I agree greasy, Bracey has changed his game since January rolled around. He deserves credit for being more team oriented. If he could only just shoot on the road........ ha ha
Also, I agree that barring a total meltdown from here on out, Davis will likely be back. There is still no guarantee how the new AD will see things when he sits down and reflects on the program as a whole.
I do disagree with you that Davis "at least deserves one more year." If we are back in this situation next year, the "one more chance" line of thinking will cost IU an additional $300k. If he is retained as the Head Coach, it has to be because the AD believes he is the long term answer. Of course, anything can change, but I really beliefve a decision needs to be made in the long term best interest of the program, not just giving him one more shot to see if it can be turned around.
I just feel we're seeing what a Davis team can do now. This is finally all his, and things are really looking up. I just see us doing bigger things next year. Our schedule won't be as disgusting as it was this year, and DJ having another guy to work with down low is going to be huge.
Whether or not Bracey come back, 2005-2006 is going to be the year IU really gets put back on the map.
