[quote name="JSHoosier" post="26582" timestamp="1388543942"]It's part of it, but I won't place all of it on youth. As I've said, turnover problems are consistent with Crean teams. Go back to his first year at Marquette and the best his teams have done is average 13 a game, with several years averaging more than that. It's a part of his offense, he wants them to just push push push and doesn't seem to care much about the consequences.[/quote] This year things are terrible. No sugar coating that. You were spot on about the TO rate of Marquette while CTC was there but for fun I took the same time period for Duke. MU turnover average was 13.7 Duke was 13.95. I did not pull up any other teams. MUs highest rate was 14.8 Dukes highest was 15.4. I am not sure it is fair to claim that CTCs teams have consistent TO problems unless you think Duke does too. This year has been terrible and yet seems to be an aberration compared to the MU years. If it is not corrected it will be our Achilles heel all year. I also agree with others that this is not just a freshman issue. Yogi had a great game but those two TOs at the end of regulation were killers. Noticed CTC responded to two tweets today which is not common for him. Probably getting some tweet heat from fans or just tired of things right now. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Not necessarily. The last two times Mallory moved on the moved were announced on Dec 17th and Dec 18. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

I think I have good news. Circle Dec 19th 2013 on your calendar. I looked back at the LSU boards in 2008 and they looked a lot like ours now. Interestingly he was not fired officially in '08 because he moved on to the Lobos. I found an article though where Mallory admitted he did not really have a spot as DC with LSU if he did not move on. Fast forward to 2010 and the Lobos and again with a defense that is getting worse Mallory moves on this time to IU without being fired I believe. The announcements occurred on almost the same date (Dec 17th and Dec 18th) just 2 years apart. So this got me thinking...I noticed a lot of our '14 recruits have been turning in paperwork recently to enrol early and I wonder if the previous Mallory exits weren't strategically timed. Combine the early enrollment a with keeping kids committed and I am thinking/hoping we have not heard an announcemt because we (IU and Mallory) are both taking a look without giving fuel to others to poach our kids until a DC is named. Mallory is probably a like able guy and works favorably on his exit so I could see why he might travel on recruiting visits. Then on Dec 19th 2013 when we announce that Mallory has accepted some coaching job somewhere that is spun into a believable story and also announce the hiring of a new DC we do not lose ground with recruits. We should hear something in a week and a half Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

I wonder if Dakich's on air comments are a big part if the attack. Anyone hear whether Dakich commented on TL recently? Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Not saying I am doing this but is there a better way to refresh this app besides dragging down? Seems sometimes I, or I mean someone might get frustrated because the grabbed too low and was not able too drag far enough to set the spinny refresh thing. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

That would explain why he initially discarded the info. Lol. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Read today where IU may be switching to nike. Tom Lyles has been known to promote nike. Just saying..... Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

So regarding Lyle, do you accept a commitment now or wait till spring? Assuming there is some truth to prior reports on him being challenging I would understand waiting for more evidence he has matured. However, if you wait and he has a productive player year at prep school with an uneventful year regarding issues do you risk having someone else come in and take him away? Assuming CTC has a pretty good feel for what his challenges are and assuming he feels optimist he can connect with him I would accept his commitment and get him signed. I would do this with the understanding that he not have any issues. If he does not show evidence he has grown up then he enters on the same thin ice Patterson may have been on. Get out of line here and your scholarship is gone. I would only wait if you were not confident we will have a spot for a 3rd new comer. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Excellent article in the Louisville courier journal about the Max commitment. Florida offered him for 2015 and UCONN offered for 14. Also good second hand comments from Goodluck regarding CTC and the program. Anyone criticizing should really sit back and see how the fall Bball season goes. I am fine with a 3 star specialist and he seems to be a kid that can really develop. Would love to add a JBj or JL or DRob if possible. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

I like how I have to learn the nuances of a new board every year or so. It helps keep me young. Thanks to all who do the work so I can simply click on the app and get instant good information. I remember back when in college we had these things called newspapers that kids delivered to your house. We had to wait until about 7 AM when the paper arrived to get any info. Now we get it instantly and I know there are a lot of people out there working hard like that paper carrier to make sure I get info. For that I give a big thanks! Hopefully there are no long lasting hard feelings amongst the mods from both sites because they did a lot of good work as well. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

The meet and greet was offered by IU and the Pacers for Indiana night. I got tickets but the meet and greet offer was full by then. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Would not trade out team but I think this team was a FF caliber team. I would trade the trophies in a second. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Anyone think there will be tickets available at the game? Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Anyone know if tickets can be purchased at assembly hall for the game tonight Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

You are probably right but it sure seems to be the case. It would be great to get in a 5* in '14 but if we end up with a 2-3 3&4 star kids that will be complementary players initially and potentially regular rotation guys as upperclassmen I am OK with that. We have a lot of talent in Bloomington already. @kjrelentless: Sometimes you spend so much time worrying about what you dont have you forget to appreciate what you have right in front of you.
