Im a die hard IU fan. Watch every game. Would kill for season tickets. So it pains me to say this but Ive gotta say something because it annoys the hell out of me.
IU is not a "blue blood". IU is not a top 5 program. IU is not a top 10 program. We havent won a championship in approx. 30 years and havent done anything even close to that since 2001 or 2002. We are lucky to get a 4 star recruit and its like hitting the lottery if we get a 5 star recruit. We have a terrible coach who makes poor gameplan decisions and his style of play doesnt work. We are 0-3 on coaches for the past 20 YEARS. Even the Big Ten hasnt won a championship in almost 20 years!
I understand how it is to be a fan. I love this team. Assembly Hall is so crazy and loud and its unlike any place in the country! However, we have to be realistic! Some fans forget that 1987 was 30 years ago. The game and the world has changed so much since then. We have an identity crisis... UK had the same problem but they solved their problem and got lucky with Cal. So we need to ask ourselves if we want to keep hiring the "hot" coach that year or find a young tough brilliant coach in the waiting?
