The most staggering stat is the FACT that Tom Crean has only been to the sweet sixteen 3 times in 15 years as a head coach for UM and IU....that is unacceptable as a head coach for IU, if you think that is okay in any way, you need to be cheering for another team..

It's time we get real with this...exactly what needs to happen on the football field too...SPEND more $$$ on big name coach = wins most of the time... haha With that being said...I would absolutely love to have Richard Pitino coach IU. Dude would win a lot here I think.

I think TC is a stand up guy, he means well and seems like a great person.  BUT... I think he's 1) Not as good as a coach as some would say he is. 2) Not as bad as some of his critiques say he is. 3)NOT going to win a national championship...  To me this whole thing is a cop out for all IU supporters to say, well i think he's a good coach but if it weren't for all the other stuff off the court...he needs to go now... Let's be real here... we all know win's and losses are what drive the boat. If he was winning, none of this would be as big as an issue as it is currently.  Is anyone REALLY able to accept the subpar seasons we have had (minus the two tourney runs)...Does anyone really think he is going to win a NC at IU... if the answer to that last question is no, then where the IUBB program is at right now, he is not the answer... He's just not. I applaud him for bringing IU back from the dumpster fire that it was when he got here, but he has proven he isn't the answer. The big thing is Fred Glass said, "we are Indiana, we don't go to the CBI" last year... oh but you are willing to accept several years of mediocre BB???!! and missing the tournament several years in a row?!?? THIS DOESN'T MAKE SENSE   Thoughts??
