    Hanner Perea arrested

    [quote name="djsalway" post="38402" timestamp="1392395682"]How long will he be in custody? I know he's still there...[/quote] I think atleast 12 hours in the D tank from the time he was booked.
  2. Time to give him a shot. Crean gives 13 other guys a shot in the games why not Peter?

    [quote name="Seanmccauley3" post="38346" timestamp="1392389922"]Just dumb I understand boozing after a loss like that and when the season is going South fast, but at least have the decency to get a sober friend to drive you Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners[/quote] I don't think anyone was willing to drive his ass at 4:45 in the morning on a week night/morning.

    OT: How did you find us?

    Searched something IU on the AppStore and this popped up so I peeped it and made an account.

    I agree it's time to see what Peter has to offer. I want to see what our future is going to look like with him next year. Loved watching him in garbage time.

    My question is does he play Saturday? What if Hammons were to get Noah in foul trouble?

    On to Purdue, your thoughts!?

    Don't know what to expect. I keep telling myself were gonna come out firing but everytime I feel that way I'm left heartbroken by the end of the game.

    Fred Glass interview

    [quote name="All_Hoosiers" post="38204" timestamp="1392347976"]I think he's good, but not elite. John Calipari is elite. Tom Crean is not. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app[/quote] Eh I guess I could go for that

    [quote name="All_Hoosiers" post="38200" timestamp="1392347792"]I wouldn't even call Crean an elite recruiter. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app[/quote] I would. The man can get whoever he wants. He just chooses to continuously recruit athlete wings that can't shoot.

    Fred Glass interview

    [quote name="OliviaPope40" post="38195" timestamp="1392347402"]But how does he do it what's the secret?[/quote] I don't know I read something online one time where everyone thought he was coloring it or was wearing a tupe. They even had a hair dye specialist analyze it and everyone came to the conclusion he is just aging gracefully and isn't dying it.

    Fred Glass interview

    [quote name="JSHoosier" post="38182" timestamp="1392346460"]Not shown "Mr. Glass, how can you call Crean an 'elite' coach when his track record is very similar to Mike Davis?" "Ummm, well, ummmmmmmmmmmmm..." "Mr. Glass, how can you justify a 14 million dollar buyout after just one Sweet 16?" "Cocaine is a hell of a drug" Seriously, even the biggest supporters of Crean have to admit calling him an "elite coach" is complete BS.[/quote] Maybe an elite recruiter but calling him an elite coach is like saying coach k doesn't dye his hair

    TOM CREAN FIRED

    [quote name="Hovadipo" post="38126" timestamp="1392338653"]Be hypothetical with me for a quick second. What does this board, and the overall outlook on IU basketball look like if Jordan Morgan's tip goes in? Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners[/quote] I don't think it would have been as bad still with a share of the title.

    TOM CREAN FIRED

    Tired of hearing that we are young. Yes we are young but damnit there should have been improvement over the course of the year and I'm seeing the same team that took the floor against Chicago state on opening night. Crean has to take some blame and he takes none and throws everyone under the bus. How many times have we seen him get outcoached in the second half of games? That's on HIM. This team is only going to get better once he looks in the mirror and he gets better. Until then we wil see 20 turnovers a game, no movement on offense, and a guy running like a chicken with it's head cut off on the sidelines.

    Scouting a potential Crean replacement

    [quote name="Rayl" post="37989" timestamp="1392313676"]You might be right. I don't know. I suppose it depends on how bad you think Crean is. If you think he is terrible, then certainly he could be replaced by someone who is at least not terrible. But, if you think he is good, just not good enough, then maybe there isn't anyone available who would be guaranteed to be better. The problem is though, how long do you have to wait for someone to prove that he is the next great college basketball coach? And, once someone has already distinguished himself as that guy, is he going to want to come to IU? Will the NBA being sniffing around him or another big school? Instead of waiting for the next great coach to emerge, it might be better to try to identify him before everyone else knows he's great. A lot of great coaches have emerged from almost nowhere. Coach K? One NIT berth at Army and losing records the last two seasons before being hired by Duke. Boeheim, Izzo and Williams were all longtime assistants. There are probably a couple of great coaches out there we could get. We just need Fred Glass to identify them. It's very doubtful that a move is going to be made after this season. However, it is time for Glass to have his ear to the ground listening to what basketball insiders are saying about some of the lesser known young coaches and assistants.[/quote] One duke writer wrote about coach k in his first year or 2 in Durham and said "maybe this guy will be fired before I learn to spell his name"

    [quote name="Hovadipo" post="37903" timestamp="1392303023"]Yeah consider your next 3 hours gone. It's really easy to lose track of time. You might look up and it will be dark. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners[/quote] Haha times really flying by this is way better than career mode with a player. This is super fun. Tons of transfer money to play with.

    PS3/4 Thread

    [quote name="Hovadipo" post="37898" timestamp="1392302273"]It's so addicting. Especially when you figure out how to navigate the transfer period. I'll give you a little free tip. If you're in a transfer period, go to "search players" and search for an Attacker named Bruma. Buy him. Right now. He will be the best player on that team in 2-3 years. Also, keep Aaron Lennon. Maybe the fastest guy on the game. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners[/quote] Thanks for the tip I just inquired about him. This looks pretty freakin fun. I like this transfer thing.

    TOM CREAN FIRED

    [quote name="Indymike7" post="37882" timestamp="1392296561"]Coach is the one teaching the guys how to play, tells them what to do and decides who should be playing when. If they aren't following orders, then that reflects poorly on him also. Come on, he tries to sub someone in with 3 seconds left in the first half and calls a timeout with .3 seconds? Doesn't seem to want to take advantage of having Noah? Why doesn't Crean teach him a hook shot? Clearly unaware of his surroundings and what adjustments it takes to win.[/quote] I agree with you man. He isn't doing a good job correcting the turnovers. His sub patterns are god awful and he looks lost in the second half of games. Hell he blames everyone but himself after the game.
