Your hero Bob Knight sure believed in the concept of low IQ players. "If we had 3 practices a day, Charlie Miller would be the first to show up and the last to leave for all three. But the game escapes him."
"AD remains believer in job Miller's doing"

You never played basketball and that's obvious.
Of course there's low IQ players, just as there's low IQ posters like you. It just doesn't seem like it to you because you're too dumb to realize it.

We’ll find out when he's made his decision.
Did Freddy boy mention how long he expects this very serious rebuild to last?
I find it difficult to argue with Feepaw on this. His ability to recognize concepts that are "beyond ignorant and completely irrational" come from his core. He IS the expert on ignorant and completely irrational thought.
It’s ignorant to think everyone on the team was “low iq” without knowing a single thing about any of the kids. Completely asinine.
It's ignorant to think T.M.P. said that "everyone" on the team was "low iq" without reading what he actually wrote. Completely asinine.
He is low IQ. Very low. He lowers the average IQ of every room he enters, even empty rooms.
Low BB IQ, poor fundamentals, made worse by Turnover Tom's push the ball at the expense of more turnovers style of play. Ignoring turnovers is stupid basketball.
Moops and T.M.P. are the same person? Don't read slower, Feepaw... learn to read.
Morgan showed nice progression but for every Morgan, he kept 5 newkirks. Green has been the same way. One hopes he plays next year like he played the last 10 games, but it has been a process to get this far. And he’s proven himself to regress time and again. Archie’s efforts may have been better served on a player that fits his system.
I commend him for adopting them all and helping their futures by removing the crean influence from it. For that alone he gets 2-3 more years.
But if it was only about winning in year 2, he should have ditched them all.
Archie inherited one of the worst Hoosier backcourts of all time. Phinisee was miles better as a Freshman than a 5th year Senior the year before.
I replied to Moops, TMP replies to me with his ignorance trying to call me out, so I explained my original post.
This is very basic kid. I don’t know how to dumb it down for you any more.
Archie’s efforts may be better served at a mid major. I feel bad for the kids who had to sit out or play for the clown.
Not even close. Rob was a very good player and Newkirk was every bit average for the Big Ten.
What?? Rob was at best a role player who shrunk from the spotlight instead of his time to shine when it was his turn to be the man after JBJ left. Newkirk was the worst starting Hoosier PG in my lifetime. Turnover Tom's style of play could not be unlearned in a few months. A absolutely Horrible backcourt.

If Donovan becomes available you take him in a heartbeat. See ya, Archie.
Are you still in diapers?
You must not have been around for the early Crean years. The rest of us watch a young Verdell Jones for a couple years. Newkirk averaged 8 and 3. I’d take a senior Newkirk over Yogi as a freshman too.
Rob Johnson was a role player??? He was honorable mention all conference at 15 per game. Statistically one of the best shooters in IU HISTORY. And now he’s in the G League. Role player??? You must be in preschool.
Please produce a link to prove this statement.
It is hard for me to believe that he would be in the top 50-100 at IU with the shooters we have had in the past.
Why would Billy Donovan come to IU? Just so he can be railroaded out of town in 2 years like Archie? Donovan has more money than he can count, why would he come back to the college ranks and try and appease a bunch of 17-18 year olds to come play for him with enormous and unrealistic expectations put over his head? He's proven he can coach in the NBA and and somebody else will hire him where doesn't have to spend 300+ days a year recruiting high school aged kids. Same thing can be said for Brad Stevens.

We hired the wrong guy.. Four years hell look at what Chris Mack is doing at Louisville.

Year three and IU is nowhere to be found in the top 25. Meanwhile, Holtmann’s Buckeyes are ranked #12.
You were responding to T.M.P. and quoting T.M.P. As far as dumbing things down further... no, I doubt you can dumb things down further.
Newkirk was the worst IU starting PG that I ever watched in an IU uniform. There was a stretch where Robert Johnson could not throw the ball in the ocean as an upperclassman. From what I remember in big games, Robert regressed after a promising Sophomore season. What games were you watching? And both turned the ball over carelessly. Verdell was a much better overall player than Newkirk was, at least he could shoot.
He was a really good shooter. He shot 38.9% for his career from 3s. His sophomore year ( the best team he played on and when he was more of a role player..aka got more opens looks) he shot 44.7% from 3s. He is 4th all time in made 3s behind Guyton, Hulls, and Yogi. The one obvious caveat is the 3 point line didn't always exist. (For example, Alford made over 100 his senior year and shot over 50% from 3s.I assume he was the best shooter in IU history? ) I would be really surprised if there were 50 better shooters in IU history, than Robert Johnson.
Edit: If my numbers are off, look them up yourself

Holtmann was more proven at Butler, and a safer pick. Archie was perceived as having a higher upside and ceiling.
Johnson was inconsistent as the lead guard for IU his senior year. Just wasn't a role he was comfortable with. He was a great secondary or third guard with Blackmon and Yogi. He really struggled creating his own shot and that's why his 3pt% plummeted to a degree as an upperclassmen. He could score 20 one night hitting 5 or 6 the pointers but than would have an 0fer game the next (see Louisville). He was a good overall player for IU no doubt, just had his limitations and you saw that as a lead guard.
Steve Alford, Jay Edwards, Pat Graham, Greg Graham, Randy Wittman, Ted Kitchel, Tom Coverdale, Kyle Hornsby, Brian Evans, AJ Guyton, Damon Bailey, James Blackmon Jr. to name a few.He was a really good shooter.
