IU Hoosier41

The stats: As the talks of Donovan and others escalated, someone threw out how much money we'd need to swoon a big name coach. I thought it would be interesting to compare the top salary guys and their results. The consistency of reaching the tournament of the top 9 is incredible. Also factor in many of those miss years are at the beginning of their careers. Not only do they get to the tournament, they win while they are there. There are definitely tiers within college basketball coaching. Indiana currently isn't close to being considered in that elite tier. Hopefully some movement can get us moving in the right direction.

INDIANA - 72 Purdue - 72.1 Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

80% is interesting to see nationally posted. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Donovan would load up kids in a hurry. Gotta remember Florida was a legit team when high school seniors were growing up. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

While I've never enjoyed Crean's offense, it has been highly effective. Watch some post game press conferences with other coaches to see what I mean. They hate playing Indiana's offense as it's incredibly difficult to prepare for. It's also the reason we say a bunch that Indiana is the only team that can beat Indiana. Kansas and UNC would agree with that. Luckily for the rest of our schedule Indiana has whooped Indiana. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

1. It's not Fred's way of doing things 2. Crean doesn't deserve to be fired for his performance at IU. It would have been a great ride for 95% of college ball teams out there. It's just not enough at IU. You can't fire Crean based on his recent performance over the last 5 years. You have to part ways because you don't think the future will get any better.

Would bet all of my money Crean would never be fired from Indiana. If they want him gone it will be announced as a mutual split. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Appreciate that, but I only get credit for the idea of starting the place. We've always been a community built site. Can't even begin to think of how many people have worked for BtownBanners over the years. Many many resumes feature us which is pretty damn cool. Thanks for being a member!

Here's my thing w/ Donovan. The only way I really think conversations have been had is if Donovan's agent knows he wants to return to college. At that point his agent would be having discussions with people. I don't think this Indiana job can sway a NBA coach who is enjoying his time in the NBA. Only way it happens in my opinion is if Donovan is done and wants to go back to college, then Indiana would be near the top of open jobs for him. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

For the record- glass would never make that call. He'd have his agent or someone talk to another agent about a possibility. This would be 2-3 degrees away from Indiana. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Didn't come out til much much later. Police reports all indicated Holt. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Don't think anything was unethical on Crean's part. Hanner just never developed into his potential. I'd put that more on hanner than on Crean honestly Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Why would Holt cover for her? Makes more sense Holt would cover for a player on the team who was on zero tolerance... tis the old rumor anyway Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Tom Crean's senior night? People are gonna dissect every word of his speech this year even more so than in the past Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Is this the most exciting moment of the season lol? Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

you picked one hell of a night to start posting lol.... Are you Basketball4IU's alter ego????

lol that VERY Well could be the case. Went down the rabbit hole DEEP that night.

and our Charlie Strong is named Tom Crean.

For newbies of Basketball4IU... He posted back in 2014-2015 a ton, with inside info that pretty much always came true... Alot of issues when our players were constantly getting in trouble. I know who bball is, I've reached out. Quick search for the newbies can shed some light here: https://btownbanners.com/search/?&q=basketball4iu&item=10308

Going on record as saying this is quite bizarre... Hasn't logged in since March of 2015 before tonight. Also submitted a request to change password tonight. Wouldn't look too far into this one yet. Might be having some fun with everyone..

Moved all the Billy Donovan info over to here to separate it out --->

Moved all the Billy Donovan stuff to it's own thread over here. Enjoy.

and he's back... #buckleup
