Butler is #11, we are unranked- do something different

[demunn]

Plenty of coaching changes yet Butler continues to win and we can't even get into the tourney?

What has happened to the expectations at the university level? Move on from Miller right now and send a message. Let Glass leave early and get someone into the AD role that will hire actual Big Ten caliber coaches. We haven't had a competent AD since Ralph Floyd.

I'm not sure IU could win the MAC in football or basketball right now.

And our best player wouldn’t even b playing for them (Brunk) best I mean hardest working.

Maybe we could get the coach from "Penis State", I'll bet he could inject some swagger into our program

Myles Brand lowered them. He also brought in McRobbie, who never knew, experienced, or cared about IU's basketball history. It's pretty much that simple.

He brought in McRobbie to run the IT department in the mid 90’s. He had no idea McRobbie would become President. Besides, McRobbie has never indicated that he was against athletics.

Butler has shooters and plays tough, physical defense.

Hate to say it, but Butler's been the best Bball program in the state for quite awhile now.

IU would be a pariah in the college coaching community if they fired a coach less than 2.5 years into his tenure with an 11-3 record. It would be a program killer that would take years to recover from.

Bullshit, that 11-3 record is really like 2-2 and everybody knows it, guess what too? There will be another extended losing streak in conference play that makes it far more palatable for everyone to move on.

It would kill the program to fire him at this point. That FSU win is a very good one too.

Let the season play out.
2 bad Conference losses so far.
If that turns into 12 loses in 13 games like last season, then something is seriously wrong.

 

[victorbear]

Imagine this board if IU hires a coach with a 11-24 record like Butler did, but that’s what good ADs do, they recognize good coaching and don’t do what the so called experts at ESPN think!!!

 

[victorbear]

Did Butler have some bullshit coaching search or did AD just make the call? Yes Bulk that’s a question.

With a normal non cupcake preseason we would have 9 wins at most
