Totally agree and he didn't blow any sunshine up our arses. He said he'd give Archie a 6.5/10 so far, but does think he will get the job done with time which was encouraging.
Did mention that one (not all) of the contributing factors to Brooks going to UK was the continuous bs IU fans give current players. Also, how IU needs to get off this fake self-glorifying mindset of "that's not who we are" (which has nothing to do with names on the back on the jerseys). Loved what he said about IU's pay-games. How when CAM heard how much we pay for teams to come in he started laughing. How IU was in the "stone age" before CAM came here. All because of this, "That's no who we are" mentality. Seriously, helped NV get his own head out of his own arse and get back to reality. Should be required listening for anyone to stay on this board.
He also said if Calipari were to leave UK and go to Btown. He (Snow) has no doubt IU would be elite immediately!!! Let that sink in a little.
Yes he basically said IU's coaching choices were Holtmann, ARchie and Mack and that IU wasn't going to throw $7,8,9 million dollars at a Tony Bennett or some other coach.
That's the big takeaway. IU operated it's search on the cheap. Duke, UNC, Kentucky, Kansas would have broke the bank. Even Ohio State outspent IU and they are a football school.
really enjoyed that. insightful. does snow post here? i've never heard of him before
Maybe on the Premium board.......I saw a twitter back and forth and he was arguing with an IU fan about Nebraska, he said Nebraskas basketball facilities are much, much better than Indiana's. I think we are all just lost in how far behind IU is to the real world.
