Totally agree that AB's best spot is off guard. While he's been fine in a pinch, he's really not that dynamic of a ball handler.

Well, I'm an IU fan every season, but you guys know what I meant...

Thank you Ohio State!

Last thing I needed as an IU fan this season was to see Purdoh win a Big Ten title.

just curious...is the sean kline recruitment a GOOD thing or a BAD thing in regards to pat knight??? Cuz I know where it stands with me...(excuse me while I vomit!) I certainly home you were giving this as the prime example as to why IU should NOT hire him.

I've been saying that all season and I was told I was crazy...but it's pretty clear Armon has ice in his veins. He can spot up and shoot or he can break your ankle then step back and bury a 3 in your face. I don't want to lose Armon.

Armon has to step up vocally along with DJ and get this team ready to finish the season strong, although Armon's play has been speaking volumes lately. He's been money.

I have more confidence in bassett from 3 than anyone else on the team i can promise you that.

What's the school record for 3 pointers in a game? I could see Bassett breaking that with a pass first point to dribble/drive/distribute. He's a pretty damn good shooter, and really hasn't had an opportunity to shoot very much.

Re: Dan Dakich audio from Big Ten teleconference

HoosierSmitty — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 18:53:25 -0000

Assuming Holloway bolts, I hope we can find a pass first point guard. I want to see a player come in that wants to average 6-7+ assists per game. I'm tired of not having a guy that can distribute the ball on a regular basis.

I love Armon, but he's not a PG....he'd be great out there with a pass first PG, being able to bring it up as needed, but consistently.

this is his second year

Thad Matta is an amazing recruiter, who wins games. Matta landed the second best class nationally in 2006, highlighted by Greg Oden, Mike Conley and Dequan Cook. The Buckeyes made it to the NCAA title game a year later.

The Buckeyes have shined on the recruiting front since 2006, landing the No. 7 class in 2007. The Buckeyes signed the sixth best class nationally in 2008. Matta has the makings of a No. 1 class for 2010 already.

i wouldnt mind Matta at all.

why would we not want him?

How long has Grant been the head man at VCU? I try to catch their games whenever they're on, and I don't remember having seen him for much over the past season. But again, I wasn't interested in him as a head coach last year.

AND, I'm too lazy to look it up myself.

Re: Dan Dakich audio from Big Ten teleconference

BrianK — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 15:21:59 -0000

That's why I think Miller, Bennett, or Grant would be perfect. They could still get our recruits to stay, provided we don't get death sentence. But if we did get it it wouldn't discourage them as bad as an established coach. They would also likely be around awhile. By the time it came to renegatiate teh their contract for more money we would have more money since we would have great percentage of our sports debt paid off.

I like yoru list almost exactly except for Thad I dont know why I just don't want him lol

Re: Dan Dakich audio from Big Ten teleconference

BrianK — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 15:08:35 -0000

Miller and Bennett have both pulled in recruits has head coaches so far and have both gotten in top 25. Pat Knight has yet to prove that. Alford I can't see. If we say Alford's coaching record is what it is because he hasn't found the right fit we can say that about any coach. Alford except for a couple years hasn't proved to be that great of a coach to get a premier coaching job. Nobody else is beating down his door. Personally I would love to get Pat Knight. He is the only Knight "guy" I think is close to being worthy but I don't think it would be the smartest decision right now.

Re: Dan Dakich audio from Big Ten teleconference

BrianK — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 14:59:37 -0000

I like the idea of Pat KNight but I think the timing is bad. I think he needs at least a couple years to prove himself as a head coach and recruiter. He has got a team that isn't that great. They did do good and beating Texas so that looks promising. But I think he needs to show he can pull in some decent recruits and get the tech climbing the rankins some before he should get a job at IU.

Re: Dan Dakich audio from Big Ten teleconference

Tech also has 3 top players from the state of Texas coming in next year and Pat has been doing all of the off campus recruiting for a little over a year now.

I would agree with Alford, although I don't want him.....I am in my late 30's and I enjoyed IU winning, competing, and setting a standard in this state and sometimes in the country........doing things the right way. I could argue Purdue is that team now.....YUK

Alfords Iowa years suck because everyone Iowa years suck....hence. ....Lickliter......His New Mexico team I think is doing well and he had a good run in D-3 where there is no scholly's so you have to coach your ass off......

I am really not pushing for Pat Knight but I think he should be in the conversation at the least.....now after the conversation is another story.

Hopefully some of us will be on the search comittee.....
Here is my first call......Hey Thad whats up?
2nd call.....Hey Sean Miller....what you been up too....
3rd call....Brad B....how happy are you at Wright State?....
4th call......Tony Bennett.....despite the rumors you have been hearing, we love you....
5th call.....Pat...How is your dad in retirement? Good, lets cut through the bull, you know what I want.....and by the way....Myles Brand is not here anymore......
