Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Agreed - it's been more than 15 years since RMK was here -- he has NO relevance to the Topic of CTC's (hopeful) departure and successor.

HoosierMatty Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 The school has bent over backwards for RMK at this point he's no longer thumbing his nose at the school administration but the fans. Im ready to move on apparently he isn't. He has to live with that regret the rest of his life. Yogi's Picnic Basket 1 Quote
Dalton26 Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 I dont think hes thumbing his nose at the fans at all. Everyone else keeps bringing it up not him, its not like he keeps bringing it up that he might show up. If he doesn't want to come back he doesn't have to, people really need to stop whining about it already, Hoosierfan2017, Class of '66 Old Fart, pappy1865 and 2 others 5 Quote

He wasnt gonna leave on his own free will. He gave our AD not many options. As a coach your top priority is win and take care of your players. All the events we have held for those teams he let his players go alone. That showed me what kind of guy he is. As a coach I will always love him for the banners he gave us, but we have a better chance of Brad Stevens coming here than RMK. Sad!!Sent from my LGLS676 using BtownBanners mobile app Quote
Sota Hoosier Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 He's obviously a bitter dude but at this point he probably just doesn't care, which is fine, and we shouldn't either. Hung three banners and is one of the best and most polarizing CBB coaches of all time and I'm thankful for that. Dalton26 and Stuhoo 2 Quote

I don't think it's fair to expect him to come back. I know I wouldn't want to in his shoes. ALASKA HOOSIER 1 Quote

HoosierMatty Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 He thumbs his nose at fans whether he realizes it or not when he fundraises for Purdue. Looking back on it I think it's awful it ended the way it did. He should have never had to end his tenure here that way. But let's be honest whike the incident that happened seemed minor it it a was a culmination of bad behavior we looked the other way at. It was becoming hard and embarrassing for the school. And obviously his drop off in winning made it easier. Not saying that's fair but we enabled his bad behavior and he never took responsibility for it. I think the way Glass has reached out to Knight has been admirable. MoyeNeeded 1 Quote

Yogi's Picnic Basket Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 I have asked Jeff Eisenberg and Jon Rothstein on twitter the last few days who IU could realistically get. I know it just media members but both these guys are very honest and I respect both their opinions. Consensus is Tony Bennett, Scott Drew whether people want him or not and Dana Altman are our top tier according to them and mentioned they all seem to want to stay put so Chris Mack or Archie Miller was the two names that were said to be the best that we could get right now. I want Archie Miller almost as bad as anyone else so it isn't disappointing for me but it may be for some of you. Also Few is considered a pipe dream in their opinion as well.Sent from my LGLS676 using BtownBanners mobile app Quote
Yogi's Picnic Basket Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 According the Indy Star after talking w Jeremy Gray, IU will sign and turn in the NIT contract by the March 6 deadline. If they turn it in and we don't make the tourney we will have to play in it. This is another sucky part. What if Crean gets us to win the NIT? I was hoping we declined honestly. With the bubble so bad this year Penn State and Utah will probably be the best teams in it. Also Miami looks like a team that will be in it as well. Crean will definitely hang that banner and give rings too if we were to win. :( Sent from my LGLS676 using BtownBanners mobile app ALASKA HOOSIER 1 Quote

Not happening, especially with a group of kids who will probably be checked out by then (if they aren't already). Oh yeah, and it's a tournament.

Lol right it just seems the NIT wont have the teams it usually has in it. We will see come closer to that time, but if we don't win it compared to the talent it would be a huge disappointment. Crean could be coaching for his next big job during it too. If he wins the NIT and goes elsewhere it looks a lot better than ran IU into the ground and let go. That is why I am surprised he is wanting to do it to begin with. Sent from my LGLS676 using BtownBanners mobile app ALASKA HOOSIER 1 Quote
