2017 NIT Selection Show - ESPNU 8:30pm
Hoosierfan2017 replied to hoosierdogg's topic in Indiana Men's Basketball
I hope the freshmen get a lot of run during the NIT. It doesn't matter and it would give them some good experience. -
Given what we know about what actually happened it was definitely an overboard punishment. Kid basically got thrown off the team for having some booze on him.

Game Thread: Indiana vs Wisconsin (Tonight @ 6:30PM on BTN)

I think there will be a lot of change this offseason. There should be good times ahead for us. I feel not wanting to watch games with fans from other teams so hard. I had to watch the NBA finals alone in my room last summer because my roommates were all rooting for Golden State. I can't handle it lol. -

Hope there are no hard feelings man. I tried to keep it out of the game threads as much as possible but I know I've failed at it. Just hard for me to keep it all separated. If he's back next year I won't waste the time/energy hoping for L's every game. I'll accept the situation and find another way to spend my time. -
This is the Harry Giles I've been waiting for.

And that's a wrap. Good luck in Columbia Tommy.

I've never seen a team get so many shot clock violations. I don't understand it. -

Well if we win tonight it's more than likely the case that he's back next year, and then we won't be winning many games once the cupcakes are out of the way. -

Do you want another year of Crean's coaching? -

Do you think it's never okay or just not okay in situations like this? -
Yeah Alford wouldn't be among my top choices, but if it came down to keeping Crean or bringing in Alford I would go with the latter. We know what Crean can do as a coach and we know it's not good enough. Alford's postseason resume isn't great but I like what he's doing at UCLA. Maybe it has more to do with the school and less to do with him, but they're in a good place regardless. I think he would be able to recruit well.

If there's anyone wth the personality to hold a grudge for that long it's Bob Knight. It doesn't surprise me at all that he has for all these years. I laughed out loud when I listened to him say that he hopes they're all dead though. Not because it's a funny thing to say but because it's exactly the kind of thing I would expect from him. -

If you were one of the best in the history of your profession, led your company to the most successful years in its history, and were then fired I imagine you would be pretty upset. I know that I would, and I think I would carry that grudge for a long time. I'm not arguing one way or the other about whether he deserved to be fired. I just don't think it's that crazy that he's still mad 17 years later. -
He's like one of those characters in the movies who open up their closets and have 10 sets of the exact same outfit.

Hoosierfan2017 replied to IU Hoosier41's topic in Indiana Men's Basketball
I'm not sure that's really an apples to apples comparison though.. There are numerous reasons for people to not like Bob Knight, I just don't think this is one of them. -
I'm worried about us going on a run in the BTT because the Big Ten sucks this year. When we hit shots like we did last night there isn't a team in the conference that scares me. A good week of basketball isn't worth another season like this one, imo, and I think that's exactly what we'll get if we win it. Glass won't fire him if we win the BTT so we'd have to count on Crean leaving on his own. 9 years of Crean have taught me to never count on him when we need him the most.

Oh my god that's some crap right there!!!

Crean staying for another year would be a bigger loss than anything that could happen on the court. I'll take the small L's to stay away from the huge one.

We don't really have anything to move on to though. I think people keep hanging on to him because since he's been gone IU has been mediocre. During times like this people long for the better days, and Coach Knight was those better days. -

To be fair it's not really his fault that fans keep expecting him to come back to Assembly Hall. It's not like he's all like "maybe I'll come back, maybe I won't, wait and see!" and keeping everyone in limbo. The university told him to get out and that's exactly what he has done. -

Hoosierfan2017 replied to IU Hoosier41's topic in Indiana Men's Basketball
I actually loved the comments. I don't think any of us can begin to understand how he feels, and I think saying he needs to just get over it is off base. -
Yup. There's nothing in the world that could change my mind on Crean. He's not the guy for the job and never will be. Also I'm not sold on him being this "great guy". I'm sure he's nice when he's interacting with fans around town, but there are too many stories about him being a real jerk for me to come to a conclusion.
