No because Duke wasn’t a blue blood before K. I would fire Archie if we were Wisconsin or Michigan.
Anybody calling for CAMs Head...
- Thread starter rocketo
- Start date
He shouldn’t be fired.
Last years team wasn’t well coached. This years is poorly coached, woefully so.
My biggest disappointment is that he’s wasting the one year he gets with Romeo.
If this is the offense he’s married to he might as well just leave now. It’s a joke.
And what would all of you done if Bennett had led IU as number one seed to a historic first - first 1 beat by 16?
Do the people on here forget the beatings we took in the last 5-6 of Knight's tenure???? By 50 at Minnesota, by 20 to Colorado in the 1st round, by 34 to UCONN in Alaska, by 34 to Kentucky, by 48 at Michigan, and by 20 to Pepperdine....this fan base needs to get a grip and a reality check. Has the team hit a rough stretch and lost confidence, yes; but that doesn't mean the sky is falling
Wake up man, this isn't the 80's anymore. We are not an elite program right now and never were under Crean. Archie didn't take over in 1988.
Sleep easy confident in the knowledge that we will be successful in future seasons because we are a well-coached team who plays the right way. Did you lose all hope when RMK lost to Richmond?
Crean’s loss to Syracuse was the end of him for many IU fans...
A Syracuse team that did very well that season in the tournament.
People point to Archie winning his conference twice, while dismissing Crean winning the BIG TEN and being COY.
Im not advocating for Crean - but question the dismissal of Creans accomplishments while pointing to lesser for Archie. This seems to happen frequently with most IU bb issues.
They claim - Crean sucks and cant recruit...Archie brought in Fitzner and Damezi that cant get on the court...Crean blasted...Archie gets a pass...
Oh, please. The anti-RMK brigade always trots out this crap. Do I honestly think Archie should be fired yet? No, absolutely not. But any real fan would absolutely prefer RMK’s last 5-6 years any day over the current shitshow. I don’t even know what your point is here.
Do you watch the games? Do you understand basketball? Sometimes incompetent coaches win and better coaches lose.
The point is that people who want Archie fired, because they believe that it would never happen under Knight have their head in the sand. By the way, I am not anti-Knight, I just want people to remember it wasn't all roses and wine after 93
Those last few seasons keep looking better with each passing year. A testament to RMK...
One coach had a whole bunch of equity built up and one is just a season and a half into a less than impressive tenure.
Silly comparison.
Just stop with the facts. You're making a couple sniveling children look bad. CAM will get plenty of time to recruit and play the kids he deems necessary to win. After 4-5 years we can then make the decision on his coaching prowess. Calling for his head now just shows how clueless some are coaching wise. He has not had a full compliment of players all season with injuries and even at that too many are TC hold overs not worthy of an IU scholarship. Let him get his own kids in place and then decide.
Do you not think that this team would look dramatically different if CAM had JH, JF, RT and DD at full strength and able to play????
Doherty got 3 years, and BCG was let go early because he kept getting OVWI's. You really are an open your mouth and remove all doubt that you are a fool kind of person.

Just silly.......the built-in excuse to “get his own guys.” That shit gets thrown around way too much. No accountability for a coach to develop what he’s got?
Plenty of coaches inherit teams. It happens also that many coaches develop and improve those provided to them.
Complete cop out.
You cannot get players to improve in 2 seasons? You shouldn’t be coaching.
I’m not an advocate of doom right yet, but if a year from now we go through another stretch like this with uninspired play, poor player fundamentals, and an a lackluster offense system, then change at the top will be hard to stop.
I really don’t know. Maybe.
But I do know that their absences/conditions don’t explain or excuse some of the things plaguing the team. And I’ve been voicing concern about these things long before this 4 game skid....and some people here responded by saying that I should’ve been glad we were winning.
But it was easy to tell we were going to struggle in conference play if we didn’t vastly improve some of those things. We didn’t...and so struggling we are.
Just your inability to see players have improved shows how silly your whining really is. Crying like a little biotch on here daily will not change the fact CAM will get his chance to prove you or me wrong. He was hired to build a winning program just like many others have done and he will get the time to prove he can or can't. Quit your sniveling. We know how you feel. Move on.
I was Crean’s biggest critic for 7 years, but he was better than Archie. Not even close. Crean’s teams always played hard.
Only 3 players on this team ever played a game for Tom Crean. It’s a ridiculous excuse to blame Crean for these players.
unfortunately, both nebraska and purdue played far better defense than we did. if i never see another dribble handoff it will be too soon.
Dude you have been proven wrong about Duke before since people have shown that Duke has finished in the A top 10 more than any other team starting in the 50s. Also Duke was in the championship game a couple of years before coach K got there.
After that game I went outside and shot baskets until my fingers were bleeding, but that's just me.
Coach Dunning Kruger speaks from his pedestal of pure self inflicted ignorance.
Not if you look at minutes. Only Phin and Ro are high minute guys recruited by Archie. The only arguable exception is Fitzner.
If Franklin is as good as Phinisee, and Hunter and TJD are as good as advertised, there will be a surge in Miller recruited players in the rotation next year.
It took Crean 4 combined seasons to add up more Big Ten wins as Miller has in 1.5.
And the funny thing about it, Crean got to the ideal spot with talent and experience then pissed it all away with terrible decision making in every aspect.
Geez louise, how would Fran McCaffrey do with Hulls, Watford, Zeller, Oladipo, Creek, Sheehey and Yogi all on one team? How about Chris Collins?
Smith and Durham didn’t play a single second with Crean. They’ve been with Archie since day 1.
In all fairness, Crean came in to a situation where he had 2 guys on the roster from the Sampson era and one was a walk-on. That doesn’t excuse his lousy performances after year #4 but of course it would take him longer to get wins.
This should be fun .. vbg .. hey @twenty watch this .. this dude is a complete joke.
So, tell us about "adjustments" .. using examples and some detail. Let's start with something real simple. The way we guarded the high ball screen. What went wrong and what should IU have done. And please note which plays were a player mistake vs a coaching strategy mistake..
Coach Dunning Kruger, you are now in the spotlight..........
