Let me begin by stating right out of the gate, I love Rob Phinisee. He has been a great representative of Indiana University during his time in Bloomington. Has he produced on the floor the way we hoped he would? Probably not, but I guarantee nobody feels that way more than Rob himself.
I think the frustration that fans have felt with Rob is because he just hasn’t shown the improvement from season to season that we expect.
