Will give Glass credit that he expanded the pool from the Bill Lynch era, but Indiana has lost several key coordinators and assistant coaches to other programs. Not saying efforts haven't improved but I still don't think IU is pot-committed.

Will give Glass credit that he expanded the pool from the Bill Lynch era, but Indiana has lost several key coordinators and assistant coaches to other programs. Not saying efforts haven't improved but I still don't think IU is pot-committed.
Glass’s 11 years:
Basketball:
0 Elite 8 appearances or further
4 NCAA tournaments...FOUR
Football:
0 winning seasons
2 bowl games
What the hell do you not understand?
You are correct. I disagree about his teams overachieving because I think they were underachieving teams. I include the Sweet 16 team in that.
Poor choice of words on my part. Can't come up with one that describes a team that does very well but falls short of the very best. That team didn't under-achieve particularly... but they didn't know how to deal with a facking zone, that's for damn sure. Not gonna lay that on the kids.
It's on Crean and that's why I think he underachieved. I couldn't stand for the lack of defense and turnovers most. It was not the kind of ball I like to watch.
Of course, we will never forgive Coach Tom Crean the loss to Syracuse when we all expected the sixth banner out of that team, but I’m curious as to what do people think would redeem him: a national championship with Georgia, or is he forever tainted with losses?
One benefit, and there weren’t many, of having Crean for nine years was that we were able to see what he was capable of with the resources of a top tier basketball program. Georgia is going to be a tough four years and out for him.
Crean is on a better trajectory than Archie.
Crean is full of hope and optimism for a struggling program w a strong recruiting class.
Archie is losing favor and recruits because of two low performance seasons...and has lost the ‘new coach turnaround’ momentum.
My guess is Crean will be coaching at Georgia after Archie is finished coaching at IU.
I couldn’t disagree more with your statement and reasoning. We know what Crean can do, which was my original point. Unfortunately for him, “hope and optimism” only gets you so far with people. Archie has landed two Indiana Mr. Basketball’s with his first two full recruiting classes without hope or optimism.
Hey! Let’s bet on whether Crean or Miller remain as head coaches for a longer period. I got $50 on Miller. We do the payout with Venmo so the worst thing you have to worry about in terms of your anonymity is an email address. We on?
I’d take that bet
If Archie wins 3 you win the bet. If he wins 2 or less, I win the bet.My email is on this site all the time on the ticket forum (it has been for almost a month until this week) and some of the other sports teams forums.
I often give away soccer, volleyball, and women’s basketball tickets.
I also often sell a football game or two that I cant make for a very fair price.
And occasionally I’ll sell a basketball game as well...which Ive been more willing to than Id hoped over the last two years.
I have no interest in betting $50 on that - but I’d buy you a beer at a football game if you are correct that Archie is coaching at IU still after Crean is finished coaching at Georgia.
How much do you want to bet on this one?I’d take that bet

What the hell do you not understand?
Why don't you jump in on it then, feepaw, if you are SO sure? Grow a pair and show how sure you are.
Who said I don't think it?
That's 1 more bowl game and 2 more Sweet Sixteens than the previous 11 years before that
And somehow that’s good enough.
Glass was hired only 6 years after our basketball team was in the title game. He’s completely run basketball in the ground. Possibly the worst AD in the country in terms of football and basketball program success.
BWAA HAA HAA HAA HAA
Crean just led Georgia to one of it's worst seasons in the past twenty years...worse than any season Fox had, and that was with being given a first round draft pick in Claxton along with another high four star point guard in Crump.
Now he brings in 4 wings and that's supposed to be some source of optimism?
Again, Edwards will be another one year 18 year old Merc and like Romeo will be gone.
Archie missed the tournament by one game and now has flipped his roster to almost a full stock of four stars...at multiple positions.
Crean will be lucky to make it to the second round of the SEC tournament...the only tourney he'll probably play next March.
The stupidity on the free board is entertaining but the takes are still stupid.
I would love for Glass to be fired terrible AD. Archie after this season will probably be fired after we go four straight seasons, not in the tournament.
Anyone who thinks Miller is getting fired after this season, barring a Crean like 3 win-last place conference finish needs their straight jacket adjusted.
There is no Brad Stevens 30 miles up the road in waiting to be picked like there was for Crean...and we still didn't fire Crean after a year three where he won 3 conference games and finished last (and I was feepawing for it at the time).
I have a standing offer for a bet on IU going to the tournament this season. You say we won’t. You willing to bet on that?
Its Georgia - a winning season is an achievement.
Their fans will love winning 50% and watching NBA talents come and play a fast paced fun offensive style of basketball.
He also has a very solid grad transfer guard to go with those highly ranked wings(I think)...
Never said that either.
But you sure have had a lot to bitch about over 22 years. You should perhaps move on and get over it.
Get over what? Get over my desire to be better? Get over my standards that are higher than Glass’s record of basketball making the tourney 36% of the time? What exactly should I get over?
You’re an emotional wreck. Always blaming the new comers for your 30 years of hurt feelz.

Or he gets it going like Knight thinks he will and you find other things in life to be douchey about...
