In practice they shouldn't have a basketball out the rest of the year. Wall sits and shell drills the rest of the year.

sadly, strength and conditioning may be the only thing they actually learn. With 4 previous HCs on staff how does this team not learn fundamentals. It's baffling. Mixed signals? I have been on coaching staffs where the HC was a good manager of people and terrible in the sport. We always had to re coach his coaching points. It was confusing. But he was a good, respected leader. All the ACs knew the sport so well it worked.

Right....

That's how Coach Knight'd do it!

Crean had me at " it's Indiana, it's Indiana " but the last 3 years I have come to the reality with our situation. It's time to move on. The Marquette guys who would come over to our forums when we hired him tried to tell us what we were getting and many of us didn't want to listen. We play a matador defense that will never win big games! When Yogi's shots not falling from the outside, he has no leadership. Imo Crean will be fired by the end of the season. My only hope is we can get a coach who understands the game and represents us well.

If we have learned anything...it is that coaching matters (see Michigan football).

I know family ties sometimes blind us but Harbaugh did not let the fact that he did not have his guys keep them from making a lot of noise in football this year. I wonder what he was thinking while watching that game last night.

Random fan:  "Isn't Crean your brother-in-law?"

Harbaugh:  "Nope"

Just curious why you want shaw? I don't know much about him other than he got fired.

Indiana ties

NBA ties

Learned from the best , was a decent coach i thought in the NBA.

Young , better than Crean

I wonder that too, I kept thinking about it since my 49ers jersey was still frustratingly tossed behind the TV in drunken disappointment from Sunday. Jim hates to lose. He's a coach who would take it very personally and would do anything in his power to never have to experience a loss again. It's what made him hard to deal with for some people, it's what makes him an incredible coach.

 

How can someone like that stand to see this? How can his skin not crawl during the whole game?

Olay!!

I did notice he wore a subtle Duke shade of blue UM sweater too

I was never on board with firing him, willing to wait it out hoping he would turn it around.  I'm through waiting, time for a change.

Note to Self:  Do not take defense tips from Tommy.

@JonRothstein: Kelvin Sampson quietly has Houston at 5-0 overall. Next week is HUGE for the Cougars: at Rhode Island, home vs. LSU. The door is open.

Great coach. Terrible sense of right and wrong.

 

Also, with all due respect to what he's accomplished because, we sure haven't, but it's quiet because no one watches bad teams beat bad teams. That's why the stands were empty in the Hall on Monday.

@GoodmanESPN: My lessons learned from the Big Ten-ACC Challenge -- including Indiana being even worse defensively than I thought: https://t.co/qivOkQAIJa

Mixed signals from the same coach...

The actors/students that produce the "This is Indiana" vids feel so, well, unemployed!
