Seth Greenberg can't coach either. The injury crap is silly. Ask Izzo who is piecing together a decent season after being demolished with injuries and a super young team. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners -

You want coherent, logical arguments? How about turning the ball over in right at 20% of our possessions in Crean's tenure? 1 in 5 possessions are just handed back to the other team. Only one year in 9 have we had a top 30 defense under Crean. You aren't winning a title without that. Or we have had 3 players since 2010 stay 4 years? Is that coherent enough for you? That is why there is no semblance of continuity. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app -

What stats and facts have you brought? I can bring you 9 years of stats for Crean at IU. All the stats say is he cant win a national title. Thats what we want, to win a title. He has pissed himself when he had the talent. He then had off court issues and has now missed the dance twice in 4 years. He runs players off and has brought in an extra class compared to his big ten counterparts. Even with the extra class worth of players we sit at the bottom of the Big Ten. I get you are sticking up for your relative, but if you think Crean is a national title capable coach, you are delusional. Go look up defensive efficiencies of all past champions. Then look at Crean during his time here. Then look at the constant turnover issues his teams have had year after year. See, his issues are the same no matter who is on the court, year after year. The man is a mediocre basketball coach, supported by other mediocre basketball coaches. Hell, Bo Ryan coined the phrase Tommy Naismith bc Creans ego is so big he thinks he invented basketball. He is stubborn and not willing to be challenged by his own staff. So he hires mediocre yes men as assistants. Indiana prep coaches have closed the recruiting pipeline. Not only is it in the best interest of Indiana for Crean to leave, its also in Tom Creans best interest to leave mutually. If he stays he will be fired in a year. -

Change a few words and you could say the same about Crean. He can't convince players to stay in their own backyards at a historic mecca of college basketball I N I A N A, I left out the 'd' because his teams don't play any. -

And about the recruiting....he offered 21 schollys to top 50 kids not one accepted. Our highest ranked kid is in the 80s this year. If he recruits so well we would be consistently in the top 3 of our conference. You cant take the Victors and exclude the Prillers among several other kidsl either.

Have followed for a long time but just read and hardly ever post. I've been looking for anything about CTC on any Missouri boards I could find. This was an interesting read...any of you follow any other boards with any similar discussions? http://tigerboard.com/boards/view.php?message=14599692 Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app -

If you only look at 2-3 years of his 18 year career, you would think he's a good coach. The other 15-16 are the problem. Don't fool yourself, Bob Knight was fired because he was no longer winning at an elite level; if he was still going to final fours and winning titles he wouldn't have gone anywhere. -

Define recruits well. Because having a recruiting budget larger than every other Big Ten team and getting out recruited by several doesn't seem well -

Maybe firing Crean has been his birthday wish all year so that's why he waited until today to do it. -

This team was circling the drain before the injuries really hit. That is no excuse. Look at MSU's injuries and what Izzo is doing with them. -

I know people hate Alford here, and I'm alright with that (for moral:re Iowa) but I think he would be a much better candidate than he is given credit for. UCLA is in contention to win it all this year. Will they, probably not but they will be right there. Recruiting is on fire. I don't see any reason why he'd want to leave but I wouldn't be mad with that move. I think we could get top 5 recruiting classes and be in the mix each year with him. Don't hate me all at once.

I played basketball in the snow at recess pretending I was Steve Alford (New Castle) in the early 80s. So many IU fans have a hate for him now Im kind of against it. We need to unite behind this next hire. -

Anyone who can promotes fundamentals, values the ball, teaches defense, and holds player accountable for their actions both during the game and off the court. And his contract value is based off who you find. If Donavon is an option his value is higher than Archie. It all depends. In my estimation if this talk has occurred they have a short list that have already been contacted and they know who is willing to say yes -
