yogisballin Posted January 29, 2017 Posted January 29, 2017 I haven't missed an IU game at Northwestern in the past 12 years, until now (not going tomorrow). Watching the broken record of Tom Crean coaching mistakes has finally sapped my passion. The Illinois comparison is scary. But yes, we're heading there and I hope Glass will come around to that fact sooner rather than later."But we're selling a good amount of tickets " -Fred Glass (it's something close to that)Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners ALASKA HOOSIER 1 Quote

We are in the top 15 in attendance every year since Assembly Hall has opened in 1972.

pumpfake Posted January 29, 2017 Posted January 29, 2017 Tom Crean would be an outstanding fit for Missouri. After all, he does a great job of recruiting top H.S. players from that state (unlike Indiana). ALASKA HOOSIER 1 Quote

Yogi's Picnic Basket Posted January 29, 2017 Posted January 29, 2017 Sent from my iPhone using BtownBannersabout as messed up as a Washington State coach turning down and not wanting to be the coach at IU to stay the coach at Washington State I think Bennett just didn't want to come into the chaos at the time. Every coach we offered then probably assumed the job would be back on the market after a few years anyways. I also heard something along the lines that the university did something to his sister. No clue what but that was a rumor. Sent from my LGLS676 using BtownBanners mobile app Quote
Yogi's Picnic Basket Posted January 29, 2017 Posted January 29, 2017 I started to think last night though....when Calipari wanted to come here what if we did hire him? What would our program be like? I don't like the guy but that was one of the bigger misses. Kinda like giving up on a top recruit just to see him go elsewhere and become a superstar. Who knows.....if we choose Sampson at the time the past allegations against him can't really be used as a reason.

NateNoel Posted January 29, 2017 Posted January 29, 2017 I'm on team Alford at this point. I know some aren't fans but he's won everywhere he has been. I think it would be good for the program and fan base to have an IU guy at the helm. Maybe I'm wrong but I think if IU asks then he would come. Josh 1 Quote
LIHoosier Posted January 29, 2017 Posted January 29, 2017 Wasn't that on the heels of the Derrick Rose SAT investigation that Memphis got in trouble for but Teflon left scot free? With us in NCAA purgatory, that would've been a tough hire. Speaking of slime, didn't Slick Rick have an interest at the time as well? ALASKA HOOSIER 1 Quote

If by winning u mean making 3 sweet 16's then yes he has won everywhere he has been but that kind of feels like we already have that here ( except crean didn't cover up a crime)Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners Walking Boot of Doom, mdn82, ALASKA HOOSIER and 2 others 5 Quote

What could've been... I wouldn't want Calipari. There is no such thing as a 'clean' coach at this level, not even Crean, but Cal is complete filth. Especially after Samsung, no thank you, and what he did isn't even illegal now. hsrtxp, Str8Hoosiers and ALASKA HOOSIER 3 Quote
