I’ve been saying for years that the Indiana basketball program was a complete dumpster fire. The more I watch the Hoosiers being led by Archie Miller it’s an even bigger dumpster fire that’s about to explode into little pieces.
Last week we saw them go down in flames for the 7th time in a row against their biggest rival, the Purdue Boilermakers, in West Lafayette. Miller and assistant Bruiser Flint looked like two kids arguing over the Lego pieces in the back of Big Momma’s ’73 Caprice.
Then on Sunday they showed up and fell apart in Champaign against the Fightin’ Illini. During the final seconds of the game Miller once again shows his lack of composure as he literally bucked up to guard Aljami Durham after calling a timeout. While the kid was walking off of the floor, Miller jumped at him like he was going to fire on him. I couldn’t believe it.
Now where in American coaching is that acceptable? I’m all for getting in a kid’s butt if they make a mistake or you even cursing at the kid but bucking up like you’re ready to fight? C’mon bruh!!!
What would have happened if Durham had bucked back? I’m just sayin’. Will Miller be held accountable for his actions or will they just sweep this incident under the rug like it didn’t happen? If he’s bucking up to boyz during games what do you think he’s doing at practice?
There’s a reason why the Hoosiers are 18-11 and looking to miss the NCAA Tournament again. Miller’s got no composure and is a hot mess in Bloomington right now.
Bobby Knight got away with that type of foolishness because he was winning and the faithful couldn’t take their fan hats off long enough to see it. However, this guy isn’t even winning and he’s acting a fool.
As an IU alumnus Class of ’90 I say it’s time to start looking for someone that understands how to coach at this level because he’s going to buck up to the wrong person’s kid and get his wig split.
The only reason he didn’t get knocked out on Sunday was because they refuse to recruit heavily in the hood. That could have gone south on him very quickly if Man-Man or T-bone’s kid was walking off of the floor. Stop me when I start lyin’!
