I have now become every poster I have mocked through the years. Alcohol is really powerful.

Holy s***. Is that a riddle? Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

I have heard from too many reliable people about a mutual departure being set up for me to think it's not happening.

It's pretty amazing that IU has gone 5 full recruiting cycles ('13-'17) without recruiting a point guard.

Parrish and Norlander had a pretty extensive conversation on Friday's podcast about Crean and why NC State (or leaving IU in general) would be a smart move for him. They made a really good point in that the "damage" is done with the fanbase. There really isn't any coming back from this, it's only going to become an uglier and uglier divorce.

Steven's can't Coach defense. Look at the all star game vbg.

We all make post like that every now and then just blame it on Crean and move on.

For a minute there I thought I had gone to deep into the spongebob tonight.

And who knows how well MSB could perform as our PG if CTC only gave him a chance,

I don't have a problem with positionless basketball, but that's not really what IU is doing. What has plagued IU for the better part of three seasons (excluding the 2nd half of last year) is that we're a 3-guard lineup team masquerading as positionless basketball. Positionless basketball is typically a rim/protecting, rebounding big and a pg-ish type player surrounded by a bunch of long, athletic, multi-dimensional guys that can shoot, pass, defend, etc.. We trot out a line-up of three 6'2" guards and call that positionless. A positionless lineup would be something like RoJo-Troy Williams-Hartman-OG-Bryant.

And Robert Johnson. And Juwan Morgan. And Thomas Bryant. All guys that are PGs

Don't go!!!!

Also, our last Indiana Mr. Basketball was 2011. Maybe Crean meant closing the border was his own ability to whiff in IN.

Would love to see him on the staff,but as an assistant.Would have to think he would help recruiting instate.I dont think he has the experience to lead a program like this.I wonder why he left too but suspect it was a compatibility problem with Crean.

Great take.

I saw on Twitter some Clemson fans would love to have CTC. I would definitely be ok with that.

Im all for positionless basketball as long as it starts at the top of the food chain.After that I will reassess.

I agree. But I think the Celtics with PG would have a chance to beat them.

Sorry, that's my sarcasm. The talking heads say we are just crazy fans who don't understand what a great coach we have. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

I'm not giving up a superstar for Avery Bradley, Rozier, and a pick that you don't know how it'll end up. And we aren't getting Stevens so we can probably drop that. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

@SWiltfong247: Early favorite for Indiana's Mr. Football in Ben Davis ATH Reese Taylor has a top two of #Wisconsin and #IUFB Wisky recruiting as a CB, all others as ATH.

Best of the Midwest combine today. @SWiltfong247: Fishers (Ind.) Hamilton Southeastern DE/OLB Madison Norris is an explosive pass rusher, high on #IUFB and #NCState

Wasn't as much a personal issue as it was CC couldn't stand the **** show that was being passed off as coaching on a daily basis.

He is not ready for that type of position. Love Calbert, but he wouldn't be put into a position to succeed at this point. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

In the recent past Crean said if there's one thing he's learned in 9 years it's that everything falls on him. He didn't already know that? That might be the only thing he's learned in 9 years here, which is one more than he learned from Izzo. Granted he said that after essentially saying "it's not my fault and here's excuses x through z, but I'm not deflecting blame" so I'm not sure he's even learned that.

Ohh hahaha my bad man! With the talking heads spewing that crap it's hard to tell when someone's joking and when someone actually believes we're crazy for wanting him gone.

We had Newkirk why would we need to recruit somebody.

The trend is "positionless" basketball...said no good coaches ever!

Haven't been here since Friday afternoon and missed 26 pages. CTC is still the coach so I missed nothing Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

I will now crawl back into my lurking hole.

Dude I read that a couple of times. Sat down my beer, and had to think if I was that f***** up. Nah, it was the post. He was just trying to make me think. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Heard he couldn't get along with crean but didn't know if that was reason he left or not Sent from my XT1080 using BtownBanners mobile app

Reminder a new episode of a taste of coaching on BTN at 10. Really good show Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

It's gonna happen. To everyone worrying that Crean will be back, just relax. He's gonna be gone. Just have to be patient until the end of the season

A lot of people refer to it as Pekin Eastern because Pekin High School became Eastern High school Here is a picture of my dads class ring from 1962 it was the last class that went through Pekin High School in 1963 it became Eastern High School.

Anyone who thinks that just because there is no news of import in any given week bears in anyway on whether CTC stays is being a little impatient IMO.

so Boogie Cousins goes to the Pelicans... Does that change AD's thoughts about going to LA? If so does that change Russ's thought process? And in turn factor into Donovan's plans? Damn you Kentucky players!!!

I wouldnt want to have to deal with Cousins but wow is he a skilled big man. Kinda fun to watch at times.

Alot of excitement around Connersville this year. Grant Smith is one of the more underrated players in the state.

Was busy with other activities today... haven't been here at all... rather than read 10 pages of posts, I'll just ask... what did I miss?

He left for a promotion. He wanted to be on the bench so to speak. He was limited in his role of Director of Basketball Operations on face to face time with the boys. At St. Louis, he was an Assistant Coach. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Damn, that's legit. Who needs google when we have the knowledge of BTB?!

And the Minnesota cheerleaders. Stellar as always.

One day closer guys

If he wants to be a viable candidate for other positions he can't stop recruiting for what might happen. At this time he is still under contract as our bball coach and needs to continue to carry out that illusion.
