TOM CREAN FIRED

[coonhounds 10,138]

Well, the only good thing is i'm pissed again! Three weeks ago I didn't give a damn!

Same here. The bad thing about getting excited again is it sucks worse when games like this happen

[HoosierAloha 30,100]

Ahhh it's time to get the thread back into action.


Those subs....

That out of bounds play...

Troy Williams even being in the game.....

 

Why does Troy have such a difficult time staying on his feet and holding onto the ball?  He seems to slip and slide more than any other player I can recall.  Does he just have bad balance or no traction on his shoes?

[coonhounds 10,138]

If crean don't get his butt on radio I vote to fire him now

[8bucks 7,052]

I don't think this game in itself is at all worthy of fire Crean memes. But I am watching closely. We have beat the doormats now it's time to show us something else. We will get answers over next month.

I agree. Have been saying we have finally have a year where we play better/overachieve. This was test 1 and we failed. Many more tests upcoming but they get harder.

IMHO, Troy moves to fast for his own feet. When he is under control he is great, when he's not, he sucks, a lot.

At least if he wants to go fast why not try to just dunk everything then

Doesn't he?

[cjvz20 896]

Not lately he missed I think three layups that it would try to dunk probably would've got fouls called. I'm not a fan of him ever having the ball at top of key or running the pg. I don't understand why Crean thinks it such a good idea either. I have seen that crossover into a turnover too much

I listened to creans radio post game and I am drinking the crean cola. We are going to get better and we learned alot. I feel better now.

God bless you.  Crean "says" a lot.  Problem is, when his teams lose, it's almost always for the same reasons.  Like IU football for years, I am not interested one bit in what Tom Crean "says."  He needs to improve, just like his players do; and the fact still is, Indiana has not beaten an NCAA Tournament quality team this season (maybe ND.  Maybe.), and has lost to a now 10-10 team, a now 12-9 team, a now 12-8 team, and gotten pounded by the only really good team on their schedule.

 

As good as they've looked, the question still is "against who?"  Lots of work to do on the resume....and that comes from the "experts" who said as much before the Minnesota game.  One had IU as a 10 seed, and another in a play-in game.  They said their next opportunity to help themselves was next week at Michigan, and now we have another loss to a struggling team with one "quality" win, and had ND not beaten Duke, I'm not sure we'd have any.  ND lost to Monmouth!!  

 

Indiana has lots of work to do.

The highest ranked braketologists have Indiana in as a solid 7-8 seed. Still not what we should expect. One thing is for certain. We are either going to REALLY bolster our resume here in Feb, or we are going to have a bad skid, typical of Crean teams late, and we could go into March without having beat anyone worth a damn. Every.single.year....Fans and the national media get tricked into believing Indiana, under Crean, is a national contender. I've said it before....This thread is a long way from being gone and it's not bc the fanbase is being irrational.

Does it taste like Diet Coke or that green crap from a couple years ago?

Pretty much. I think we somehow make the dance, gets trounced first round and we are right back here next January talking about the same crap.

tastes like bs. He did mention we had some guys under the weather like some other posters had wondered in the game thread. Hopefully that played a big role in our bad play last night

That was bugging me during the game and ever since. With how hush he and the staff are about injuries (we need informants on campus to know who's wearing das boot), the fact he gave that info out so openly makes it feel like a cop out for any lack of performance or if ctc's amazing strategies didn't pan out.

momouth isn't a bad loss. They have a rpi of 37 ( 5 spots better than iu ). They beat ucla on the road and USC on a neutral court along with their win against notre dame. They also have 3 bad losses to sub 200 rpi teams. Most of those experts have them in the field as an at -large team. I've seen about 6 times this year and they are a good not great team. Their bench gets more publicity then their team on the court which is too bad

They play in the MAAC.  Their head coach has a losing career record.  USC also beat them by 11 (why have they played them twice?).  They also lost to Cannisius.   They might have a decent team, but you and I both know had they beaten Indiana and not Notre Dame, everybody here, including you, would call it a horrible loss that never should have happened.  When you're Notre Dame.  When you're Indiana.  When you're UCLA.  Losing to a MAAC team..losing to Monmouth is a bad loss.

usc beat them at home and then they played them in s pre season tournament that's why they played them 2. we can just disagree on part of this because I don't care where a team plays in conference if a team is good then they are good. We lost last year to MVC team in the tounament. Since whicita st played in MVC should they be considered a bad loss. Momouth also lost to army on the road this year as well. A bad loss to me is any team with an rpi over 100. Our loss to Unlv was a worst loss the losing to momouth or a loss to Oklahoma st would be a worst resume lost then losing to momouth. But this is just my opinion, If we would of loss to them on a neutral court my knee jerk reaction would of course been it's a bad loss but if they turned out to be a top 30 or 40 rpi team I would reevaluate the situation. Kind of like last year when we lost to eastern Washington but they turned out to be a solid team ( still shouldn't of lost at home but i think you get my point)
