TOM CREAN FIRED

[coonhounds 8,787]

I agree with this, but that will mean we need more from OG and Morgan. OG is playing extremely well in his role, but I'm not sure if he's ready for 30 minutes a game. Hope I'm wrong!

Wish we would get a chance to find out if your wrong but I am really confident we wont

We better offer to double BSs salary.

Realistically, is BS even going to consider IU.. Ever?

Miller is in year 5. We don't know much about him other than he has had a couple of good runs in the NCAAs. After Creans first five years there was some similarities. Year 5 Crean won his first conference title and had DWade and the FF run.

Archie may not make s FF run but is ready to win his first conference title too. The gauge is what happens next for Archie. Does he have 5 following years where they finish 8th, 9th, 5th, 4th and 5th in his conference and only 1 NCAA win or does he stay at the top of his conference.

At the time Crean and Marquette were in the C-USA right? They had Louisville, Cincy and Memphis in there at the time. The A-10 isn't a bad conference. Dayton, VCU, Rhode Island, Saint Joe's, GW, Davidson. It isn't a powerhouse but those are teams that are tough.

Not in the time frame many on here are hoping for, imo. And beyond that is speculative but not completely baseless

Offer Stevens

 

9 Million a year.

 

Free tuition for his children at St Charles in Bloomington

 

Free Parking pass anywhere on campus

 

Free KOK T-Shirts

 

and offer to build his new house for free..

 

 

I think it's a solid offer.

I concur 100% and am glad to see others do as well. Outside of BS I don't think there is a slam dunk hire. If he wants to stay in the NBA, which I think he might, then I think this is a much harder search, whenever it happens, than many realize. The next hire has to be the right one, not necessarily the sexy one. I want to win games not the press conference.

Just wanted to give you props because this is such a great way to put it and I think everyone needs to see it for 2 reasons. First, so people don't go crazy if it's NOT Stevens and then panic when it's not someone we've all heard of; and second so people are patient with the end of season process because failing Stevens, there is no "slam dunk" guy out there.

It won't happen but I'm ready to live with some growing pains giving OG more minutes. The future is bright there.

I believe he would, but not for a couple seasons.

When Sabin was rumored to be looking at Texas the Bama boosters went and paid his house off. It works!

Everything about him is speculative, but there have been some things said by him over the years which indicate he might be interested in the Indiana job were it ever available.   If it's NOT available, he's not a candidate.  And he'll never say a word about it.   If it IS available sometime, I don't believe it's as big a reach as some people think it is.

That's not accurate.  Just because Troy losses minutes doesn't mean OG gets them all.  You spread it out to OG, JMor, Max, and Colin.  Troy hurts this team.  Good coaches know you play off of him on offense and allow him to drive into multiple defenders for an easy run out on offense.  On defense you run him around a bit and eventually he'll "squirrel!!" for a wide open look.  

[Alford Bailey 12,350]

I WANT Stevens but I will give my 100% support to any other hire til he proves me wrong. Did the same with Crean.

Yep I gave Crean 5 years before my support waned.

I think that's fair.

I said we'll need more from OG and Morgan. Beifeldt is already putting up great numbers. Colin has consistently delivered the same performs pretty much all year. We need increased production from OG and Morgan to replace Troy's points and rebounds.

I think there are solid coaches that we can get. Will they take us to the next level? Who knows at this point. I do think that one thing most fans are sure of is that Crean will not take us to that level. So I would rather give someone a chance then to see the same thing over and over.

Exactly. Its insane to do the same thing over and over and expect a different result.
