[quote name="Chasejustus" post="48881" timestamp="1395021743"]Take a second and look at UK. They won the national championship and the next year they lost 1st round in the NIT. Now, they are looking to make a run in the tournament. When you lose key players (for us: Hulls, Zeller, Oladipo, and Watford), you go into a rebuilding stage. This rebuild wasn't as drastic as when Crean was first hired, but that's what it is. You can't expect a national championship one year after losing all of those players as well as having the second least experienced team in the B1G. Crean made mistakes this year, but let's be honest: who doesn't? There are coaches all over the nation that make mistakes year in and year out. Firing Crean would only hurt the program at this point in time. If there are consecutive seasons without production then find another guy that can run the show, but for now, let Crean do his best to rebuild. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners[/quote] The rebuild is over. Caliparis system is fraud as well. All his teams that made nice runs including the title team had senior leadership on them. Seniors leave you get results like last year and this year. No excuse why this team shouldn't have been a bubble team as the worst possible outcome.

Put down the flask

[quote name="IU Hoosier41" post="48458" timestamp="1395006441"]If Crean was wrong on that class, what do you think Scouts, 24/7, Rivals, ESPN, fans, coaches and players were? Pretty sure EVERYONE had that class ranked extremely high. Can't just place blame on Crean there man. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners[/quote]l Perfect example of why those player ratings mean jack squat sometimes. Look at sheehey and oladipo virtually unknowns.

Go lewis cass kings!

[quote name="Hovadipo" post="47980" timestamp="1394929960"]That's weird to me. In Illinois, it goes regionals then sectionals, which is confusing enough. Now this.. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners[/quote] I kind of like it it adds to a very exciting day of basketball. Teams usually get about a 6 hour break between games

[quote name="Hovadipo" post="47977" timestamp="1394929496"]Indiana plays regional semis and finals in the same day? Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners[/quote] Yep

Is that at BKF or at UK

I like this thread because the crean supporters come here and haha at the fire train when we win and the fire train comes here and ha has at the supporters after a loss so it's like a never ending cycle

[quote name="HoosierAloha" post="40472" timestamp="1392754810"]Hearing coach respond that way is exactly what I fear. All the armchair coaches in this fan base is pretty pathetic. This program needs stability not more changes. Part of that is on the coaching staff and part is on all the crap "experts" on these boards and fan base. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners[/quote] What's pathetic is how coach throws everyone under the bus in his pressers when the team clearly looks unprepared and doesn't give a damn.

[quote name="All_Hoosiers" post="39948" timestamp="1392562113"]He doesn't get a pass, but to suggest firing just one year after what he's done is absurd. And I don't think it's fair to say the team hasn't improved. It's easy to look good against a Chicago State, but appearance against the Big Ten is different. It's like when people confuse athleticism for "talent." People confuse the team looking amazing against Cupcake U and not so amazing against a top 25 team as "not improving." I'm not saying the team has made leaps and bounds, but you can't sit there and honestly believe they've gotten worse. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app[/quote] I never said the have gotten worse but I just haven't seen any improvement other than Hollowell turning his game around and i don't think he has totally turned it around quite yet. The team has played well in a few games but seem to take 10 steps back after those games. Who would have thought at the beginning of the year we would lose at Nebraska, at home to northwestern, at home to penn state, and get taken to the woodshed at purdue? Maybe they have improved like you said but I just haven't seen any signs.

[quote name="hoosha61" post="39936" timestamp="1392559696"]This topic is silly. This guy resurrected are program from the ashes. Has he forgotten how to coach after the departure of 5 pro players? Is he without fault? No, is he on the floor? No. I know you are tired of hearing it, but this season is a by product of youth. If these freshmen stay four years, you will be building a statue for CTC. Go HOOSIERS! Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners[/quote] We can't keep bringing up how he resurrected the program does that give him a free pass? You really isn't much of an excuse anymore 25 games into the season. We should have seen signs of improvement by now right? I haven't seen any improvement from game 1 to game 25 just the same group of guys that turns the ball over 20 times a game with no purpose on offense.

Are there any first class seats available?

[quote name="BsterDetty" post="38806" timestamp="1392474219"]I think we both know who's right in this situation.... Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners[/quote] Not gonna argue who is right or who is wrong. Nobody cares to see that. Have a good one homie.

[quote name="BsterDetty" post="38766" timestamp="1392444467"]Here's the thing... Most of you are older or haven't played the game. I'm fresh out of high school basketball in Indiana. I remember playing and our fans having the same attitudes towards my coach and the team. Why would they disagree with what is going on? Because they have no clue about game scheme or strategies. They're just fans that think they know the game. IF CREAN OR THE IU MENS BASKETBALL TEAM WAS TO LISTEN TO EVERYONES BS THEN THEY WOULD BE WORTHLESS. For once in your life, trust the game plan and support the damn team!! It's not like your negative opinions make a difference anyway. You're all just typical fans that act like they know the game. When things are going good, you all promise Crean, when things are going bad, this thread gets started. It's absolutely absurd. I'm not one to publicly show my emotion. But I love my damn Hoosiers and this thread pisses me off. Stick to your career and stop creating negative vibes for fellow Hoosiers. There's NOTHING better than INDIANA BASKETBALL. It's time that you all support this team.

It's coach'a fault HMP got arrested lets fire his ass!!!

[quote name="Hovadipo" post="38469" timestamp="1392402844"]Exactly how I feel. Can't stand the guy. Not sure how it is that he recruits so well, but he gets results with guys that don't always mesh very well. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners[/quote] I agree his teams just don't have that leadership core, the backbone of a team because his roster is wiped clean every season and that's why we see some of the losses we do from his past 2 teams.
