Our biggest mistake was letting Jared Jefferies tell us who to hire in Mike Davis or he was not coming to IU. IU was bigger than Davis (although he tried) and we should of gotten the best coach available, now like someone said, we fire CAM in 2 years and the field of good coaches goes down faster than a fat kid on a see saw.
Time to bring Sampson back!

That's not even bending the rules. Sure, it goes against some supposed unwritten agreement between coaches (I question how many actually adhere to it) but that isn't a rule.
He did break actual rules, at OK and then the same rule at IU. I don't doubt he'd be willing to break other rules. He probably has but hasn't been caught. He seems to think the rules don't apply to him.
Probably the biggest mistake was running Davis off too early, and I would admit that I wanted him gone then too. Hindsight is 20-20 though, and he was definitely more consistent and had a better appreciation for the seriousness of the job than Crean.
Jeffries was already signed and on the roster. It was the team collectively that wanted an assistant. Davis was actually second choice. John trealor was the one who turned the interim job down. The players where just trying to dictate who was coach and it kind of backfired.
Even signed if a coach leaves don’t you have a chance withdraw? Regardless a disaster from word go.
I’m not saying it’s not possible, look at last yr, but matchups play a big part. Houston could be a 4 seed and if they run into a team like Michigan state who could be 5 be a 5 with what they have lost for the year, Houston could get slaughtered. Loyola marimount got the right matchups and made the most of it. I’m just saying Houston needs the right matchups in order to advance. When you play absolutely nobody all yr and your best win includes uc, you need to step it up or it will be a short tournament for you.
first, you either need to look up houston's schedule this year, or you should look up the definition of the word "absolutely". second, go watch the houston-michigan game from last year's tournament
well, maybe Miller is better than Davis as a coach. Davis definitely had better assistants. Miller had none. Scouting and game prep are very poor. But they are both more suitable for Indiana St, not INDIANA!
Hey coach: It was in several articles published about the Sampson hiring/firing after Herbert left. Statement came from Rick Greenspan. Beilein was Greenspan's guy but Herbert wanted and got Sampson. (I have no first hand knowledge but it was pretty well reported).
Thanks,
Little OT but as much as I dislike UK, I will have to say they have improved like most teams can only wish. Could be the players, but generally it says a lot about the coach. Not a big Cal fan either, but can’t argue with wins and losses.
I only bring this up because we have the opposite affect here.
An athlete can always ask for a release from their NLI. After a coaching change, schools will typically grant the release but they're not required to.
While that is true is still could have been fixed easily after Davis and was not
Archie is no John Beilein thats my point..John turned around Richmond, West Virginia and now Michigan. Archie came to Dayton where Brian Gregory had done a very good job and left to Georgia Tech. There records at Dayton are comparable and there records at bigger schools IU and Georgia Tech are very comparable its hard for a coach to go from a mid major to a elite program..
