    [quote name="indianato" post="49338" timestamp="1395093352"]My thoughts too. I know people are unhappy. I understand. They vent because they care. However, every thread can't be a ventfest. I'm surprised there wasn't crean bashing on the beer thread.

    Jeez, there sure is a lot of negativity on here. Just trying to make people see the big picture and be a little more positive. Even if people were wanting a new coach, why would they want to come to a fan base that wants them gone after a disappointing year. Plus it could draw some players away along with future commits. You never know, it could be exactly the same as Crean's first 3 years and I bet no one wants that. Just remember, it could be worse, we could be Purdue.

    [quote name="Rayl" post="49288" timestamp="1395087026"]Troy doesn't know if he would have learned more from a different coach. This tweet is pretty meaningless. It's great that he likes his coach. I hope our administration is smart enough not to listen to the players concerning coaching changes. Hopefully, we've learned that lesson.[/quote] The point wasn't that he could've learn more with someone else, it's that he learned a lot from CTC. And I agree that the players shouldn't be in the decision, even if it causes some to leave. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

    [quote name="IU Hoosier41" post="49279" timestamp="1395086421"]Let's just hope Troy has the passion and fire some of our previous players had and he works his butt off this offseason and develops a jumper. If he can add that to his game... WATCH OUT. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners[/quote] Totally agree. After watching his first couple games I've said that if he's willing to put the work in, he could possibly be just as good or better than Oladipo. Just look at how much he improved over the course of this season. Depending on how long he stays, he'll be a real asset to our program. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

    Do you or have you played the Pickems'?

    Played every game for football but missed two for basketball. Really hurt me in the standings. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app
  10. [quote name="Hoosierfan1990" post="42352" timestamp="1393519906"]So far all we have scheduled for next year (according to ITH at least) is Louisville in MSG and Butler at BLF. Of course, we know we will get a home game in the B1G/ACC Challenge. I hope you're right about the tougher schedule, but Crean loves him some cupcakes. I guess I just have to see it to believe it. We need to avoid the sub 250 schools (or as I call them RPI killers). They give no benefit.[/quote] Crean also said there would be one more team that we know of that he's scheduling that's a big name school. No matter what it's hard to get worse than this years.

  11. Also we're supposed to have a solid non-conference schedule so the freshman won't be as shocked getting into Big Ten play. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

    Noah stays or goes?

    He should stay, I don't think he's developed enough to go to the NBA. In most games he'll have a good start but then disappear. IMO I think Zeller could've stayed one more year (what a blessing that would've been) but money talks. I say 75% chance he leaves. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

    Tourney Chances?

    Although at this point it's very unlikely and chances are falling quickly, what do you think they'll have to do to make the tournament? I think they'll probably have to win out and pick up a few in the Big Ten tourney. Having four out of the next six being ranked could help tremendously but two of those are away. At the most I'd say we only have enough room for error for one loss which I think mostly likely happens at Wisconsin. If that happens I say we have to win at least two in the Big Ten tourney. Or they could just win the Big Ten tourney just to play it safe

    TOM CREAN FIRED

    Definitely not on it. I won't be suggesting anything until next year. If we only get to the sweet sixteen again next year then I'll consider. This is really his first bad year considering the talent he has currently. I'll admit that he's not the best coach and some of his rotations are very questionable but I don't think people realize how challenging it will be to just pick up someone better than him. And also you can't blame all of the losses on him. Some blame has to go on the players, not all of it, but some. It's very challenging to coach a team as young as this.

    Biggest Loss from Last season

    [quote name="dalton26" post="35607" timestamp="1391655202"]Just curious how do you know Williams doesn't have the same work ethic? Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app[/quote] If you follow him on Instagram/Twitter then he's usually doing everything but practicing when he didn't have to. One of the biggest factors about the value of Oladipo was his work ethic and I don't think Williams is close to it. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

    Biggest Loss from Last season

    I take Hulls, we have sort of (not really that close...yet) replaced Victor with Troy but he doesn't have close to the same work ethic. Missing the 3 ball with Hulls and I think his leadership could persuade other players to work as much as he does which is needed with a young team. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

    Looks like new helmets!

    [attachment=363:ImageUploadedByBtownBanners1391462634.453099.jpg] Here's a look at some more of them. I like the black with the white Indiana and the all silver chrome ones.

    Thoughts on Crowd Booing CTC/ Players?

    Also take into account the lineup had two possessions before the booing occurred, so it wasn't as if they booed immediately as the lineup came in. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

    Jeff Howard

    At some points I think he plays the best defense out of all of the players on the floor. Doesn't offer much offensively but he hustles and doesn't make many mistakes. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

    What are your feelings on Coach Crean?

    I think these next two years will probably be his best chances to raise another banner. I'm not even considering saying for him to be fired...right now. If we can't at least get a final four in these next two years then I'd start considering it. He'll have a vast amount of talent and great shooters, something we're missing this year. Too early to consider it and finding a new coach isn't as easy as people say. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

    Starting 5?

    I wish we could take Hollowell out and replace with Evan but we almost have to stay the same. The front court would be too small with Evan in. I'm not a huge fan of Hollowell. He has a lot of potential but he isn't using it and he acts like he never cares about anything. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app
