Archie was the best hire this year. Maybe the gap isn't large, but hes got a pedigree unmatched by the other hires.
That being said, success at Indiana is almost impossible. Although I agree with their fan base that Crean wasn't getting the job done, he had plenty of great teams. It was finally time for a change their but he was by no means their worst coach in recent memory. The expectations are extremely high there. Its gonna take a lot of work by Archie to sustain the kind of success expected.
While we do have pretty high expectations, theres so much apathy around our basketball teams recent performance that even making the tournament for a few years would be seen as a pretty massive accomplishment. I think BU will start to raise expectations by himself. Thats always better than having to meet some sort of requirement.
I don't agree that there is apathy toward our basketball program... football, yes but people have hope we are at the beginning of turning that corner too.
