First off, the bottom line is wins and losses: any coach will at a competitive level will tell you that.
I don't care if everybody loves IU's coach or if he wants to be my friend. I care if the coach is a great recruiter, great at X's and O's, a great motivator, great at preparation, and able to make proper in game adjustments. I care if the program is consistently winning at a high level. IU wasn't ok with Crean being "good" every now and again and never great. At IU, you are going to cross the point of no return if you don't win enough: this doesn't happen at PU
There is just a fundamental difference between IU and PU when it comes to standard of success: Bob Knight set our standard, Gene Keady PU's. I'll be the first to point out Archie isn't cutting it, and I don't think it is a revelation at this point. But, I also don't want Crean to come back or Painter as coach. There is something a lot better, I've seen it, and IU needs to keep looking for it until they find it.
