The higher ups don't understand a damn thing about winning or basketball... That's why we are in this mess.

Players disagree with each other. Maybe the case on this. Made that comment in the vein that, I'm not making crap up.

I didn't say I was right. I understand you have sources. I assume they didn't play for Crean.

Everyone sees what they want to see. Crean treats you like sh!t? He runs his teams too hard... Crean hasn't ever crossed you, his practices are fine. There are going to be cases on both sides. I choose to trust the opinion of a guy like Izzo, guy like Pitino. They know. They don't bullsh!t around.

He's demanding. That used to be a good thing... Only for certain coaches I suppose. Yes I have seen it. And heard about it on a daily basis the two years prior to this. They don't have 4 hour practices. There's so much misinformation on here and it just gets fueled. I'm not trying to battle or debate anyone. We all have no choice in the matter. He's either gonna stay or he's not. What I know is IU will get what it deserves.

Getting players is the name of the game. Ask Dane Fife about his X's and O's. Subbing... Criticizing that is so ridiculous. You are going to make sub mistakes in every single game that you coach. It's not that big of a problem... Maybe you guys have seen these coaches that never make mistakes, but I don't see them.

Uh, think we're already there. Unless you guys all woke up yesterday.

No question about that. What does that have to do with Crean's practices? Seems to me it's more about the dogs in the fight. Crean hasn't run them ragged. He never has... It's a story that has gotten around from other coaches in the business who use it against Crean in recruiting. You guys eat it up. All the coaches love Peegs because our fans will believe anything.

Let's complain all day about Crean running his team ragged... But let's press!! Do you guys see where I'm coming from with the cognitive blocks of IU fans? It's like Pavlov's dogs... Crean subs, it must have changed the course of the game and Indiana basketball history! Oh the humanity!

None of those things needed proving. He's a proven coach. That can't be argued. His coaching ability has been demonstrated... His fate is determined by results, bottom line. He's had four teams with a "normal" roster. Likely 3/4 NCAAs, two S16, a B1G title. Is that really mediocrity? IU better be careful. It could be a LOT worse than Tom Crean.

Think it's the former IU player coming out in him. He can say he doesn't care anymore but he does

So how long does the new coach get? 3 years or do you think 4? Serious question

Well you would be surprised then.

Apologizes. It's hard being the punching bag around here. Lol

Go beyond the obvious... Anyone can see what happens... But why, that's a little different. Don't get me wrong. The very nature of being a fan doesn't lead to good analysis. It's not anything new or unique to IU. We just all care more than most places.

I don't consider myself a part of Hoosier Nation. Winning isn't the most important thing to me. I don't care if we never win another title. I truly don't.

Not as a whole. I shouldn't have generalized; a segment, the vocal minority is what I meant.

Being critical requires an understanding of all the facts. Fans don't have all of the facts.

Being critical is different than complaining.

I might follow him... Indiana fans think they are so smart but I've only seen one group of people dumber than this.

Blackmon is going to be really, really good.

Anyone who actually boos, towards the coach or players, is a sad person. What does it accomplish besides nothing? There's only one way to make an impact. Don't go. Acting like an idiot just exposes you.

You're right. Go IU [attachment=1798:ImageUploadedByBtownBanners1425744285.990630.jpg]

I don't, and have never claimed to know more than anyone else here. I've stated there are some really really misinformed people here. But I don't appreciate your BS. Get on the bench, Laz
