CrimsonCast

On this episode, Dustin Dopirak of the Daily Hoosier joins us to discuss...well, you know. Dustin does a marvelous job breaking down where the Archie Miller era went wrong in granular detail, with a particular focus on recruiting issues and bad luck. We then talk about the current state of the IU job and fan base, how the national media gets it wrong, but also how the national media gets it right. We finish up with a look at some of the coaching candidates and get Dustin's opinion on some of the potential directions, including one candidate who he thinks is a non-starter.

It's been a crazy last few weeks on the IU basketball beat, with a seismic change rocking the program. Joining us on the podcast is Grace Ybarra, one of the beat writers for men's basketball at the Indiana Daily Student. We talk about the unfortunate way the season ended, the current perception of IU basketball among students, and what to expect as the coaching search unfolds.

Our IndyStar friend Zach Osterman is back to talk IU basketball. Zach deep dives into the terminus of the Archie Miller era, the perceptional issues that IU basketball faces, and the opportunity for IU to refresh (or reset) the basketball program for the future. We also chat a bit about head coaching possibilities and what IU is doing with this search.

Scott @CrimsonCast317 is joined by Tony Adragna @CoachAdragna. They discuss what went wrong in the Archie Miller era, how Scott Dolson is handling this transition process & dig into the possible coaching candidates that are being talked about.

We're back for more in-depth podcasting on the coaching interregnum at Indiana, this time featuring a rare crossover episode of CrimsonCast and Podcast on the Brink. Inside The Hall founder Alex Bozich joins us to talk about what went wrong with Archie, how the current roster looks, and what the next person in the chair for IU basketball needs to bring to the table for success. We also field some questions from the Twitterverse, and give our thoughts on the rumor circus already starting to dominate the scene.

Our friend Chronic Hoosier rejoins us on CrimsonCast --- we talk about the firing of Archie Miller, where it went wrong over the last four years, what the current state of the program and the IU basketball brand is, and what direction Indiana needs to go with the new hire.

The Big News broke on Monday late morning that IU Athletics and Scott Dolson have fired Archie Miller. Scott and Galen convene an emergency podcast to talk about the announcement, put the Archie Miller Era into some kind of context, and take your social media messages.

IU men's basketball saw their season end at the hand of Rutgers last night, so we talk about what we saw in the game, how it was emblematic of the season as a whole, and what it meant as an epitath to the year.

We then take listener questions. There were a lot of them, and they all focused on the elephant in the room. We discuss strategies that IU should take for the next few weeks, what might happen if there's a change, and what might happen if there isn't a change.

We're back to talk IU sports --- and there's a whole lot to talk about. We tackle Tom Allen's contract augmentation first, and spend a bunch of time discussing how positive of a development this is for the IU football program and the fans. Next, we chat a bit about the QB situation for IU in 2021 and whether a rotation approach make sense.

We then switch gears to basketball, as we preview both the women's team and the men's team as they head to Indianapolis for the Big Ten Tournament(s). The women have a chance at cementing a 2 seed in the NCAA Tournament, while the men are faced with an advance or disappear scenario.

Galen and Scott are back to discuss a great end to the B1G campaign and look at IU's seed line options for the NCAA Tournament............wait, none of that is true. They talk about the sad state of the current IUBB program and try to keep focused on the steps ahead.
