I have a gut feeling that Roberts is going to be retained. Fife talked like he would be working with Roberts and since we've not heard otherwise by now I think that's a safe assumption.
Fife said he was sleeping on Roberts' couch this week.
I did see that comment from Brown in Rick Bozich's column. That comment along with Dane Fife telling Dakich that he would sleep on Mike Roberts' couch leads me to believe Roberts will be retained.
I'm surprised CMW hasn't brought anyone on his list to Coach. I think it is obvious that Thad, Dane and Hunter where all IU Athletic Director decisions that Coach Woodson obviously agreed with but none of those 3 people were someone that he had jotted down before he came to Bloomington. Roberts is an IU guy and it would be tough to kick him off the staff but that would make all coaches people he did not bring in. I like having Fife and Roberts so I am not saying anything negative about that but to me Fife was brought over to be a possible replacement when CMW retires, Hunter was retained to keep the current players from transferring, and Roberts will be retained so they wont piss off an ex player. Is it possible to add a fourth assistant?
I would personally feel bad if MR didn't come back. I thought he showed passion on the bench and seemed the most interested in actually "coaching" guys. Maybe that's my IU bias, but I always thought Bruiser looked disengaged and not supportive of CAM... which maybe was warranted, but obviously you've got to be a "team guy". Roberts had a steady gig at UNCG and seemd well-respected, so I think he'd have been in line for that HC job or to follow Wes Miller when he ultimately moves. I understand it's part of the business, but I hope CMW did seriously consider him, and I'd be fine if he was retained if CMW feels he can help us.
Think that was sort of a 'tongue in cheek" reamrk as he was traveling with his family and his dogs. Or not - could park them all in a hotel and get right to work.
No. Three assistant coaches. You can have other staff, but there are strict limits in their direct involvement with the players and recruiting.
I'll feel bad for Roberts if he is ultimately let go. I agree with you on Roberts seeming to be the only coach on Archie's bench who displayed the type of emotion you see in guys who are hungry to win.
That was to come down and house hunt. He said they would go back while the girls finished school and he'd be a bachelor for a while.
Didnt Roberts get in a shouting match with Archie? I say keep and bonus!
I don't think Miller was very good at taking suggestions from his assistants during games which makes me believe he had that same attitude during practice. He just seems like one of those people that always thinks his way is the best and no suggestions from anyone else is necessary.
This guy?

Yasir Rosemond - Assistant Coach - Men's Basketball Coaches - Seattle University
Yasir Rosemond, a former player and assistant coach at the University of Oregon, enters his second season as an assistant coach with the Seattle University men's
Lewis is happy at UCLA according to his brother Brian. Why would he leave in a lateral move to IU? Some people don't let emotions drive their decisions.
Yeah. I’m sure CMW is just being told who to hire that can help him run HIS basketball team the way HE intends. His extensive playing and coaching experience at the highest levels show he doesn’t know WTF he is doing. Good call dude. You’re a genius!

I think I'd ask Keith Smart and/or Calbert Cheaney first......, but......, I know zip about that young Seattle coach so maybe he's a diamond in the rough... (like Brad Stevens in his 1st year at Butler [few knew his name to start with either]...).
I'm not too worried about our 3rd Assistant hire... With the cumulative knowledge (and contacts) of Mike Woodson, Thad Matta, and Larry Brown I think we'll end up with the right fit for that spot...
Would love to have Mike Lewis come home but that seems pretty unlikely...
That is the guy, except you missed that he was at Georgia 2014-2017, and currently at Alabama 2018-2020. This "young" coach has 16 years experience!This guy?

Since 2011, AJ has been a "Master Coach of Basketball" at a place called Sports Academy in California. It sounds like he does a lot of personal training and one-on-one instruction with high school players. He was also involved at Oaks Christian as a coach for a year or two, but that's it.
True, but as far as I could tell he was very successful in the limited coaching he did and in his development of players at the academy.
Well..., you made it a little tough on me (and google 😉) when you misspelled his first name and all I found was what I originally linked (his Seattle bio)...
Here's his Alabama bio...., which illuminates things considerably...:
**That's Weird! When I link his Alabama bio and then post it it switches from his to Avery Johnson!!! **
Here's a version that might stick:
Yasir Rosemond, Assistant Coach (BK), Indiana Hoosiers

Is he already here???
Do you have "inside"info or is this just someone you think would be a good fit?
That bio reads like a good hire... Why would he/did he leave Alabama??
The final question: was he the lone holdover from the previous staff that got to stay and work with Oats or did he get rifted along with everyone else??

It is my understanding that he was cleared of any wrongdoing. NCAA has given him a clean bill of health.
Maybe we could make a strong ass offer to Will Wade. Maybe get Person on some sort of work release arrangement. Have we considered Book?
I agree. I am not against another IU guy, but this hire should be for needed skill set.
What was he charged with - nothing! That means he was cleared of any wrong doing. NCAA has also given him a clean bill of health.
