Can anyone tell me what this means and how it relates to IU's struggles (we'll leave out the fact the most senior player has one and a half years in the system and how this affects teaching said system to young players)?

For those who truly know basketball, it mean quite a bit.

The most significant part of all of that is not being able to get better in practices with a limited roster. Having guys out prevent you from growing as a team - which is one (of many) problems this team has had.

It means we aren’t recruiting good enough freshman cause the sophomores aren’t very good at all!

When Archie took over in March 2017, we had 3 recruits taking up 2 spots we didn't have.

Archie could have told them all bye-bye. But then what? Who could he have gotten at that point that would have been better?

The man has had one recruiting class of his own making. Does he need to be better? Without question. But I've yet to see a coach take over a program with similar roster makeup that has done eons better.

The losses are actually not the thing that bothers people, if you want to be real honest here. Yes they suck and no fan likes to see the “L” week after week.

The biggest issue?

The fact that it looks like not a single soul on the team cares, hustles or holds anyone accountable, including the entire coaching staff. These guys look like extras from the set of The Walking Dead. Mind-boggling.

Collect the paycheck and go home, I guess is where the bar is set.

Boy, I called every name in the book two weeks ago when I posted this during the michigan game. There is just no desire with this team. If you are an IU basketball team, and you have desire, there is NO team from Rutgers that goes on a 22 zip run.
 
Youth is not an excuse in today's college game. Recruit well and u can win with youth. IU has one of the best freshman in the country and yet struggles to score. This roster has zero shooting and zero frontcourt.
 
You were looking for a punchline...I’ll gove it a shot...
Two freshmen, two sophomores and a senior...

#1 -...all play for an inept coach, ruining thier hopes and dreams of a big time postseason run following their preseason ranking and expectations!

#2 -...play successfully for Div1 programs all over the country...this is not that unusual, hiwever is unsuccessful at IU Bloomington headed by Archie.

#3 -...are winded and at the wrong end of a (insert points here) run, taking their (insert points here) lead and now face a (insert points here) deficit. Archie calls no time-outs!
