  1. http://espn.go.com/ncb/notebook/_/page/top50coaches50-25/top-50-coaches   Interesting list that came out in June of 2014. Check out the "Just missed top 50"
  2. I tend to lean toward your side, but my only thought would be " It's Indiana" Let's go get whoever we want a'la Michigan and Alabama football. Here is 7 yrs 35 mil now get to work we need 3 Burger Boys and 3 In-states ASAP!!!
  3. I can see both sides. I see Archie Miller's name on here mentioned quite a bit. You could make the arguement that he hasn't even had the success that Crean had before he came to IU, but with 7 years of experience from Crean I feel that he is not going to be the one to hang banner #6. So if he is not that guy we might as well give someone that shot. I just don't want to wait around til year 9 or 10 with same results.   I would not be totally upset with Archie Miller or Greg Marshall. I would be more confident that we could get banner #6 with those guys even if their experience doesn't prove it.   ***Still want Brad Stevens though***
  4. I think it's easy for all of us to say that Crean needs to be gone no matter what and there are actually about 20 coaches I would say I would rather have than Crean. The behind the scenes stuff is what we can't and aren't taking into consideration.   If there have been back channel discussions with either Brad Stevens or Billy D and they are saying the timing is wrong and they need 1 more year then I 100% agree you wait one mor year and keep Crean. If they flat out tell you NO I will not be coming to IU anytime in the foreseeable future then you go to your 2nd tier (Marshall, Bennett, Miller x2) I think one of these coaches for sure accept, if not then we are in worse shape than we think.   But just to answer your question if you forced me to put a years salary on one game Crean vs. ? I could name 20 coaches that I would rather have coaching a single game.
  5. Yeah apparently Southport got beat by Pike this evening.
  6. Evansville Reitz - 107 Evansville Harrison - 94
  7. Due to weather the Evansville 4A Sectional Finals will be played Monday. The semi-fiinal matchup between Evansville Reitz and Evansville Harrison should be best game of Saturday night down here locally.
  8. Okay Alaska I need you to focus all of your energy on this....   Brad Stevens > Tom Crean Thomas Bryant > Tim Priller Thon Maker > J April 2015 PG > Stan
  9. You are probably right. I was just thinking a big man. Either way it would be a huge get.
  10. If he commits we owe it all to Alaska!!! He has been willing this for several months now.
  11. Evansville Reitz - 106 Evansville North - 52   Jaelen Sanford - 25 Alex Stein - 25
  12. Yeah Reitz has Senior night tonight then they play Southport at 1:30 local time tomorrow then Sectionals start for both teams Tuesday. With Reitz's pressing style that could be a tiresome 5 days.
  13. Depends on Harrison's game plan. I think they had the right idea the last time they played at Harrison. But they abandoned it after 2 possessions.   Seems like Reitz does that to teams though. Other teams get caught up in that press and rush and the tempo gets out of control very fast.
  14. The Perry Meridian Sectional will be crazy too.   Ben Davis, Pike and Southport all in the same Sectional. Wow, I feel like those 3 teams could make it to Regional or Semi if they had a different route.
  15. Yeah I don't want to sound cocky, because Ev. Harrison and Ev. Central are both very good teams as well as New Albany, but Reitz has played all 3 of them with the closest game being 14 pts. If Reitz plays the way they are capable of playing they will walk to the Semi-State and that is where they will see the Indy teams that have played tougher schedules this year.   Southport game Saturday will be very good. Reitz has 5 Seniors and a Junior that get playing time and they will press for 32 min. I have not seen Scruggs play, but he could make a huge jump in rankings or they could make him look like a Sophomore like he is.   I am hearing from some people at work that the game could still be cancelled. Southport is contemplating just cancelling game since their Sectionals start Tuesday. If anyone hears any info on this please post!!
  16. Nope, they wouldn't play until Semi-State. They are also playing this Saturday so we will get a good preview. I am looking forward to seeing Southport, they have definitely played the tougher schedule.
  17. I have an Evansville bias, but I am taking Evansville Reitz to go all the way. 20-0, don't see them even being in a close game until Semi-State.
  18. Greater minds than mine may know the answer if April was to not play another minute the rest of the year would he be eligible for a redshirt? This is one of my many theories. Crean already knows he will be gone next year so he is doing him a favor by securing him another year of playing time at a different school? Too crazy?
  19. May sound crazy, but I would contribute Yogi going from skinny H.S. kid to a Freshmen with Popeye arms for his Freshmen year struggles. The guy had to get used to firing off treys with those new cannons he developed.
  20. When referring to Crean's coaching ability why is everyone referencing this years team? I was much more upset about his inability to coach last years team, the #1 overall seed in the tournament past the Sweet 16.
