    Loving Jay Williams, such a barebones basketball guy. He strips down the entire IU team, and goes after the root of our problems. No leadership, no defensive fundamentals, and lacks fire.

    Blackmon may be the most overrated player I can recall ever coming out of high school.  Did Kentucky really offer him?

    LOVE what Jay Williams is saying!

    "There's a difference between playing hard, and playing hard and smart. And it seems fundamentally at times, Indiana has no clue defensively"

    Do you honestly believe what you just said? Because here you are in the FireTomCrean thread, whining about all the negative posts. 
     
    Then stay away from this thread. What is so hard for some of you guys to understand about this.

    He gets them prepared?   Really?   That's why we gave up 50 in the first half yesterday, right?   They're in great shape...but "prepaed?"   Disagree.
     
    He recruits like a boss?  Really?  A good recruiter builds teams that can succeed at a high level year after year.  Crean can get kids to say yes, but who has he recruited who can lead?  Who has he recruited that wants to defend?  Who has he recruited that is good off the ball and does little things that make a team better?  He had a team that won the Big Ten 2 years ago, and then finished 8th and 7th.  Where was the "recruiting like a boss" then?   Vonleh didn't give a damn and didn't want to be here.  He was a bad fit.
     
    There's a difference between being a good recruiter and getting kids to say yes.  I don't need to re-hash this anymore, but if people can't see the pattern by now, it doesn't matter.

    I'm only 29 years old and in my entire lifetime I have witnessed just two deep tournament runs. Pretty sad. One of the guys who works with me witnessed all 3 of Knights championships. He tells me all the time, that he feels terrible for the younger generations bc we will likely never get to enjoy Indiana Basketball the way they did. I'm beginning to lose hope and that's a bad sign for our program. The leadership has beaten me into submission.

    I understand what you mean, but I don't think he played that great. Hurt us on defense, rebounding, and took bad shots at the end when we had to get quality shots.

    I was hoping Troy and JBJ got benched, and glad it happened. I think every time JBJ or Troy has a bad turnover, they should get pulled. I understand some turnovers, but theirs are the WORST!

    It's early in the season after two highly disappointing and frustrating seasons in a row. People were on the ledge prior to signing Thomas Bryant, and then again when we had three players kicked off the team, we finally just settled in, and Crean loses to a bottom feeder in a tournament we all had expections of potentially winning. I'm not writing this season off, but I'm sick of watching us pull shit like this three years in a row now. I can absolutely see this team having a great season, but no one has any patience left for what happened yesterday after the past two seasons.

    Crimson and Cream reacted to KingPG21 in Maui misery thread. Consolation game vs ST Johns   
    Its got to do with the issues that have persisted throughout Crean's tenure, lack of a consistent low post presence on both ends, the crap defense, the poor play designs out of timeouts that are getting to people. Its the consistently losing to teams that are far less talented than our opponents and you can see things that are easily fixable being the reason. Again, I'm sounding like a broken record at this point, just because people are being critical of the players or coach that doesn't count as bashing.

    So I don't remember who said it here, but they were dead on when they said having the fans be apathetic towards the current state of the program is worse than having fans be pissed at the current state of the program. At least the pissed fans care

    That is clearly the flip side as well. Indiana could have lost to Southern Illinois pretty easily and that could have put a complete damper on the entire season.
