    Tom Crean Update from Fred Glass

    If Glass thinks Crean is the man for the job, it  makes me wonder if the idiot would be able to hire a good coach in the first place. At least with another less then stellar season they both would be gone, and someone else can choose the next coach. I'm tired of this passive &%$.  Were Hoosiers people, we strive to be the best, not settle to be mediocre.

    Hoetzel to transfer

    Noooooo. I thought this kid with a little bit of more muscle could have been our glue guy.  I'm very saddened by this.

    End of year grade?

    I give them a C .  We made the tournament but I felt that if if we had inkling of defense we could have easily had an A season   What grade would you give this year's team and what is your reasoning? I have a feeling we might apply a curve.

    Thoughts on WSU Coach Gregg Marshall

    They hustle and play smart. I'm ok if we chose him as our next coach.

    Is IU Content to be Little Engine that Could?

    I think the problem we have is the generation of fans, who have no idea how it felt to be a power program. That leads us to be too content, and let things go. We need more objectivity from people.  People need to realize that you can be critical and still be a fan if your objective.  Blind loyalism gets you nowhere but contentment.     I also think it's partly the media's fault.  I think reporters based in Indiana are too afraid to ask the tough questions because Coach Crean and the administration are too obstinate.  I think there all afraid the administration will take away their press passes ( especially for bloggers like ITH).  If we have no voice to keep the administration honest, then the administration will keep making poor decisions (aka, picking 3 consecutive bad coaches, are other sports programs are losing, and handing out bad contracts). I honestly feel the IU Athletics department is in a "let them eat cake" mentality. The infrastructure has to change, but we as alumni or fans are afraid to start trouble.   
  7. If we win its going to be through our athleticism and our ability to hit our free throws when we drive to the basket.
  8. Wichita state have good fundamentals.

    Potential fallout from coaching change

    Open your eyes and look at the film. Even with their losses they look fundamentally sound. When they played Kentucky last they played, they just couldn't match up athletically. All his team lacks is athletic ability and that should be resolved if he brings in recruits who want to go to a higher profile school. If we beat him look at the game objectively. You'll notice that whenever IU goes for a shot a man will be there to front them. Look how they pass the ball in their offensive sets to create shots. It's not as simple as winning or losing when u coach in a non power conference. Not saying that's who I want but he would be better then coach Crean .
  11. Did we do enough to impress the selection crew?

    you have to admit it's a well coached game on both fronts.
  14. So glad . I was so afraid of a let down after coach smith left.

    BOOOOOOOOO Boilers!

    uhhhhhhh no.
  16. I don't remember ever watching such a horrid defense.  The zone is useless. We don't shift to cover the open three.  Etc, etc.  What do you guys think?
  17. God I hope so.  Those boys looked good.  I think if we play man to man all bets are off.  You think Coach Crean will change?

    Indiana vs Northwestern Post Game Thread

    All I ever wanted was for the kids to play tough and with passion. Today we did that. No more zone, no more zone! Vive le Hoosiers!
  19. I really hope we play this way even when we play a Michigan State or Wisconsin. You can see the players are more excited as well.

    PM's

    PM me please. Thanks in advance.
  21. At least we kept it close enough to make Bryant and Maker think that they could make a huge difference if they come in.   
  22. At least they are fighting.  I just want the kids to care.  They just need better coaching.  
  23. They are playing with us.
