It's going to be settled no strings attached and be paid out over time. Get it over with.

Love Dauster. Always insightful. Really understands how to break it down for the people who aren't necessarily able to readily identify what's happening on the court. At first glance, you think effort, but this is far more than effort. It's bad scheme that is sucking the hope out of players, causing them to throw in the towel.

Go ahead and disregard this. I didn't see it posted above

http://collegebasketball.nbcsports.com/2015/12/03/breaking-down-indianas-historically-bad-defense-and-why-their-seasons-at-a-crossroads/ This guy basically agrees that it's mostly confusion and chaos causing our defense to be as bad as it is. When I watch, I don't see lack of effort. I see young men having no idea what they are doing. Sad.

This is a great write up for all of you who actually think it's the players fault due to lack of effort on the court. It's 100% due to the spastic style. They have no idea what they are doing out there and it's not on them.

Pastner is a joke. Win % comes from beating fluff teams. No chance in hell he should even get a phone interview.

*Places bong back onto coffee table*

Apathy is the worst thing that can happen to a programs fan base. We've been beaten into submission.

3 McD's AA's and a Jordan Brand All American 4/5 starters were HS AA's. If the next coach at Indiana is even somewhat proficient at in game coaching, he is going to RAKE with the talent he will be able to bring in.

I'm at that point already. Like last week. I can't believe I stayed up for that game. Gotta be up at 4. I knew it was gonna happen. That's what's sad.

I can't believe I did it but I did it. Sent him an email. Not spending another dime on anything Indiana Basketball until the brass shows they are going to make an effort to squeeze this fruit for all the juice it has. Indiana Basketball is capable of so so much more than this. Lots of people are getting paid a lot of money just to underperform. I'd be fired already. Instead I have to prepare daily, focus on the goal at hand, and EXECUTE in a high pressure environment, or I don't get paid and the babies don't get to have a comfortable life. Crean has made $20 Million dollars at Indiana. Makes me SICK!!!! I'm forever BTB tho

I say give them a chance with someone else coaching them.

[quote name="Hovadipo" post="219484" timestamp="1449116614"]I'm ready right now, but still thinking we need a clean break for sure. Tough to have that clean break with a mid-season fire.[/ He needs to agree to resign at seasons end as soon as he gets back or fire him midseason. His contracts buyout is nothing close to as bad as we think it is. It will be settled for a lesser amount and be spread out into payments over 5-10 years.

Think about it. These guys were out there in the second half and nothing was working. They kept looking over to the sideline for direction and got zero adjustment.... They were beat into submission by their coach every bit as much as they were by Duke. I'm proud of the effort they came out with and the focus. They just have to play with one limb cut off. I'm in the group that says there is nowhere to go but up at this point, if Crean were to be let go now.

I wish I could like this 1000x

I'm sick of this excuse. You honestly think these kids don't want to win? What a joke. EVERY kid was a winner before they were coached by Crean. They just flat out don't have the leader on the sideline to compete with high level D1 teams. They are playing complex matchup zones that look like they've just been taught them that day, even though they cannot play fundamental man defense. They play HARD but are LOST. They have been let down by their leader. Plain and simple. This team would look completely different with a competent in game coach. There's no way these boys don't want to win.

Dick Vitale = FOOL

Indiana Basketball is torturing me.

We officially will end the non con with zero impressive wins. What a ******* embarrassment!!!

That's quite the acting job by Greyson Allen

I'm just gonna hang out here and meet everyone after the game. #FireTomCrean

Not the player.... It's the strategy and preparation. Plenty of capable defenders have worn the stripes in the last 8 years.

Terrible terrible defense and rebounding. No matter how much you tell yourself to expect this, it's still extremely maddening. How can you get 3 straight layups w/ 2 coming from drives at the perimeter all the way in uncontested?

Coach K mad that some calls went the other way. How dare they.
