Bottom Line

[bailey777]

If archie fails to make the tourney next year he is likely a dead man walking. Year four will be a toxic enviroment and recruiting will take a big hit. He will get the fourth year but his honeymoon is over. He has to show major progress next year or imo or it gets ugly.

Ahhhhhhh — I knew the manly ultimatums were going to be locked and loaded. Lol

Half of you aren’t too bad and are just having weird emotional breakdowns here for some reason but time to put the Weather Underground on ignore until October.

Quick, someone remind us how close IU is to complete and absolute basketball OBSCURITY. Lol

I forgot 30 years of patience are needed. Well we only have 5 years left.

Yeah, if he misses the tourney next year I don’t see how he survives. Not at Indiana.

I have no inside info, but I agree. Better record, better big ten tournament performance, and ncaa bid

Many times switching assistant coaches is like re arranging deck chairs on the Titanic. It gives the appearance that the Head Coach cares and is doing something to improve the program, when in reality the move is designed to deflect pressure and criticism from the Head Coach. New assistants don't automatically correct team chemistry, make average shooters into excellent shooters, and make Basketball IQ challenged players into the second coming of Larry Bird.

It worked well for ND football. Had an awful year and fired OC and DC and since then they have went 10-3 and 12-1

Tom Ostrom needs to go. Ask fans of his former teams about him. Awful coach. So is Flint.
