Are you under the impression that everyone who doesn't think firing Tom Crean at this moment is the right move thinks he is an elite coach?

Wayne, I share the same concerns. And admitted earlier that I misread your original criteria which sorta altered this argument, though you did end up settling on Indiana should be IU's best 20 years.   I just think IU fans need to realize that what IU had in Knight was special. And people can think that this universities program will just flourish regardless of who the coach is, but it takes having an elite or near elite coach. IU is in a position to attract that. So I get that. But until it becomes realistic, I guess I don't get the comparisons. I'm not under the misconception that Crean is Knight or anything.

Bring us back to Bobby Knight's best 20 years? I guess I have a little more respect for Knights coaching ability

There are also a very select few elite coaches. Surely you don't think I'm arguing Crean to be a better coach than K, Self, Cal (w/ recruiting) and Izzo?   Who should we go for? I feel like this is where the argument always goes...the only one among those is Pitino, and IU didn't want him when he wanted IU. Which, ironically, you can put on Bobby Knight and the admin.

So question, and maybe playing devils advocate here, but does expecting Crean to achieve Bobby Knight like results not down play Knight? We just picked Knight's best 20 years and said that IU's coach should be doing so...

94 on does not come close to the criteria you initially mentioned. I missed that you said avg 2 wins in the tourney which made me argue that IU hadn't done that before in the tourney (and in the earlier stretch mentioned), so that was my mistake. Missing that, I thought you said year to year.

I'm looking at it on a yearly basis, and if you continue to look at the history and included 94 on it doesn't fit. 

Are you saying 72-94 meets your criteria or you're changing your criteria to 72-94?

    I mean, just based on Indiana's history that's a criteria that has never been achieved soo....maybe

What are your expectations for IU basketball, btw?

If you click details, then "visit this unsafe site" it will take you here. Not sure exactly what's going on but it's being looked into. 

Sure hope you're right  :dancing:

As certain as most of you are that Tom Crean's coaching history limits his ability to exceed his current accomplishments, I am equally certain that beating UK, and UNC will not quite any of you.    Not a disclaimer, but just calling it how I see it.

Worse defender...Eron Harris or JBJ?

Sorry, bud

My favorite post hahaha

It's not. We've talked about getting it added but, at this point, only available through desktop to my knowledge.

Since it's two hours, let's do a CHAT!!!! for this. I don't know how many will show, but would like to address the JBJ transfer stuff in there and maybe some other stuff

Agreed. They look bad

Duke got a good look

What in the actual...

Yup, he could really fill it up. I remember KJ prioritizing him. There was a ton of concern on the boards about his competition level in GA, but he could play.

Mentioned back in Jan in this thread that this may be a bit overblown. Still think it's an uphill battle but IU is in a better spot than I thought, apparently.
