TOM CREAN FIRED

[Dalton26 16,909]

You don't want to be challenged on your opinion? Fine.

That's not what he was saying and you know it. It's the fact that when we win you have people that want to come to this thread to talk shit, yet when we lose if they go to a game thread or something like that and do the same people want to throw a bitch fit. It's a double standard. If posters don't want them complaining in other threads then don't come to a thread like this one after a win just to stir the pot.

Earlier in thread talked about next years potential lineup;

IMO, I have two scenarios
Newkirk
JBJ
RoJo
OG
Bryant
-------
RoJo
JBJ
Troy
OG
Bryant

I believe Bryant is staying, and if Troy leaves we'll go back to the CTC 3 guard lineup.

Great defensive plan by CTC tonight, wishing he would call TO's late in the game though. Tough to watch last 5-7mins.

You obviously don't know much about my posting history if you think I've never said anything good.

Is it April 1st?! This is rich!

Crean came up with a great game plan against their bigs. This along with our few turnvers and their terrible 3 shooting early was the difference. Blowing a 19 point lead and Yogi jacking up the late 3 was tough to watch, but Crean deserves credit with this win. The play after timeout with OG dunking may have been his here at Indiana, so I definately see improvement. I want deep tourney runs to make me feel even better.

Yes I support getting rid of him

That's not what he was saying and you know it. It's the fact that when we win you have people that want to come to this thread to talk ****, yet when we lose if they go to a game thread or something like that and do the same people want to throw a ***** fit. It's a double standard. If posters don't want them complaining in other threads then don't come to a thread like this one after a win just to stir the pot.

Nah, I disagree with you. Read some of my posts in here. I'm very much willing to agree with a lot of the complaints, but I find that some people want this to be a "safe zone" for unchallenged opinions. Also, if you look at the game threads, you'll see a healthy mix of compliments and criticisms, and most seem to agree with both sides of the argument.

Finally, a lot of winning is happening, so this thread would be pretty boring if there weren't some challenging posts made :)

[Walking Boot of Doom 18,170]

He had a great game plan on their bigs as well as how to attack their bigs on the other end. However, down the stretch the team and coach struggled. We left shooters WIDE open and we didn't do anything to stop momentum. I'm completely baffled as to why we haven't seen a good timeout used after he used it so well against Michigan (another compliment).

His use of timeouts seems to be COMPLETELY newfound this year. I've seen a few good ones sporadically, but there have been so many times where you wonder why he doesn't call one.

Mods have every right to respond. We're just posters like anyone else here. We bite our tongues more often than not....

See here is the issue. He came in here with a clear issue with the thread and started going after certain posters. That totally isn't okay, whether you're a mod or not.

Crean improves to 5-8 against Purdue

I think most back and forth in threads start that way. We just need to rename the thread to give you guys what you want.

[mdn82 25,747]

You guys know the reason we made this "safe haven" was due to firing Crean coming up in every thread. We could have a thread on puppies and it would evolve into firing Crean. That said when this was created it was for back and forth. It wasn't so one side could post viewpoints without retort. If you guys don't want discussion and just want to blog your feelings then we need to change the title. What you guys want is a blog to post your feelings and then only want people that agree with you posting in here. That is not what this is about. I actually agree with some of the issues Brass posted, but at the same time you don't want anything up for discussion. I am surprised that you guys are surprised after beating PU people would question this being the first place to post. What do you guys really want?

CTC'S coaching last night was pretty damned good

I think there was both good and bad. He adjusted into the double team down low that Purdue had trouble with. I think that was really the move of the game. Clock or game management in the last 7:00 of the game left a lot to be desired.

People that don't have any actual comments to add to stay away from the thread. Seriously, Wayne had nothing to add to this thread, yet he felt the need to come here and go after Brass, and then he went after JS to an extent. It is ******* ridiculous the amount of people that absolutely hate this thread, have nothing to add to this discussion yet still feel the need to post here.

 

Honestly the only reason I think you're defending him to this extent is the fact that he is a mod like yourself. You never defended Bicep to this extent, despite neither one of them adding anything to the actual conversation. There is a respectable way to go about coming to this thread and saying what you're going to say, Walking Boot does it every single time he comes here. But coming here and just calling out a comment is ridiculous, then saying that a poster, JS, doesn't post anything but negative comments, which isn't true, is equally ridiculous. Wayne never added anything to this conversation, yet felt the need to post here.

His exact stream of comments. He added nothing to the conversation. If he had actually said something it would be different. But he didn't

[FortWayneHoosier 6,403]

Dude all you fools in this thread only come and complain never have anything good to say about this program go back in your hole until we lose......


I hate the people that just complain about everything

You forgot this one kingpg21

Dude why does EVERYTHING go back to being about a mod???? I am as annoyed with that than anything on this board?

Is that really all you got out of that entire comment? Okay, makes sense. Guess it is cool he didn't add anything to the conversation, might as well keep defending him.

Yes because that is the go to for EVERYONE... Also I have posted a couple things you didn't seem to gather anything from other than me defending him because he is a mod...
