Walking Boot of Doom

This is such a great dismantling. Remember when Marquette fans warned us about Crean? Yeah, me too... Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

I think you have typo that makes it read like they wanted him fired, but I got your point. This is really cool and funny Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

I don't think this is purely on Alford and that whoever was leading UCLA at the time would have been presented with the opportunity, but I suspect the Ball brothers came with a price tag. LaVar Ball is already making statements that his sons will sign for a combined $1 billion, and he's already promoting their personal brand, Big Baller Brand. For me, there are a lot of red flags there. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

This is my favorite line: "“I just don’t think a former player is going to pick up state of Indiana recruits any better than a good, solid hire would do,’’ Leary said." He's right. Being an "Indiana" guy won't mean much for recruiting. Being a coach that has been relevant in the past decade matters for recruiting. Being a winner matters for recruiting. Sure, it may help convince some moms and dads. They have "Hoosier values" and can connect over that. Ultimately, the kid has to be interested. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Not going to be able to find the article, but donations to the basketball program were at an all-time high (over $20 mill) last year and had increased almost every year under Crean from $9 mill when he took over. Read that and tell me the donors were really doing all that much to make their displeasure known. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Cool Top 10 Moments list from the Crean era. Man, I forgot how tense I was during the end of that Michigan game. Thank god for Yogi's little block on that put back. http://www.crimsonquarry.com/2017/3/16/14948298/top-10-moments-tom-crean-at-indiana Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Fkfootball showed his face to let us know that Indiana is stupid if they hire anyone other than Marshall so he's ok [emoji108]🏼 Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Shocking. An Alford team without tournament caliber defense... Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Yuuuup. Love watching people run with "facts" that are what they want to believe. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Old Friend, do you have a response to this? I'm very curious how this fits at Indiana. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Did you read the report issued by the president of UI? The one that explicitly stated an individual with connections to Alford met with the victim to discuss her decision on whether or not to press charges? I suggest you do some more research. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

No, you don't understand. Our culture over the past 30 years has become mediocrity and early tournament exits. Alford is perfect.

Defended Pierre Pierce adamantly and his close friend and priest conveniently met with the victim. Answer honestly, are you comfortable with that kind of person coaching at Indiana? If so, we have nothing further to discuss. I don't understand how many here can get so indignant about other programs not doing things the "right way", and then in the same breath call Alford as the savior of the program.

Is covering up sexual assault part of Indiana's culture?

What evidence to you have to support the claim that he was forced into firing Crean? Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Where in the world did you come up with this

I don't have the exact quote, but yesterday Glass said something about presenting the next head coach with a pool of assistants they can select from. Can someone clarify if I'm off on this? That said, who are the assistants you most like to see at Indiana? Given the speculation regarding their future head coaching abilities, I want Dane Fife and Calbert Cheaney on the bench.

Fun fact about Indiana, according to state law, you are allowed to marry your first cousin. The more you know.
