    Rick Bozich On Crean and Co.

          Just curious here.  Exactly what is it that you wish upon people that you are not rooting for?   Hey man... I've got to hand it to you.  You've got tremendous passion to send Crean packing.  What level in the NCAA tournament would he have to reach to win your trust and loyalty?  Loyalty the would last longer than two sentences that is (see above).  How often does he need to hit that level? :rtfm: I'm sure he really does want to please you.

    Rick Bozich On Crean and Co.

         Any solid professional with character that demands to work for an organization with the same level of integrity would not consider working for a university dismissing Crean with job he is currently doing.   The idea of firing Glass and Crean considering IU has the 2nd most wins against top 25 in the last 3.5 years is amazing.  I have no problems with the coaches you mentioned I think both are awesome; however, I appreciate what Tom Crean is in the process of putting together and the momentum of results have already began to spring up as we are sitting at 4-1 with a very small lineup due to injuries and LF transfer.

    Assuming you are officially playing the role of Fred Glass, exactly what work does Crean need to complete to keep his job even if Brad Stevens was available?  Now let's assume you are Brad Stevens.  Based on your above comment (the official AD) would you take the job? Why or Why Not?

    Miles vs Crean

     Love this^^ .    If you haven't read post #70, do so.  This will then make sense.

    Coach Jackson to Kansas

    JayhawkSlant ‏@JayhawkSlant  49m49 minutes agoOverland Park, KS There are some reports Jackson will work with more sports than football. Hearing that is incorrect #kufball   Everything has to be made out as such a negative big deal to the naysayers. Je'Ney comes to IU with a background in football and leaves IU to do the same. Thanks Je'Ney for the impact you've had on the young men at IU. Love your intensity and passion. The best to you & yours!

    Revised Season Expectations

    Agreed on the improvements mentioned Naples.  I love the genuine team chemistry as well.  I believe their appreciation for each other coupled with the aspects you've mention above will more than make up for a little size difference underneath.  Hanner and Holt are coming!

    Holt vs. Hanner

    Hanner will become more aggressive defensively to the degree Holt gains defensive game experience and shows that he is a reliable stop when he comes in for Hanner.  I feel CTC to this point would rather have Hanner in taking small steps and working on footwork as opposed to swatting shots and risking contact with the cheap body fouls.   I feel both are coming on.  I like the way Hanner is putting up a confident looking mid-range shot.  This tells me that he has had success in practice or he wouldn't have the green light during the games.  I believe he will have the game confidence in the shot soon.(No sunshine pumping here baby!)  With Holt playing in the center of the zone against Lamar, I loved the way he stepped away from the basket and shaded to the left as the ball was on left side.  The shot went up and he swung all the way back under the basket, placing a strong ?left arm into a Lamar player, came down with the rebound on the weak side of the basket and fired a nice outlet pass ahead.  I was thinking "Well Coached".   I'm excited about their development.  They will benefit one another as they make their progressions onward and upward.  The percentages of how much they play doesn't matter here.  I'm looking forward to their 'David vs Goliath' battle tonight with some big 7' dude.     Go Hoosiers!

    (2015) C Thomas Bryant to IU

    This video is a little older than the video included on page one of this thread; however, take a look starting at the 30 second mark on the youtube & watch the physical abuse he lays on his own teammate after two consecutive blocked shots.  Too funny.   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTJTWfYEbJI

    (2014) PF Emmit Holt to IU

     Hope he didn't go far.  I was just getting ready to play!

    (2014) PF Emmit Holt to IU

    I saw  Emmit up high defensively hedging on guards as a junior in high school on a youtube clip.  He seemed to execute well at the high school level.  On a scale of 1-10 where would you rate him on physically being effective at doing this against guards in the B1G?  How do Emmit, Devin, and Hanner look with help defense?  Have there been enough players on the floor at one time to form an opinion?

    First  day in his Hoosier Jersey.   My apologies.  This must have been from yesterday.

    (2014) PF Emmit Holt to IU

    I'm very excited about CTC's view of Emmit's impressive footwork.   Place a 7 plus wingspan frame on top of great footwork and you have a nice addition on both ends of the floor.  Welcome aboard Emmit.  Great kid!  Great addition! Great progressing TEAM! Go Hoosiers!    btw ... BB4iU .. really appreciate your updates.  I've been hoping that you comment further on Holt's progress and once again you've come with the goods.  Thank You Much!

    ^^^ Thanks for the video clip.  Great to see Stan executing drills with a lower center gravity.  I felt he was upright too much when dribbling last year. Nice strong finish there young man.   Twice the price ... Twice as nice!  Let's get it Hoosiers!
