JSHoosier Posted February 15, 2017 Posted February 15, 2017 10 minutes ago, TheWatShot said: The moment I knew Crean wasn't the right fit was when we lost at home to Iowa after being up 10 in the second half, in his third year. We have the ball, down one, 10-12 seconds left and inbounding under our own hoop, and Verdell Jones WALKS THE BALL UP THE FLOOR. Seriously. Iowa was roughly equal to us at the time, and that game marked their second consecutive season sweep over us, with different coaches. Then there was a game where we actually beat Wisconsin, we had a 4 point lead with a minute to play, he subs in Austin freaking Etherington for Noah Vonleh. Etherington guards the 7 foot Frank Kaminsky. Wisconsin immediately saw the mismatch and jumped. 3-point play, lead cut to one. We won that game in spite of Crean and everyone knew it. Crean later admitted to "over-subbing." Another classic case of him getting so caught up cheerleading and frantically pacing the sideline that he had no clue what was actually happening on the floor. I had managed to repress Jones walking the ball up the court. I'd call it brain dead but it takes a fully functioning brain to do something THAT stupid. Quote
BtownBanner6 Posted February 15, 2017 Posted February 15, 2017 I know we talked about Mike White at Florida, I know it's just one game but he gave up 95 today to Auburn. Quote
AKHoosier Posted February 15, 2017 Posted February 15, 2017 Would we really need to increase Donovan's salary that much to appeal to him? He's making $6M/year now. Does a job paying $5M/year appeal to him less? I guess what I'm trying to say is what can't you afford at 4-5M per year as opposed to $6M? Quote

In that Iowa game, didn't Crean call a timeout then give the ball back to Jones? Then Jones proceeded to go the opposite way of the screen and clang a forced shot when he was supposed to take the screen and dish to Hulls? That was one game, I think it was the same one. Hard to tell, so so many WTF moments over the last 9 years lol. reconmkd 1 Quote
Hoosier Guy Posted February 15, 2017 Posted February 15, 2017 A lot of programs will crap their pants once IU gets a competent coach. Good lord Crean is awful. All of these god awful game situation coaching skills. The fact we remember almost every single one of them. Lol this guy is awful. Cmon Billy Donovan. Restore IU Napleshoosier 1 Quote

Crean is making 3 and Donovan is easily more than twice the coach. On the off chance that Crean is worth 3 then Donovan is worth 7. Hoosierfan2017, thebigweave, Feathery and 1 other 4 Quote

Yogi's Picnic Basket Posted February 15, 2017 Posted February 15, 2017 Crean is making 3 and Donovan is easily more than twice the coach. On the off chance that Crean is worth 3 then Donovan is worth 7.Exactly!! And even if Donovan left OKC we would be in a bidding WAR. It isn't like we would be the only place he could go. A few NBA teams will surely make a run which will drive up his price. 7 or 8 is what he will get if a move is made. Honestly if we had it I would be okay with 10 million. He would be the highest paid and I am fine with that. Cal has 5 years maybe and Coach K as well. Then Roy in 10 or less as well as Pitino. Billy D's got 15-20 years left. Make him happy and pay him enough to where when the UK or Dukes open up he dont listen.Sent from my LGLS676 using BtownBanners mobile app Napleshoosier 1 Quote
HooHooHoo22 Posted February 15, 2017 Posted February 15, 2017 One of my good friends is a Louisville fan and he asked me about Kenny Johnson. Obviously he wouldn't be hired as IU's next head coach but does anyone think he could eventually be a good coach one day ?? Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Quote

HoshPoint_0 Posted February 15, 2017 Posted February 15, 2017 I have a hard time seeing Archie going NC St. could be wrong though. But, that program isn't even top 3 in its own state. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Quote

I think he would be a good high mid major coach. I don't think he could jump straight into power 5 and win though. He seems to really have a strong relationship with players which would certainly help him.Sent from my LGLS676 using BtownBanners mobile app HooHooHoo22 1 Quote
