Yeah, I've heard you over and over say that's the problem. Not having expectations. Or something like that...this response is the problem with IU basketball. Give em one more year he'll figure it out. Unreasonable to expect that ... nonsense. Single digit losses is not something that is unreasonable in any year. That's 5 more wins... a better coach , who can assemble a better roster and we are there.
And, I say over and over it's ridiculous to say single digit losses by year two, or we didn't do well. Not that we can't.
As long as you put other schools into 'the athletic department and basketball support or coaching sucks category, fine...
You should slam Kentucky, who didn't do single digit three of the last four years of Calipari, nor the first or second years under Pope. Or slam Ohio State who hasn't done single digit for years. Or slam UCLA who took until year three under Cronin, then after those two years, lost 17 games. And this season didn't do single digit losses. Slam Wisconsin. Although their twice in 10 years means it's expected every year I guess?
But "IT'S INDIANA!" ...
Of course we CAN get to a string of single digit loss seasons. If we do, we're back.
,
I don't give a rats ass about any other program than IU. If you do , that about figures,
if you want to continue to excuse mediocrity go for it.. it's what perpetual losers do... I for one don't tolerate it. In my companies if you were mediocre I let you go and quick. It's the complacent and trophy for everyone philosophy. I know when I smell a turd
Good to have some clarity on the admin's expectations. What a joke.Damage control.
he just endorsed a losing mentality.
You really think, for example, three straight 23-9 seasons means IU is back? Back to what, slightly above average?Of course we CAN get to a string of single digit loss seasons. If we do, we're back.
It really is stunning how far we have fallen. Knight basically got run out of town because he was putting up 22-10 records and losing in the first or second round of the NCAA. They will say its because he broke the impossible double secret probation but lets be honest if he was still making final fours they would not have fired him. Now if we went 22-10 many would be doing cartwheels. Amazing fall from grace.
I don't know, Myles Brand really had it in for RMK no matter what. He didn't want the basketball coach to be the face of the university. He possibly could not have withstood the heat though if he was still winning championships. The trustees or the governor might have overruled him.
