Well that's that. Next topic

Remember when SSQ switched and agreed that Crean had to go. It was like evilshortspacequickness took over then he/she was back to supporting Crean fully. I too have a hard time not thinking they weren't closely connected to TC. Especially during all the JC not happy and BHS booing his son hoopla SSQ said they could care less if he ever won another game at IU.

Are you saying Cook Hall is not a quality facility?

It can only be hearsay. Kravitz and a few others have stated that Izzo contacted Kravitz about helping him as a middle man. Cal reportedly did the same with Brian Evans. Not sure why any of them would say, I really wanted the Indiana job even after the fact to a reporter. Once it is known a guy is considering other jobs beyond the one he had now recruiting becomes harder. Do I know it for fact that those guys had interest. No. However, I believe it possible enough and have a harder time believing no one wanted this job besides Crean.

Those guys were not claiming interest after the fact but were lobbying during the search for consideration.

Winthrop to WSU was an advancement. Read the cbs article inked above. While reading the first half I thought ok no way he is coming. Then I read the bottom part saying when he goes to a big conference he is waiting for a top program in that conference so he can compete on level ground. Hmmm

Why?

At first I thought your response "done" was in response to the OPs question.

I am pretty sure it is the last one of this year. As for the rest, time will tell

I get it when those pop up in other threads but when you go clicking on threads with "coaching change" in the title you might just expect to find comments about a coaching change.

No NIT at assembly hall this year due to construction. @KentSterling: If IU goes to NIT, construction at Assembly Hall will keep IU from hosting NIT game, which saves embarrassment of 2005-esque apathy.

Most agree. We only disagree on the best way to consistently put a team together.

I think we are in and would not be surprised to make a little run.

Didn't we play good bit of zone in the second half? It might have just been the top guys switching but I think we did play zone last night. Even the shot before the half from NW I believe we were in a zone which is why their player was basically open in the middle

For those who think we are not elite and we should not expect to attract a top coach, these numbers are just another reason why the opportunities to do well here are high.

Good chance he stays now but that does not mean people were not contacted. This is done through non affiliated people so you're not going to find a source much better than that. I admit he is not perfect but he is employed by 1260 and while they like ratings they are going to have some caution about alienating IU with outright lies.

He talked quite a bit about IU sending out feelers to several coaches. Pretty sure they contacted Stevens and possibly some of the others we have talked about. You don't start making contacts if you aren't thinking about making a change. Query mentioned that Stevens would likely listen but would be more comfortable if there was some time between when the job opened and when they talk. Not real long but did not want it to look like he ran Crean off. I think since then IU may have also heard that next year would be better timing. I think this may also have come from a couple of top candidates. That combined with the potential TB commit might give Crean another year.

Would Jake Query be a real source? Former local television guy now has an afternoon radio show.

On air responses are probably different than off air.

So if three kids in the opposing teams section try to start a chant that fails the summary is Indiana fans are low and negative.

It matters because the original idea was that Indiana fans were doing this. Then it was the student section of the opposing team now we learn it was a few kids who tried but everyone else ignored. So the story could easily be a few kids tried to start a tom Crean sucks chant but no one followed their lead. It did not last long because by the time the HS principle got over it had stopped.

Sampson probably but Davis beat him in the FF. Still give the edge to Sampson Davis had better results during his 6 years than Crean has had in the 4 since the rebuild. I give him the edge but I think Crean could pass once he gets a fresh start. Dakich should not be on the list.

Not saying we are doing anything like this but does this feel like Blue Chips to anyone.

I am not sure if it is a $ issue. If there was a way to spend more for assistants to help minimize recruiting time that might be a better way to throw money at him.
