I’ll have to look that one up. Can’t remember. But I loved Pritchard… just a tough nosed kid that was a pretty good shooter. Can’t believe how close that team got.
IU has to get this hire right
- Thread starter GeorgeStrait IU
- Start date
And Mike Davis was a very good coach. But was just caught up in the “he’s not an IU guy” mentality.
Must have gotten caught up in the "he's not an UAB guy mentality" and "he's not a Detroit Mercy guy" mentality too.
Mike Davis.....he's a great human being a good assistant coach. During Danes organized threat of mutiny after RMK was fired, the administration caved and named Mike Davis interim. That was our version of a Deibler moment. He got extended went to the final game and then recruited a helluva class after Bracy. Robert Vaden was tough as nails. It was way to soon for him to be a head coach and certainly not IU for a first gig. There's not a role on the IU basketball team that should be filled by a rookie.
My buzz. Was thinking Tom Coverdale when you said Pritchard. Coverdale in my opinion was a bad ass.
Different situations with those schools. Would never be able to recruit “difference maker” players. Davis did pretty well at IU for being the new kid on the block… just too much pressure and expectations after many years with the best.
Please let me know how he was so much worse than the last couple coaches IU has had….and by the way, I think Crean was pretty good too. But just not the “standards” that we as alumni/fans expect…. Back to starting over… again
The state of the program and the product on the court can be looked at as separate situations. The contacting of agents had already began. It's no secret who wants the job. We're in good shape.
I just hope Dolson realizes which guy knows how to really coach, and gets his players to believe they are the best.
Thank you for the video. It’s crazy how bad Zeller and Olidepo played together…NOT!!!
