Walking Boot of Doom

it's a forum for discussion. No safe spaces here. This is the thread to discuss Tom Crean's success/failure as a coach. It was made to keep the debate over his time as coach out of game threads, recruiting threads, etc. Why would people post their opinion if they didn't want people to respond? Whether in agreement or opposition.

Can't wait for Yogi's "I'm a Hoosier" clip in the pregame hype videos. Welcome to the long list of truly great Hoosiers, Yogi. Thanks for a fun four year journey.

I want another Biefeldt. Clearly we can develop even a grad transfer in an off season. Let's find another talented transfer.

For all those who are disappointed by this season, go ahead and read this article. http://www.indystar.com/story/sports/columnists/gregg-doyel/2016/03/26/doyel-indiana-next-year-could-year-if/82288506/ We lost our leading scorer, and our best defender missed 5 of our last 7 games, including the loss to UNC, arguably the best team in the country.

I think a lot of you guys should have your taste buds checked out if everything tastes like a poop sandwich

Truly have no idea what you're saying. It was a very good season. We had a chance to beat UNC, but they came out shooting hotter than they have all season. Therefore, we stood no chance. We won the B1G and made it to the Sweet Sixteen. Upsetting Kentucky on the way was a nice bonus. This program isn't elite right now, but it has the potential. Excited for next year.

Talent will be much higher. Zeisloft and Biefeldt played extremely well all year, but weren't as talented as some of the guys they had to play against. We'll have top talent across the board next year. Need guys like RoJo and Hartman and TB to pull this team together and mature.

Didn't label anyone. Just said you're lashing out at Crean when no one was going to beat UNC last night. By all accounts, it was a very good season. As many have said before, next year should be a year that builds on this year's success. So we should contend for the B1G again next year, and at least make it to the second weekend of the tournament.

Just make sure he kills it at the combine. Get that little guy drafted!

OG has already been quoted as saying he will be back next year. Life is good.

Just the typical people pissed off at the world and lashing out at the wrong person. No one in the country could have stopped UNC tonight. No one. As Treesh said in another thread (all though in a different context), we ran into the MonStars tonight. And we didn't have Go-go Gadget Jordan for the game winner.

OG didn't do **** against Paige either!!! Paige was on FIRE. Literally have never seen someone go off like that. There was no chance anyone could have stopped him.

Before tonight, we were 22-0 when scoring 80 points or more in a game. UNC had the best shooting night from beyond the arc of their lives. I'm glad to see people like Alford Bailey, JS, and Old Friend looking at this with reason. No one is happy that Crean hasn't progressed beyond a Sweet Sixteen, but this was a very good year, and to open up this thread again after facing one of the best two teams in the country, after beating Kentucky, is absurd.

Torn. Wisconsin seems "hot" right now. Nigel Hayes has been playing poorly, and they're still winning. But at the same time, I'm not eager to face Demetrius Jackson and Zach Augustine. ND would play into our fast pace though.

you've got the rest of your life to make it up to her

All defenserocks did was point out that Coach K is a prick, as evidenced once again, by his lecturing of Brooks. It was a relevant point, and I don't get why biteoftheapple has an issue with someone researching their opinion.

Stayed up late for boring games [emoji58]

Real boring games. Miami and A&M just completely overmatched.

I know it's been asked before, but odds he comes back?

At this point, Crean doesn't even need to beat UNC. Put up respectable performance, and no one will be disappointed in his coaching performance this year.

Watch the end of the UNI TA&M game where UNI lost the 12 point lead because their senior guard who usually inbounds was injured. Brutal.

This feels so so good

I Crean'ed and Crimson'ed all over the place.
