiot (I don't mind it, but I'm going to give it back to you, if I think your full shit
)As you can see, all of your paragraphs, in your second post, lead with some vague claims, backed up by no facts, and end with some sort of ad hominem attack.
This back and forth started (the first two paragraphs) because you made a rationalization that part of the issue with this team's chemistry stems from a disgruntled parents tweets (yes I know that was only part of your reasoning). Like clockwork you included your standard ad hominem attack. Stating anyone who doesn't see it is a fool. Of course the thing we are suppose to see is immeasurable and based on zero facts, but rather pure conjecture.
Now that your straw man is in place, you then proceed to shift blame from Archie and focus the blame on the players and start throwing out cliche terms, to try and absolve Archie of blame. None of us are privy to the teams chemistry or leadership and it's pure sausage when people start opining on it. Also, who gives a shit if it's the players? Archie is still responsible for the mess.
Some facts (and opinions) on why I think this dumpster fire is going to continue:
Most mid-major coaches end up getting fired when they move up to Power 5 schools. Archie had good success at Dayton, but wasn't outstanding. He only won 68% of his games, which isn't great. The school average is 60%.
The previous coach (Brian Gregory) won around 64% of his games and moved up to a Power 5 school and ended up being fire. My opinion is most people's premise, that Archie is great coach, is wrong (obviously people can/will disagree with this).
Year 1 at IU:
We were 0-8 against teams that made the NCAA tourney. We had 3 awful losses against Fort Wayne, Indiana State, and Rutgers (to end the year). We had one good win against Notre Dame. My opinion is he under performed and should have won at least two more games.
Year 2 at IU:
We currently have two really good wins against Marquette and L'ville. We have between 4-6 bad losses and are currently on a 7 game losing streak in the Big Ten. I can't point to one player who has improved, since November. I think almost everyone agrees we are a complete disaster right now and Archie is underperforming. One last sobering fact. With the lost to Rutgers, Crean, now has a better winning percentage than Archie overall and in the Big Ten.
To be clear I don't enjoy any of this. I have 3 young kids and it's difficult to squeeze in time to watch the games. I do agree you can call my fool for continuing to watch IU basketball.

Are you ok? Are you going to survive this?
Your ego has to be badly damaged after all your assurances are unraveling.
I’m starting to feel bad for you. No one deserves to be this wrong and this crushed.
There are people out there who can help you.
Tell your teacher you need to go talk to the counselor and he/she will hopefully guide you in the right direction.
Dude this is what liberals do if you don’t agree with them you are an idiot,racist,misogynistic, mouth breather, Trumptard...etc, etc.The issue is a lot of your posts boil down to, agree with me, and if you don't your an idiot (I don't mind it, but I'm going to give it back to you, if I think your full shit
