2 B10 titles and 3 Sweet 16’s in 5 years isn’t successful? DELUSIONAL

old age man, maybe spell check, my bad Maybe you’ll be alive to see IU win a national title in basketball one day. All three I attended were equally exciting. Keep Demanding better though, your crusade is working.

Wrong. I argued that Woodson deserved a 4th year to right the ship after making the tournament years 1 and 2. Get your facts straight. He flopped with a $6mil roster and I was other same line with you clowns calling for a change.

Kentucky fans soon about to find out what it means to run off a successful coach. Like us, they deserve everything they get.

Also had beaten top 5 Kansas and eventual national champion UNC

There it is. Championship or bust. DEMUSIONAL

You’re more level headed than most. If OG doesn’t blow out his knee and IU subsequently makes the tournament like they would have, not even the looniest of fans are calling for his head. Bottom line is that the IU brass never forgave Crean for 2013 and 2016 finally gave them an out. Not unexpected with a delusional bunch.

Let me know when DeVries wins a B10 title, let alone two

Running off your most successful coach in 20 years who achieved real tangible results is a sure fire way to continue to stay irrelevant. We deserve everything we get going forward.

This idea that Crean had to go because nobody wanted to play for him is a myth. Several top 100 players were either on the roster or committee to play for Crean when he was fired. He literally signed the #1 recruit in the country while at Georgia. Stop with the pontificating BS that nobody wanted to play for Crean and that’s why he was fired.

More trivial nonsense. Crean had several top 100 players both on the roster and committed when was fired.

Yeah I’m sure all these anonymous coaches have been lining up for the IU opening seeing it’s been open several times the last decade.

Again, relevancy to his tenure at IU?

How many “not very good coaches” win multiple B10 titles and reach multiple S16’s in a 5 year span? This is the delusional expectations of the fan base speaking out loud. He was a horrible fit at Georgia. Nothing more, nothing less.

The assumption that Crean would have gone 15-57 in the B10 had he been retained is just preposterous. He had a ranked team and was well on his way to making his 5th tournament in 6 years until OG blew out his knee. He likely would have retained Blackmon for his senior year who had no interest in playing in Archie’s system along with Robert Johnson and upperclassman Juwan Morgan. Extrapolating Crean’s years at Georgia to Indiana is effing STUPID.

I’ll likely be dead in 10 years and you losers will still be on here crying and wondering why IU can’t hire a coach.

It’s exactly why no coach worth a salt will touch this job.

If Tom Crean went 15-57 in the same time at IU then by all means fire him and don’t let him back on campus. But we fired him after winning 2 B10 titles and reaching the S16 three different times in a six year span. DELUSIONAL

Again, who cares? Tom Crean’s record at a football school in the middle of a dynasty pre-NIL or portal is IRRELEVANT. What was Thad Matta’s record after he left Ohio State?

Uh no. It’s this idiotic generation of IU fans (who weren’t even alive when IU was a power) that have decided winning conference championships and reaching the second weekend is beneath current day IU, who is a shell of its former self. And for the under 30 crowd, yikes…it’s only going to get worse.

You are correct. The IU basketball program I grew up with in the 70’s and 80’s is long gone. Dead and never coming back. That’s been established for well over 20 years. Will still always root for my Alma Mater and hope they win every game. Two things can be true.

Of course not, he’s at a better job, as would have been the case with IU and Michigan being open at the same time two years ago. I’ve been an IU fan longer than you’ve been alive. Not something you can just walk away from.

May could have had the job THIS year had he wanted it or simply waited out the Woodson experiment that everyone knew was on borrowed time. He chose to go to Michigan that shares every resource IU has and likely then some without a delusional or toxic fan base. Have heard from a very reliable source that he had no desire to put his immediate and extended family through a potentially very ugly scene had things not worked out here, as many still live in the area.

Yep the list goes on. Dusty May, Brad Stevens, Billy Donovan, Bruce Pearl, Scott Drew. All guys that would crawl to Bloomington. Delusional.

Because this program has been utter dog doo since we decided that winning B10 titles and reaching the S16 wasn’t good enough.
