schoosier

He's 0-5 since second half with 2 not even being able to inbounds. He's our true biggest weakness and it's not close.

Damn good play at the end of 2OT. He dug deep down to page 297 of the playbook.

Glass will be discussing our tenacious 2-3 zone with Tom over their regular Thursday breakfast. "It finally paid off always saving your timeouts." "Can you say extension?"

I can't remember them being very cute either, but much better tonight.

Tom coaching for his career against Big 10 power Penn St.

Thomas throws it away and just stands there. Our biggest weakness, not playing hard all the time; in one play. On a better note, I'm digging the slow mo BTN on our cheerleaders. Miss that place.

I am finally believing the end is near. Looking back we all will have the definitive moment when we knew he wasn't gonna win big. Most will say it was the Syracuse massacre 5 long years ago; but the first 3 seasons of 6, 8 and 12 wins was fairly obvious. Forget the excuse we were a dumpster fire blah, blah. A better coach wins more then wins big by year 5. The seminal moment for me was beating Illinois and Crean ran out of Assembly Hall jumping up like we had won a NC. He became a cheerleader much like today. I also remember the spirited battles with PJurkin/ Boot of Doom and he has even come around. It's time to fire, resign, walk into the sunset or Big South and get us a real coach. Amen

Glass had the perfect opportunity to let Crean go when we had all the arrests. He was too busy discussing Crean's X's and O's and his fandom for Crean is obvious. These examples combined with his signing off on the worst contract extension in IU history shows he will never get us back to a national title. They both need to go.

Coach forgot about Davis?

It still hurts to watch what we are with Crean. I guess i just shouldnt care.

If we dont shoot well, this could get ugly.

Newkirk should never shoot.

OG's injury is tough to take, esp after viewing the teams walk thruo n the pregame. They were going full tilt all the while Crean stood at halfcourt with a demonic stare. Im not going to blame this on him, but not scaling back has been a constant critism.

2- 2 in last 4 vs Penn State. Im officially embarassed as an IU grad.

We just dont understand the basics of 5th grade defense. See the ball, stop the ball, block out. But we can turn it right over so we can play more of it.

The end of Villanova or Xavier are only 2 games to see he is light years beyond our current. He wouldn't be plan A but would be a high plan B.

Yes, when I use to watch his infamous post game pressers he would usually get upset normally after another loss when asked specifically about game flow or something not on his stat sheet recap. His standard reply was I will have to watch the tape. He did pull some kids out of a snow bank and once fed a homeless man a cheeseburger though.

Many say who else we gonna get or it has to be a home run hire. I say bull. I gave a viable list 50 pages ago and 2 are coaching in the NBA; 1 maybe not for long. There's a start with Hoiberg. Saban got his clock cleaned in the NFL which didn't scare Alabama granted he won a NC at LSU. Hell, give an upcoming D2 coach with Indiana ties a crack. Knight came from Army for God's sake but a damn good AD saw the promise and gave him a chance. The right coach could be the next one, and if it isn't; then the next one could be. But when the entire seating capacity in Assembly Hall collectively can see how horrible this product is, how freaking dumb or blind or stubborn can one AD be? This horrible decade of basketball must end with a whole new administration.

Next he could explain to them what the hell Crean is saying with all his "set" euphemisms. This mindset or this skill set blah blah blah. It's his way of camouflaging his utter lack of coaching acumin. A lot of us knew he was a poser from day 1 but we were labeled haters and told to wait til next year. The absolute writing on the wall was getting blasted by Syracuse and they're bum of a coach in 12 with absolutely the best team in the land with 5, 1000 point career scorers on that team. Cheater Boheim did to Crean what Knight did to him in 87. Crean will never again have that much talent nor will he hang a legit banner much less get us to a final four. He's a good person; just a horrible coach. And for not seeing that many years ago which is his job, Glass also needs to go.

I have said it before and this is all on Glass. Having been an Indiana graduate, he knows what the program is measured. Instead of next man up many years ago, he was busy deciphering Creans X's and O's and placating him. Look no more than Texas or Alabama football where you either win big or go coach somewhere else. We are the laughing stock of college basketball thanks to him and 2 other AD's before him. He needs to go just as much as Creans.

Funny we always thought it was the Grinch who had Creans number. Different coach same results.

Davis just got schooled by Happ much like Bryant. Wonder if it's because they're both coached the same bad way?

Kills me we get no respect at home. Goes back to Crean earning it. Clapping only gets you so far.

That may be true but he's the key to us having a good year. Is having him shoot 3s and playing 35' from the basket putting him in a position to succeed? I agree Davis needs more minutes plus I think McSwains physicality should garner him more minutes also.

Do we not have a play to get Bryant better looks? Do we not have a play when he gets double teamed every time he touches the ball to get the ball to an open teammate? Of course we don't. You can only put so many plays in a 500 page playbook. He's a good player but has to be put in a position to succeed; much like Happ.
