If Crean can sell himself to IU, and promise he'll blow Mizzou's expectations out of the water Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

That's not an article... that's a news release of an investigation into the entire situation by UI President Skorton. I'd recommend giving it a longer read through... Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Posted by mdn82 in another thread... http://news-releases.uiowa.edu/2003/april/040903skorton.html Highlight were these parts: "In addition to these formal contacts, some contacts with the female student were initiated by persons who were not University employees, but who have an informal University relationship. In particular, individuals affiliated with Athletes in Action, a religious organization, contacted the victim to seek an informal resolution of the matter by asking the victim to meet informally for prayer with the perpetrator. One of those individuals had a longstanding relationship with the basketball program and its coach, which included traveling with the basketball team and conducting voluntary chapel and Bible study activities for the team and staff." "Coach Steve Alford was asked for comments by the press numerous times in the Pierce matter. He was advised by Bob Bowlsby that he should show support for his player but indicate that he was awaiting the resolution of the legal matter. The distinctions required in the direction he received were difficult to draw, however, and on at least one occasion, the Big Ten media day, he stated with regard to Pierce that "I totally believe he's innocent. I believed it from Day 1 and I still believe it." No pass for Alford. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

No statue... but I hope people don't discredit or undervalue what he did for the program. It's easy to say he should've done it faster or should've had more success, but it sounds like he was the only one willing to do it. Really do hope he lands in a good situation at Mizzou or elsewhere (I think Mizzou is THE perfect situation for him). Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

I've been against it... but I'm jumping on the Marshall bandwagon. I'm in. I'll take him over Archie, Bennett, Holtman, etc. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

I honestly don't understand how we could possibly even be that close Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

It doesn't make any sense why people think Glass is attached to Crean. If he wanted to keep Crean around, he would have extended him after what was a very exciting season that had most of the fanbase thinking Crean had finally turned a corner. He didn't. What's that say about Glass? Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Hope Crean and Co look impressive this weekend. Give teams considering hiring him that final positive gut check look. And the guys need a break from an awful season. Wanna go out on a high note and hopefully avoid a mass exodus. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Maybe a gift for Crean so he can keep sh*%ting on us after he leaves. [emoji854] Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Alford resume after 22 years coaching at Iowa, New Mexico, and UCLA: - never made it past the S16 - missed the tournament 12 times - the alleged rape cover up at Iowa Sounds like worse results than Crean, with a much, much shittier character. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

You are cruel and unusual Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

He's proven he can tear it up during the regular season and then flop harder than Crean post season [emoji23] Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Posters have also been accused of being every member of Crean's family and Fred Glass in disguise posting propaganda on the board in support of Crean. BTB is all kinds of sketchy. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

WRONG! Stuhoo believes the fake news of the corrupt media trying to discredit our great program. Very anti-Hoosier! SAD! Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

From the article with Sampson in it... Tom Crean, Indiana Head Coach Resume: Crean's is as impressive--or more--than any on this list. He has been a head coach for 18 years and is averaging right around 20 wins a season. He took Marquette to five tournaments and a Final Four. He has taken Indiana to four tournaments and three Sweet Sixteens. He has a .609 career winning percentage. Why Crean: He has won at the highest level. He has run two major programs. He is experienced. He could be looking for a way out of Indiana (either by his choice or not) at the end of the season. The situation he took over in Bloomington is about as bad as it can be and he had them in the Sweet Sixteen in year four. He's also recruiting Missouri a lot better than any Mizzou coach in a long time. Why Not Crean: Is he on the downside of his career? He had a good run at Marquette, but has been inconsistent at Indiana and this is his worst season in the Big Ten since 2010-11. You're buying low if you go with Crean.
