I keep hearing everyone say we are stuck with Crean. We don't have to be. Stop going to the games. Literally, empty half of Assembly Hall for these conference games and watch him be gone by end of season. Problem is, Crean has us all by the balls because we know more than likely he has a run up his sleeve. We know he is going to make some noise again soon and we are all going to be tuned in and hollaring along. That is the saga with Crean at the helm... and I don't know what to do about it anymore.

Crean calls a timeout, down 14, to stop momentum Pitino calls a timeout, up 8 points, to stop a 6 point IU run I rest my case, your honor... Sent from my SCH-I545 using BtownBanners mobile app

Yep, I keep saying it. Stop going to the games people. U want change? It's the only way. Sent from my SCH-I545 using BtownBanners mobile app

Like seriously. The fans aren't even booing the players. IU fans know poorly coached in-game calls. They also booed audibly when Crean put Newkirk back after we went on a run early in 2nd half. Sent from my SCH-I545 using BtownBanners mobile app

Lol newkirk.. good fouls dude. Has the bball iq of a freshman in high school Sent from my SCH-I545 using BtownBanners mobile app

Couldn't agree more. Just realized I was typing on here for 2 mins of gameplay that I wasn't watching lol Sent from my SCH-I545 using BtownBanners mobile app

U just gotta laugh at the 4 corners offense. Reminds me of when we used to kill people with it my sophomore year in high school. Queue the full court press with 2 mins left. Creanisms.. Sent from my SCH-I545 using BtownBanners mobile app

I realize Blackmon is an elite shooter who isn't being utilized correctly (iu Charlie makes a good point) but he is a cancer on this team. That's just my opinion. Insanely obvious he is playing to show NBA skills instead of doing the things to make his team win. Sent from my SCH-I545 using BtownBanners mobile app

Lol, blackmon displaying ball handling skills and looks off Bryant standing wide open for the 3. Sent from my SCH-I545 using BtownBanners mobile app

The team is beat with 4 mins left. U can already see it. It isn't really the Cards defense. We've had insane amount of open 3s Sent from my SCH-I545 using BtownBanners mobile app

This times 100.. this is the difference between Crean and Pitino. PITINO calls a timeout while UP 8 on a 6 point Hoosier run. That's a real bball coach (ethics aside) Sent from my SCH-I545 using BtownBanners mobile app

Baha.. now ur going to use a timeout Crean? Sent from my SCH-I545 using BtownBanners mobile app

Another classic Crean - box and 1 confuses the Cards for 2 straight possessions.... and let's go back to man Sent from my SCH-I545 using BtownBanners mobile app

How does Crean not call a timeout.. I just don't get it. 2 big guys dribbling out top and all guards underneath. This dudes game plan is busted Sent from my SCH-I545 using BtownBanners mobile app

Wow.. Rojo is our unquestioned leader.. that's obvious now. He's put the team on his back a few times now.. I like it.. Sent from my SCH-I545 using BtownBanners mobile app

"Point guard by committee" aka Crean making up a term for his and his staff's lack of recruiting priority. New wrinkle looks great out there.. Sent from my SCH-I545 using BtownBanners mobile app

I can't believe McSwain tried to check in with no shirt on... this dude flat out was in warm ups like "nah, I ain't playing today, screw it" then got super rushed when Crean told him to check in lollzzz Sent from my SCH-I545 using BtownBanners mobile app

Haha. Way to have the guys prepared again Crean. Barely fighting through half the screens. On the opposite end, we are so bad at setting screens. Just jack up 3s and disregard all 10 foot jumpers. Rack, 3 or turnover.. there is no mid range option anymore even though there are holes EVERYWHERE Sent from my SCH-I545 using BtownBanners mobile app

Like I said, Crean treats that last foul just like the last timeout. It's going to the bus. It's ABSURD he won't let a player foul out. Especially the one with the hot hand. It's my #1 pet peeve about Crean. He'd rather play McRoberts to avoid the risk of Rojo fouling out. I can't stand it. Sent from my SCH-I545 using BtownBanners mobile app

WE ARE SO BAD AT DEFENSE!! lol So so bad.. The only slice of hope I have here is that this game is our "duke" game. I'm pretty sure we will beat Louisville and Wisky and then lose to Rutgers. Isn't that Creans M.O.? Sent from my SCH-I545 using BtownBanners mobile app

I'm up for scraping Newkirk at point and letting Greene just get the jitters out of his system Sent from my SCH-I545 using BtownBanners mobile app

Same.. we both knew this was coming. When u love IU bball to ur core, not having hope is just not an option. Sent from my SCH-I545 using BtownBanners mobile app

The overall team just looks to have a very low iq. Let's see, who are the heady players on this team? Rojo, De'ron, Juwan... Definitely not Blackmon or Newkirk.. Bryant is charged but I'm not sure I'd consider him as high iq.. We have NO ONE on this team who can control the team. I'd say Rojo but it's just not his personality. Blackmon is still just out here trying to get his. You can tell that every time he has the ball in his hands. He is looking for nothing else. I'm so aggravated lol Sent from my SCH-I545 using BtownBanners mobile app

Im done...I'm done with terrible track records outside of being a "giant killer" at home. This has turned into us being some kind of 2nd tier program who a reputation as "big programs better watch out for"... it's kind of a joke, us being IU and all... He needs to go quickly before recruiting takes a hit and we spend 3 or 4 years down and out trying to rebuild again. Sent from my SCH-I545 using BtownBanners mobile app

Apathy.. this team does not excite me. It's not this game. I almost skipped the butler game, watched this one late.. didn't even watch the last 2 cupcakes. You can tell this team doesn't have it. Glad I skipped overtime to watch Newkirk continue to be a hot mess. Who cares if he had "11 assists" against one of the worst d1 teams. Seriously, who cares. I'll be honest, even OG looks a little lazy at times. This team hasn't bought what Crean is selling. Just like timeouts, Crean takes player fouls to the bus. The team is spiraling out, leave Rojo who is on fire, in the freaking game.. I mean, he is honestly our #2 defender behind OG afterall Sent from my SCH-I545 using BtownBanners mobile app
