I also know they are fairly hands off, but it's to the detriment of the school and basketball program if you don't have that in place. You can't afford to have 2 - 3 bad years every 6 years, or like Sisyphus, doomed to always be rolling the rock up the hill for eternity.

I agree 100% with Chris. If it wasn't for a couple of big shots Archie would not be the Indiana coach and the natives might even be getting restless on how far he could take the program
Archie did a great job here but archie was worried primarily about archie and what it took to get the OSU/Indiana job (or maybe others). He was smart in picking UD where he had a great fan base, great arena. He wasn't worried about class balance or anything else that a long term coach would have been worried about.
Anthony and kevin can prevent the expected bad seasons but it will take good judgement in the next several weeks
