Walking Boot of Doom

Most of us are mediocre at best. The board is definitely better than the sum of its parts. [emoji854] Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Someone chime in if I'm off base here, but seems like the preferred way to begin talks prior to position actually opening up. Creates distance between the AD and the actual search, and allows them to truthfully say they are not looking for a replacement. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Early was the 34th pick and Ron Baker was starting on this Knicks for some games this year. Vanvleet is on the Raptors roster. The players, when playing the tournament, were developed. Doesn't matter where they came from, they became top talents. Also, he put together some really strong college teams with those guys. Credit given there. Crean has done the exact same thing. He's definitely pulled in more talent around the underrated players he developed. He's had greater failures, but I don't care what Crean has done. Marshall hasn't really impressed. He's clearly assembled teams that are far more talented than the rest of his conference, so I'm not even sure how much stock to put in his 19(?) conference titles. Solid recruiter, coach, and player developer who would likely have greater success with the same resources as Crean. I'm not convinced of that though based on his time at Wichita.

I can't discredit him for not doing more in the tournament with a team that had three NBA players...? Why not? Definitely gets credit for developing the players, but we've seen Crean do plenty of that. If it doesn't produce results, what does it really matter?

Can we got some analysis of Marshall's SOS? Tournament success has been subpar. Let's not ignore the dude had a team with three NBA players (Early, Vanvleet, Baker), two of which comprised one of the most steady and experienced backcourts in recent history. I'm not impressed by his results. He's a good coach, but I'm just not sold that he's able to move into that next tier. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

I mean, the scary part of this graphic is that it shows me there are a lot of "Creans" out there. Yikes. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Yes, send in our most tactful member, the one with the "Kill Terrorists" avatar, living in the remote tundra of Alaska, who hasn't had human contact since the long winter began in the dawn of his youth. [emoji854] Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

When he has the right pieces, the athleticism, multiple ball handlers, pace of the offense, and ability to rebound has made up for the excessive turnovers. What we see in down years is that it's a high risk/high reward system that crashes hard when you pull a few key pieces. Indiana's offense under Crean is not one I think any coach wants to face. It's usually stacked with guys who operate well in transition and can score from deep. Not the Vonleh year or this year. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Too many threads to rapidly refresh. Too much excitement. Hope this at least means he is for sure gone. Don't blue balls us again, Crean... Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Never noticed you were "mean". If this happens, I think we all promised to help Crean pack up and move. I'll bring some boxes. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

What a douchebag Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Given the turnover at the assistant positions, wouldn't be surprised to see a lackluster offense, but it should still be better than last year, and no excuses on the defensive side. Gotta imagine Frey and DMC were not huge surprises to Allen. Edit: holy run-on Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Proves my point. Doyel flip flopping on Crean for viewership is more certain than what the topic of every single one of your posts will be. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

You clearly haven't been paying attention. Doyel was leading the call for Crean's firing after the Devin Davis incident. Enjoy your hate-filled bubble. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app
