How irrelevant is Archie Miller to Indiana basketball? I couldn't even find a GIF of him in the library.
Hearing Micah Shrewsberry is very much in play at IU …
that seems.. underwhelming

Is it just me, or does that seem like a pretty “meh” hire and one that Illini fans shouldn’t be too concerned about?
I mean he’s an Indiana guy … He just stole the 5 star recruit that IU had to have and got him to come to Notre Dame …
He’s recruited at an elite level since he’s been at ND … Top 5 class for 2025 nationally … And is a fantastic coach …
You give Shrewsberry IU type of money to get players … He will win … A lot …
IU could do A LOT worse …
There are also some rumblings that Beard wants the IU job but he could hold out to see if a certain Big 12 coach decides to call it quits … And he would want that job even more …
Dusty feels like IU passed on him last year and maybe that’ll all get smoothed over but maybe it won’t …
you mean, after Nate Oats , Dusty May, Brad Stevens and Rick Barnes turn them down ?
is the bridge to Sean Miller burned after Archie got fired ?
Replace Hamer with Boyton or Yaklich and call it a day if we're strapped for assistant coach $$ at that point.
OA + Boyton/Yaklich + Geoff + Tyler + Kwa aint a bad staff at all and if there's a seasoned x's and o's vet who's willing to come into Kwa's spot would be even better but that migh be tough to pull a Gentry type for our 3rd/4th best AC spot.

Beard at Kansas would be an absolute juggernaut.....
Appreciate all the insights. Just always feels like Indiana wants to make a "splashier" hire than a guy with 1 winning season in 4 years as a head coach... not sure that excites that fanbase.
Also when you say that they could do ALOT worse, for some reason an image of a smiling John Groce pops in my head

I kind of hope they do hire Shrewsberry. I'd feel way better about that than Beard or May.
Clown pants booty ball incoming

Indiana isn’t as attractive of a job as some people think it is … In particular IU fans … It’s more top 15 than it is top 5 …
Beard just wants back in a top 15 job …
Just to clarify, I don’t think Qua, Hamer or Tyler are in contention for the open assistant coach position. We’re paying TA to sit at home and adjusted the others as a reward. They weren’t going to have enough available money to pay another great assistant coach. So we wait and see who BU can bring in.
Yes … But Sean will be active this cycle …
Miami … LSU is likely to open … Texas could have an opening and I think that search would come down to him & McCasland …

Odds North Carolina opens? Would there be mutual interest with Beard if there's an opening?
I'd be SHOCKED if Carolina doesn't fire Davis. It was a pretty big tell from him when he brought in a hoops GM to get things straightened out there. The boosters are not thrilled that UNC is an afterthought now, and they really hated the drubbing Duke put on them.

I respect Shrewsbury and would be happy if he stays @ ND. I think Brad is a good coach but not sure what to think regarding Shrewbury beating the drum on Illinois in 22-23 Not sure I want him back in the B1G already especially at a better program than PSU.
