Finish this sentence: For Indiana to have a successful season......

[Courtsensetwo]

I know you guys may not like each other, but I was wanting to know what would make Indiana a better team this year, not start a fight

You need to understand Ordfan's long history here. He single handedly drove dozens of good posters away through his abysmal personality and attacks. He is not an IU grad or fan...just an insane troll.

Says the poster who is neither an IU fan nor someone who’s ever set foot on campus. You’re a fraud, troll boy. Your google skills are impressive, though, even if we could see through your troll boy lies.

Please adhere to your sworn promise to never ever ever respond to my posts after I embarrassed you so badly a couple of years ago when you lied about attending the IU Neb game in Btown.

WE have no say as to who is permitted here.

But when they destroy the board they get banned. Ordy, no less than 25 times. Once three times in one thread. Let that sink in.

I made no such promise, troll boy. But you should promise to quit posting as an IU fan, since you aren’t and never attended the University. How would you know about attending any IU game in Bloomington since you’ve never been there? Keep googling, troll boy. No one believes anything you say since it’s obvious you’re lying.

I agree . . . the "mods" do carry a big stick. But the governing philosophy of this site, since it was created, is to place a poster on ignore if he upsets you.

 

[Squonk too]

Beard went to the Elite 8 year 2 and championship game year 3.

Bennett went to the Sweet 16 his 2nd year at WSU.

Please quit making stuff up.

I apologize for not not linking these before and thus wasting your time on cherrypicking. The record clearly shows that both coaches had to initially endure bad seasons at their current schools. Well, Coach Beard only one season.

Chris Beard has also been a journeyman coach his entire career. At the age Archie Miller reaches his first Elite 8, Beard was coaching a now defunct team in a semi-professional league. These dopes would have absolutely lost their shit if IU hired a coach whose previous coaching stops included the CBA, JUCO ranks, and Little Rock-Arkansas.

Like on the other thread - 8 of these coaches significantly improved from Year 1 to Year 2.

Beilein - Baird - Painter - Hamilton - Sampson - Wade - Altman - Williams.

Archie has managed to put together back to back tourney missing seasons, w a combined record of the worst of Creans two seasons in his final 6 years...

Archie matched four of these in year 2 improvement. Beilen took a big step back year 3. Do you fire Beilein for that in year 3?

not 4 off my list...

Oh - are you counting the several NIT victories for Archie’s growth!?!?!?
I was only counting regular season records that are all that matter...of course until you make the real tourney.


Bahahahahaha!

Bahahahahaha!

How many of those coaches had acceptable seasons for you. I do not see more than two that I would accept as acceptable seasons, meaning making the tourney. Beilein in year three- would you have fired him after that huge step back? You are just wrong, in every way. distorting facts is sad.....

Hey, better yet, list these 8 teams/coaches and list their records in year 2, and year three. Compare those year 2 records to IUs . To be fair, list the other 4 schools and how they compare years 2 and 3 to IU. Tell us which records that you wish that IU accomplished last year. Tell us why they accomplished more than IU did in year two, and why their future is better than we can expect at IU. I am waiting.....

You absolutely did. Please adhere to your promise.

No such promise has ever been made by me to you, ever. I think you’re confusing your harassment of me with your harassment of someone else. A quick check of your recent posting shows that you’ve exclusively responded to my posts while I haven’t reciprocated. In other words, this has been a one way street of you chasing me, not the opposite. Weird behavior, to say the least.

Do yourself, me and the rest of the board a favor: Either stop responding to my posts and / or put me on ignore, especially if what I say upsets you so much. No one will take issue with you if you take one of those easy and unilateral steps. But if you’re going to trail me around, as you’ve undoubtedly chosen to do, I’ll respond any time I choose, especially if you continue to be untruthful. So, the choice here is yours. I hope you’ll be wise in your decision making, though I’ll be prepared if you are not.

I knew you could be counted on to make the wrong choice, something I’m sure you do regularly in most areas of your mundane life.

You really can’t help yourself, can you? Getting in empty heads so easily usually isn’t my thing, but I may need to have some fun with this.

[82hoosier]

You just contradicted yourself dumbass. It takes a collection of high IQ players to run an efficient offense, hence the term “values possessions”. Crean’s offense was predicated on possessions and tempo, hence more turnovers/quick shots. You could afford some of those when you got 80 possessions a game. When you run an offensive system like Archie or Bennett or Beard it requires guys to not only take care of the basketball, but take smart, efficient shots. Archie has been playing with predominantly Crean era players/recruits not used to that kind of philosophy.

Like many other old farts on this board I prefer methodical to frantic.

Good to see you’re figuring out Beard didn’t lay an egg two years in a row like Archie has.

Do it. You’re nothing but bluster. You NEVER back up your assertions with data.

[fpeaugh]

I pointed out and stated quite clearly, that these are the first 3 years records of the coaches at their current teams that achieved the SWEET16 in 2019. The current successful coaches, at least half of whom needed 3 or more years to establish a solid program. Many of these are coaches that are nationally recognized at the top of their field. You just don't read well, or ignore posts that conflict with your negative agenda.

Any of those coaches take over a top 5 historic program that won 2 of the last 4 conference titles before they arrived?

And it’s absurd to give John Groce the same patience as what guys like Pearl, Barnes, etc have EARNED.

Pearl?

Pearl?

Get a clue man.

UT’s wins the 4 seasons before Pearl: 14, 15, 17, 15. Not one tournament appearance.
