Hovadipo Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 What's the main sport at IU and the money maker? If he fails the basketball program he is failing the University. Along with the football situation that just happened he is not looking as strong as he was last year.How has he failed the basketball program..?Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners Quote

Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Arizona St is a strong baseball program but walking away from a team you just took to the college World Series would be hard. I just think most all of his coaching decisions are very questionable. Quote
Class of '66 Old Fart Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 Juwan Morgan: "We didn't come out ready." Isn't that basically what the opening comments were from the team after the Nebraska loss? ALASKA HOOSIER, AZ Hoosier and WayneFleekHoosier 3 Quote

WayneFleekHoosier Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 Then why do they have such slow starts?Their energy and efforts are put towards useless tasks. Over helping. Diving at balls where there is no chance at recovery, just to say "I got on the floor for it."2-3 guys trying to swat one guy leaving 2 guys open under the basket. Etc. Etc. Etc.

Something has to change with the the next coach. No throwing, hitting, choking, whining, texting, tweeting, or tanning.

coonhounds Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 How is Creans plays out of timeouts so atrocious. Did he waste all his luck on the wat shot? It is almost a guarantee if he calls a timeout one of the most embarrassing things possible is going to happen. It would be hard to be that bad. I think throw the damn ball in and do what you guys do may be better then what he is doing.Sent from my SM-G920V using BtownBanners mobile app ALASKA HOOSIER 1 Quote

I might be being a little over critical with that but if he takes the job at ASU because of the prestige then IU basketball should be able to upgrade coach on the same level. Last title 87 last runner up 2002 both are better than ASU baseball. Josh and 8bucks 2 Quote
Hovadipo Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 How long have fans been upset with Crean? How apathetic has the fan base become? How many people just don't care anymore? This has not helped the basketball program or university in any way.When was he supposed to fire him? You had your small window a few years ago when a lot of fans wanted him gone, sure, but giving him another shot was a calculated risk. A risk that paid off last year in another B1G title. It's been said multiple times, but who was Glass going to get if he fired Crean a few years ago? Another Crean? Then we're back to square one for no particular reason. Maybe Glass has hurt some feelings by not giving some fans what they want, but this thing about Glass being the one letting down the basketball program is kind of weird.
