The team is a reflection of its coach.

What's the purpose of this post?  To drive people to drinking?  I would advise against it, it's a suicide mission because the human body can't handle that amount of alcohol.

I beg to differ, I'm still here posting!

After that on the court tirade with green I'm not surprised he's throwing his players under the bus

That right there is why Crean can't recruit anymore

I was wondering if he would finally take blame or if he would throw the players under the buss.  Not surprisingly he threw the players under the buss instead of taking even an ounce of blame on any issue.

Let's stop the "great guy" crap.

Id like to see what about 20 other coaches could do with a line up that includes 2 5 stars and numerous 4 star players.

Reporter: Do you believe that the players are a reflection of the coaching they receive in said adversity?

***things I wish the reporters would ask

How about: Tom, every year your teams are among the worst in the B1G in turnovers and defense. Are all of your teams immature?

Damn, should start calling him slippery crean! No coach should make that type of comment about his players! Yes several obviously didn't show up, again! But there were still players that showed determination and were trying to rally the team! Davis was out to win, mcswain even showed something tonight and tried to motivate, but I truly think that coach has lost the team completely, but still tries to make face by passing the blame like always

I hate Tom Crean. There. Unfiltered truth. Not as great a guy as some make him seem.

 

He feels trapped in a corner and now he's lashing out. The "he's a great guy" schtick is one of the few positive things he has going at this point. If he makes a jerk of himself he makes it even easier for people to want him gone. Let it out Coach, let it out.

I said earlier Bo Ryan would go 17-1 and win the Big Ten. I truly believe that. 

[Hoosier Guy 7,529]

Tom Crean is pathetic. Look at how Tom Izzo took ownership after that blowout loss at Michigan. Izzo: "I take full responsibility for the turnovers." That is a true coach and that's why his teams play for him and play like they do

[pumpfake 3,933]

For any of the younger posters, I'd like to tell you about a magical era in IU basketball.  A time where even if the season started poorly you could count on the team improving, and watching other teams with big early season wins fall apart down the stretch - as we overtook them and roared toward March. 

 

Now we're one of those other teams.

I don't get how anyone supports him at this point and when he is making comments like this

While throwing his players completely under the buss like that.  This guy is a clown.  At first I would've been okay with a "mutual separation", now he just needs fired.

Hey, some of them may not mind getting thrown under da buss. ;)

[Alford Bailey 12,373]

Why in the world would we bring him back? We likely lose our best three players and bring in an average at best class. He wont recruit worth a crap for 2018 and the hole gets deeper. Probably cant make the tourney next year. Bringing him back just delays the inevitable and will set the program back a couple years.

And with national media who will ask for change there will be others on the other side with the excuses.
This will be a major story moving forward in the college basketball world. What will IU do
