The next coach.

Yeah except it sounds like Miller get another year no matter what. We get to do this all over next year.
Archie doesn't deserve another year. Nothing has improved in three seasons. No defense, a stagnant offense, and no in game adjustments. Archie is in over his head. I don't think another 1-3 years will help. It's time to cut ties. This is of course IU loses tonight, and is below .500 in league play. Each season I have cared a little less the last 5-6 seasons.
Alford? All he’s proven is he’s meant to be a mid-major coach. Alford is already a failed experiment at an elite program. No need to prove it again.
Wittman? He’s never been a college coach and in his 10 years as an NBA coach he had two winning seasons and both of those weren’t much over .500.
Fife? His only HC experience is IPFW.
Woodson? At least he’s managed three winning seasons in nine years as an NBA coach. Never been a D1 college coach.
Neither Wittman nor Woodson have any experience recruiting college players or building college rosters.
Only minus the few 20 win seasons and the 2 Big titles. But yeah, exactly the same.
Crean inherited Kyle Tabor...and that is it. He made the dance in year four. If things continue the way they are now, best case for Archie is year four.
I think Chris Beard is the only IU/Coach Knight influenced coach I'd want.
Not a very successful coaching tree other than Coach K.

How does today's IU attract a great coach? RMK was not a "great coach" when he was hired here. The IU of 2020 is not competitively attractive to a great coach.
Beard wouldn't come here. For all the reasons previously mentioned here he's not available. For just one reason - he's the 4th highest paid college coach in America.
If money is the reason that we aren't competitive then we should be done even pretending that we are a blue blood program. UK, UNC, Duke, Kansas and UCLA don't go cheap on their coaches. But I agree with you, we've been a joke athletically for a long time due to money and compliance.
Undisciplined play, only seem to be competitive with the middle-lower half of the league, worrying about whether or not we'll be playing in the postseason. Yeah, reminds me alot of when Crean was here. Yeah, Crean won 2 Big Ten titles in 9 years; here's how we finished the other 7: 11th, 9th, 11th, 5th, 8th, 7th, and 10th. From what Archie's teams have shown so far, we're heading the same direction.

Actually, compliance has not been an issue at IU except for Sampson. What did you have in mind?
I am pretty convinced he will be back simply cause of what you said. I fear we are stuck with him no matter how horrible the year goes
That's because Knight was a bully who wanted to be feared, so he surrounded himself with weak beta males like Mike Davis.
If the powers-that-be wanted IU to be a basketball powerhouse, then it would be. That's why it's time to face reality and move on. IU will never be what we want it to be, and what it should be, so it's time to find another school to root for.
From the guy who didn't know that teams could call a time out during free throws.
