    Don't want to say. It is kind of a 7 degrees of Kevin Bacon thing, but I trust the 2 ppl that spoke to and I will just say that I am feeling way more confident now. I think a couple of the Mods are familiar with my source.

    My one resemblance of a source is also hearing that "It is a firestorm and if Fred is not careful he will be in hot water as well" Take that for what it is worth. My source I personally believe to be fairly reliable. I feel a lot better after hearing that news.

    IF this is true Indiana needs to make a move. $5m a year is setting the bar pretty high too. Hope to not have to play against either of these guys the next 5 years, especially with CTC's teams.

    My 2 cents on the coaching candidates: Below are KenPom adjo/adjd rankings from coaches previous yrs. I have shown the average of all years and also shown the average of their best 5 yrs (to get a sense of their ceiling) *With the common knowledge that you need a top 30/30 team to compete for Championships and FF's Gregg Marshall: Has by far and away been the most consistent. Those of you complaining that Crean is too inconstant (i.e. conf championship one year then NIT the next) should be happy with the results Marshall will bring to IU. I think that with these adjusted O/D #'s Marshall benefits from the IU uniform and lands that 1 guy every 2-3 years that is a tournament difference maker and also boosts his tournament resume as well. A. Miller: His KenPom #'s might not be too impressive at first glance, but in 2016 he was playing with very few scholly players and with me only having 6 yrs of data and having to pull 5/6 does not work in his favor. That is also what has be intrigued with him. I cannot say for sure that he will be the best coach on this list, but I can for sure say that he will get better than what he is today as a coach. Points for being young and having room for improvement on an already pretty solid record. Alford: What Archie has going for him is exactly what is probably working against Stevie. He has coached at a high D-1 level for 17 years now and I think maybe like Crean we have seen his ceiling. He has had some good offensive teams, but also had some bad defensive teams as well. A little too close to Crean's resume for me to get behind (P.S. I really do want to like him, because I want nothing more than an all Indiana bench recruiting Indiana kids) Crean: Numbers are obviously just for comparison (Fire Him Now!!!) Bottom line I think any 3 would be an improvement on what we have here now. I will be rooting for Marshall, but would be glad to land Miller if that was final decision as well. I also omitted Billy D's #'s because I think we would all be behind that hire. Marshall A.

    I give at the Hoosier Loyalty level every year which is probably way too much for a guy that has been on the Season ticket waiting list since 2003. #Non-Alumni problems

    I hear on here all the time a big booster......what is a big booster? $10,000 a yr? $100,000 a yr, $1,000,000 a yr? Just wondering. In case I win the powerball I will know how much to donate to get my opinion respected.

    Mine might not be as big as some of the others, but let me know when and where to show up and I will have one filled out. Check Memo: To Make IU Great Again!

    I think we agree he had a huge sack just by making a decision even if we didn't agree with it. Fred has yet to do anything Fire/retain Crean hence the no sack perception.
  12. Uwe Robb

    TOM CREAN FIRED

    Hate to say it, but definitely agree with Dakich saying Myles Brand had a huge sack. If Glass had half the Sack Brand did Crean might not have made it to the BTT.
  13. Uwe Robb

    TOM CREAN FIRED

    Agree with everything Dakich is saying minus the fact that he says Crean should stay.

    Calling out the "Blue Ribbon committee" Asking where are they at now? They loved him when he was turning program around now they are nowhere to be found during losing stretch. Calling Yeagley "sneaky"

    This was a topic on the Notre Dame/Duke broadcast the other night. Mike Brey was Coack K's last assistant that did not play for Duke. If Duke is doing something then other programs should maybe pay attention because they have a pretty consistent winning record the past 25-30 years. Duke's current coaching staff Jeff Capel - Former Duke All-American Nate James - Former Duke Standout Jon Scheyer - Former Duke All-American Nolan Smith - Former Duke All-American Former Assistants Chris Collins Steve Wojciechowski Mike Brey Johnny Dawkins Tommy Amaker Someone please give me a list of Tom Crean's coaching tree and how well they are doing?

    Also throws the fact that he's been to a Final Four in at the end. Sounded like a good summary of his accomplishments for his next employer.

    anybody watch ITH post game clip of Crean? The first 45 seconds he talked about how proud he was of Brian Gregory (GT former coach) and the way he was let go and how he did a great job. I was almost like he was talking to himself in the mirror about himself a year from now.

    Not sure what exotic Spring Break destination he is headed to in that attire. Let's all hope it's OKC. I here they do it right for Spring Break.

    According to Glass they are on Spring Break maybe they all want to go sit on the beach and watch MSB pick up chicks while Freddie bongs beers?
