[quote name="HoosierReb01" post="47635" timestamp="1394834745"]Which coach? I doubt its quite the terrible proposition you think it is. Whom they hire would determine whether they start over with a unproven or slightly proven coach. The stability issue is a big one, but the problem many people have is not the win-loss record this year, but persistent deficiencies in his coaching and philosophy. So most fans probably want stability in the head coaching position, but not necessarily at the expense of solid coaching. And that's the crossroads I am seeing a lot of IU fans at, they just don't believe in CTC. They like what he done while he was there, they like his integrity, they like a lot of things about him, they just don't believe him the head coach of the future, and as such are not interested in just keeping CTC for the sake of stability.[/quote] Sadly this is how I feel. He is a great guy and I really want him to succeed. I don't even have problems if he has a off year coaching wise. I just think, and I maybe wrong, that he's not willing to change or adjust at all. I feel all of us should from time to time eat a piece of humble pie and better ourselves. It's on Crean to do that next year. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

I like how you phrased this.  

I agree if indeed something is happening, I would hope we could keep it in house.  

Wow.

This is very true.  The key would be, and I know Woodson is smart enough to get this is that he would need an assistant that's very connected to the Indiana High School scene.  

As a Knicks fan I can see our stupid owner hiring Calipari, but I would hope that Coach Phil Jackson is smart enough to hire someone else.  

What Stuhoo said.  

Supposedly the difference between sources  from regular people and news organizations is that reporters usually have to report their sources to their editors to see if their stories hold water.  I'm not sure about sports editors though.     Edit: However, being a New Yorker the Daily News is tough to gage.  They had reputable journalists like Mike Lupica, but they also had their share of tabloid hunters as well.

From X's and O's perspective does anyone feel he can Coach a great game?  Remember the NBA is completely different from the college game.  Saban was a horrible NFL coach but excelled in college football.  Also Steve Spurrior.   I wonder if he could recruit.  

You guys are just playing for second place. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

The question mark for next season(if Vonleh stays) is how much more are we actually going to improve with Johnson and Blackmon on board? If we can't control our turnover issue then I don't see a big change. Maybe a tournament team but I feel we should strive for so much more at this time. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Welp this wasn't one of our finer seasons.  

The three free throws is a disturbing trend to our season.

Man if Williams can shoot a better percentage at three point line teams better watch out.  

I better ditch my vodka in my coffee mug.  MIght go down a slippery slope so far.  

Not the best of starts.

Man I got the nerves.  Hid vodka in my coffee in my coffee mug to ease the stress. Heheheh

This is how I feel as well.  We know they are capable of it by winning against Michigan, Ohio State, and Iowa, but can they do little things throughout the course of the game to win it.  Big mystery.  

Oh I know.  Just thinking it might get ugly.  I went to a Philly game once.  I was at the bleachers and a fan through a dirty diaper at my direction.  A dirty diaper.   Mets won though.  

Does anyone else feel we can surprise some people and go deep in the Big ten Tournament?  I think we might surprise some people.  

LOL and so it begins.  

Mets fan.  You know I'm loyal to my team because well being a Mets fan right now means you have nothing to brag about.  

Glad to see there back to there winning ways.  I was really concerned there at the beginning of the season.  Going back to Omaha would really solidify our program as the elite program in our conference.  

Also missed the community feel from HSN.  Hope to get that back as well.  

Someone in the 247 board linked it up thought I would join. Hope to engage in more objective banter.
