1) He's Trollkich

2) Mediocre coaches stick together

3) His son won(His real one, not the fake one he's naming OG). Why wouldn't he be grateful?

Way to go Crean, you pissed 41 off. You've really done it this time.

IMHO, he or Stevens would awaken a sleeping giant, however, it may be hard to get them away from the NBA.

We land either of those two men and we are hanging a banner within 5 years of their hiring.........Book it!

Have any of you searched Tom Crean in Twitter today? Lord the fan base is after him. Nothing but people wanting him gone.

We are losing, Assembly Hall's balcony seats are empty, Fan base is calling for his head.

It's time.

If we can't start over now then when can we?

Well, Tom, you know what has to happen.

Syracuse ended his career, we beat UNLV in the semis. Agree with everything else.

Very true. Won a case of beer bet picking Syracuse to go to final four at the start of year. Funny neither of us picked IU. Lots of unanswered questions going into the season that Smart and Garrett answered. Of course we also had the General.

I forgot about Jay Wright.. would be a great hire!.  Hey we could still land Tucker!

Anyone have the link to that top 50 coaches article? Might be others in there we have overlooked

Re: Crean being a great recruiter.


In the upcoming 2017 class, #iubb offered scholarships to 21 out of the top 50 ranked players.

Commits? 0/21.

We need to go full court press for Billy Donovan. IF there is any chance at all.

Yep if the top players are going to get thrown under a bus they at least want a chance to win 3 straight postseason games. Creans inability to actually coach has neutered his recruiting ability.

Agreed if he really wants to come back to college we are one of a few schools that would be able to afford him. I will be livid if we don't make a run and he ends up at UK in a year or two

Take a lesson from Pitino and get him some entertainment.

Someone needs to photoshop Crean driving a bus.  With is "it's not my fault" mentality it'll be needed.

I think he'd be a great fit....somewhere else.  Somewhere where they won't care that he doesn't know much about the game he's paid millions to coach.

Was assembly hall that empty ever under Davis for a big ten game? I don't recall.

Can't say for sure.  I was usually too busy calling Davis an idiot when I was watching the games to notice.

And his willingness to take 1,000 wings instead of addressing team needs, see: point guard and bigs.

[SteelerHoosier 2,586]

I'm so tired of the excuses. Here is a FB from someone who graduated from my HS. He is currently a HS basketball coach so to be fair he isn't a basketball dummy, but still

 

" My 2 cents on Tom Crean and firing him. His players aren't good, aren't talented (outside of a couple), and they play with no heart. Yeah part of that is his fault, but what can a coach do when your big man, who was supposed to be a stud, is soft, your best scoring guard can't stay healthy, your leader goes down, and your best player plays a very shortened season. You take any other coach in NCAA and give them this team, they wouldn't make much of a difference. You're a year removed from losing on of the best PG's in school history and a wing that has produced in the NBA. Talent wins games, not just coaching. "

 

 

I just don't get this after all we have seen the last 6 seasons.

Davis totally flipped out and missed a game "illness" when it was coming to an end. Wonder how this will play out?
