weaverswonders6 Posted February 23, 2017 Posted February 23, 2017 We'll lose so many sweet memes if he's no longer here, plus the big and tall store will lose one more customer for their dress slacks. Lord knows that must be where he buys em. WayneFleekHoosier, ALASKA HOOSIER, HoosierAloha and 1 other 4 Quote
TrueHoosier62 Posted February 23, 2017 Posted February 23, 2017 I think Tom Crean should be retained as coach, if only for his entertainment value and comic ability. Indeed, (and I mean this with all my heart), if the whole world were a circus, Tom Crean would be its #1 Clown. That’s hard to replace. ALASKA HOOSIER 1 Quote

I know it is stupid but it really gets to me that he is constantly wearing blue…. I know it doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things and most may trash me for this but it absolutely drives me crazy game in and game out.

I'd be willing to say the Mike Davis years were much harder than the Crean tenure Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners All but a handful since the General have been bad. Davis ending, Sampson getting fired before the end of year, and Creans decade have been a wasteland for Indiana basketball. The lows >highs. ALASKA HOOSIER 1 Quote
Double Down Posted February 25, 2017 Posted February 25, 2017 We'd lose the most gangster of all coaches on the sidelines. You can't even debate that one of these things is not like the other. ALASKA HOOSIER, recker222000, Hoosier Guy and 1 other 4 Quote

Adillac Posted February 25, 2017 Posted February 25, 2017 Deflections. Double Down and ALASKA HOOSIER 2 Quote
Double Down Posted February 25, 2017 Posted February 25, 2017 I have to say, more than anything, every time I hear the word "deflections," I laugh. I remember hearing it the first time, and my eyes crossed. Now, I admit, I'm a simple guy. So my simple brain needs simple things to understand. So, it could be that this is some advanced way of thinking beyond my comprehension. Here are some of "my simple brain" stats that I'd like to measure and discuss with my team and the press after the game: 1) Number of times defender keeps ball carrier in front of him 2) Number of times defender closes out a shooter with hands up/Number of times defender closes out a shooter (This number should always equal 1 unless you have a defender with no arms) 3) Number of inbounds plays that go to your team/Number of times you inbound the ball (This number should always equal 1, especially after a time out...see #4) 4) Number of times someone jacks up an off balance 3 with 1 sec left on the shot-clock after a time out/Number of plays run after a time out (this number should always equal 0) I'm sure you folks can come up with a bunch more. But I'm a simple guy. I keep it simple. HoosierAloha, johnsoniu, ALASKA HOOSIER and 1 other 4 Quote
Brass Cannon Posted February 25, 2017 Posted February 25, 2017 Deflections are an interesting stat but they are over simplified like many basketball stats. And the core problem with them is I have seen us have 3 on one possession the give up a wide open 3. What's the point? Double Down, Hoosierfan2017 and Class of '66 Old Fart 3 Quote

Being a guy who considers himself stylish, how would any legitimate player agree to come play for a guy who would show up to practice or go in public like this. I'm totally not trying to be shallow, but if you look at modern society (especially sports) all the best dress a certain way-- he doesn't fit the mold. If ANY coach came to me looking like this I would automatically disqualify him. Nasty ALASKA HOOSIER 1 Quote

Gotta say,that is pretty much how I have felt the past four years. I can watch stress free now. I always expect to lose in crunch time by turning the ball over, no matter how big our lead is. When we win it's like getting a bonus at work that I wasn't expecting. ALASKA HOOSIER 1 Quote
