mdn82 Posted February 13, 2017 Posted February 13, 2017 Anyone think the team will take enough offense to creans comments to lay down extra hard now?No, but practice today will be awkward.Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Class of '66 Old Fart 1 Quote
Yogi's Picnic Basket Posted February 13, 2017 Posted February 13, 2017 Davis is signed for awhile but has an opt out clause and management has told him they won't make him suffer if they can't build a contender. Sent from my LGLS676 using BtownBanners mobile app Quote

Anthony Davis's agent has told people that him and Westbrook plan on going to LA together in a year or two. If this is true Billy D will not want to take part in a rebuild after being so close to winning a title. Sent from my LGLS676 using BtownBanners mobile app I read the article. While they share the same agent, the article is pretty thinly stretched out speculation. What is more relevant to me is that Westbrook is an LA guy through and through and probably isn't all that shot in the ass about many more years in OKC. Quote

HoosierAloha Posted February 13, 2017 Posted February 13, 2017 Crean's comments in his post game presser have made me pissed. This has to end and end quickly. It's cool for him to say that it falls on him but he's just as immature as his players. He's saying "it's my fault but..." It's his players, it's his system and he's not getting it done. His "everyone is a leader" system doesn't work. Name one system in America that runs on "everyone is a leader." Everything that is halfway successful runs on a hierarchy of leadership. He fails at keeping enough players around to have upperclassmen lead. Why is that?! Why do so few players stay at Indiana long enough to lead the younger players? I have my theory and I'm not shocked players would leave. He doesn't want to name captains but he wants to call out players?! What kind of immature crap is that?! Why can't he bench players who aren't following his instructions? This isn't a new development with his teams either. At some point it needs to fall on Crean. That time is now and he needs to seek employment at a school not named Indiana. thebigweave and Hoosierfan2017 2 Quote

lucel15 Posted February 13, 2017 Posted February 13, 2017 I don't want it to happen and see college kids just lay down and quit.... But maybe it sends a message to glass and they all can pull a "usa national soccer team" and basically get coach canned. Now I don't agree with it but that's basically what happened. Lost the locker room and lost his job Juergen did. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Quote
WayneFleekHoosier Posted February 13, 2017 Posted February 13, 2017 FWIW. I've seen it mentioned in several separate places. Apparently DeRon Davis could be a transfer candidate. Idk. This presumably depends on what happens with Crean. I can't imagine someone as skilled as DeRon willing to "waste" a year. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners VO5 1 Quote

HoosierAloha Posted February 13, 2017 Posted February 13, 2017 I thought Davis chose IU because Crean was loyal to him? Are we talking Davis transferring out because Crean stays or go? I would like to see Davis stay a Hoosier and develop when Crean is gone. hsrtxp 1 Quote
HoosierRob Posted February 13, 2017 Posted February 13, 2017 Davis will for sure leave if crean goes. From everything I've heard, he's loyal to crean because crean stayed loyal to him for so long. mdn82 and Hoosier Guy 2 Quote
Hoosier Guy Posted February 13, 2017 Posted February 13, 2017 Westbrook is going to the Lakers. No doubt in my mind. He's from LA and went to college there at UCLA. So that alone says that Donovan might just leave here soon Quote
mdn82 Posted February 13, 2017 Posted February 13, 2017 He's being grossly misused and under-utlized (shocker).... I could see him leaving if CTC is back. It's actually due to his loyalty to Crean. If Crean goes so does he is how I have read it everywhere.Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app WayneFleekHoosier 1 Quote

Rock and a hard place guys. Davis won't properly develop unless Crean is gone but Davis won't be here if Crean isn't here. Man this all sucks Quote
