Walking Boot of Doom

That one bad year almost got him fired... and without Lonzo Ball... he may have been. Look at the defensive efficiency numbers. They're going to bomb out early in the tournament, and his seat will be even hotter than last year. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

True. But we've all heard it too haha Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Where do you get that notion? Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

If you're Steve Alford... how the eff do you let that kind of thing leak in any shape or form when you are the coach of a top team headed into the tournament. What an idiot. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Nah, a little bit higher than that Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Hopefully not too soft. Aaayyooooo Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Remember when everyone wasted their time worrying about us going on a run? That was funny. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Unfortunately fitting that Crean's final IU game will be a loss to Wisconsin. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Based on the top 30 ranking of every title winner in AdjO and AdjD since 2002, odds say he has no chance. In his 22 years, he's assembled zero teams that ranked in the top 30 in KenPom's AdjO and AdjD. Crean has produced two.

He's never put together a team that had both the offensive and defensive success to win a title. If history is any indicator, his 81st ranked AdjD team is going to flop hard in the tournament this year.

What was Marquette? Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

I just don't get how you look at 21 years where he missed the tourney 12 times and say he's not inconsistent Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Love the logic... Crean has never had success in the tournament in 19 years coaching at Marquette or Indiana. But Alford! He just hasn't been given the right resources in 21 years coaching in the B1G, MWC, and at blueblood UCLA. At UCLA so far, went to the Sweet Sixteen twice and then completely missed the tournament. Talk about inconsistency. Reminds me of another coach at a blueblood school... Crean only succeeded last year because of Yogi. Well... Alford's current PG happens to be a projected top NBA draft pick and one of the most talented PGs in college basketball. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

But... why? I'm excited to watch Alford pull an Alford and flop in the tournament as usual. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

How? He has never progressed past the Sweet Sixteen and has missed the tournament more than 50% of his years coaching. He's actually a worse coach than Crean. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Stop panicking. The Janitor is always vague and people misinterpret his messages. He could be referring to legitimately anything from Crean staying to the timing of his departure. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Last year that made sense... this year... no. No where close to the most dangerous team. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Has been the word for a while, but the other side of that is that IU may just be going through the motions with him as courtesy/PR move with other IU alum and former players. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Mind sharing? Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Probably believed the fans were loyal to him, and would follow him to Tech. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Same over here at BTB [emoji23] Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

The internet sources saying he's gone are shady, but internet posters in a pro-Crean comment section spell disaster. Hmm... Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Personally, I think this is a great read. http://www.indianapolismonthly.com/longform/throwing-in-the-chair-what-to-make-of-bob-knight/ Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app
