Hoosier Guy Posted February 25, 2017 Posted February 25, 2017 Guys R-E-L-A-X. There is no way Crean is back. That guy is talking out his ass. Just wait until the day after IU loses in the BTT. Just be patient Happydaze and ALASKA HOOSIER 2 Quote
Bowhunter Posted February 25, 2017 Posted February 25, 2017 Well that sucks! Sounds like Danny Is legit. I don't know why Hutch would back him if not. Quote
eljefe6 Posted February 25, 2017 Posted February 25, 2017 I just dont get why Crean himself would want to be back. The fan base hates him!! The team will be worse next year so unless some miracle happens we dont improve much. And with the buyout at a million he is gone without a great season which isnt gonna happen. He is gonna bring in more freshmen and he is gonna deal with the "immaturity" even more. Why not get a start towards building your next program? I am confused by Crean wanting to stick around more than what Glass does with him. The longer Crean struggles w us the more his name loses value. He will be coaching mississippi valley state if he hangs around much longer. Sent from my LGLS676 using BtownBanners mobile appThat's why he keeps scheduling all the cupcakes. They're job interviews.

Str8Hoosiers Posted February 25, 2017 Posted February 25, 2017 Not sure what Hutch's end game is... I always liked him when he was around here, but I just read an article he wrote that was in my local paper and it just goes on and on saying he shouldn't be fired for 2 B1G championships & 3 Sweet Sixteen Appearances. Basically saying it isn't Crean's fault the players can't hit shots, freshman making freshman mistakes, and turnovers. He ends the article saying if we lose out there is a chance, but it sounds like he thinks Crean is safe from that article to and is calling out fans who have "friends" or "sources" saying otherwise. Don't know if he is trying to protect credentials or if he actually knows things here but..... Tom White and ALASKA HOOSIER 2 Quote

Trish Posted February 25, 2017 Posted February 25, 2017 I think most of figured he would be back next year because Glass will use the injury excuse. That being said, we need to lose the rest of our games. Starting tonight, we need to get blown outSent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app CrossboneIU22, Happydaze, Feathery and 1 other 4 Quote

mdn82 Posted February 25, 2017 Posted February 25, 2017 Danny Bridges has had articles published by the Indianapolis Recorder. Now let me ask this. As much **** as everyone gives Dakich, don't you think he would be the first to go out on his soapbox to tell everyone they were wrong if that was 100%? Like many here and elsewhere he has heard something and running with it. We will see.Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app 8bucks and ALASKA HOOSIER 2 Quote

Don't know if he is trying to protect credentials or if he actually knows things here but..... Terry Hutchens has always been a bit of a homer. Maintaining access to the program is probably some of it, but judging from his posts I used to read on Peegs, I think what he is writing is pretty close to what he genuinely feels/believes. Probably more so than other seemingly "Pro-Crean" stuff that's out there now. I didn't see the article you're referencing, but given your synopsis, it sounds like the same thing other writers are throwing out there these days. There are so many counter-arguments one could make, but, to me, the crux of that matter is this... Forgot about the injuries and focus on the "heart" of IUs lineup lineup. In no particular order, we have: Newkirk JBJ RoJo Bryant Davis Green CuJo Morgan Should the 8 players I listed be in the Big Ten cellar hoping to get an NIT bid? In my mind, absolutely not. Obviously, IU would be a better, deeper team with OG and Hartman, but there is definitely enough talent and experience to expect much more than we are seeing in late February.

pumpfake Posted February 25, 2017 Posted February 25, 2017 I'd like to ask these media 'experts' one question: If this debacle of a season is about injuries and untalented players, how do you explain the play of this team in the first month of the season? The KU game was a good win and the performance against UNC was as good as a CTC team can play. Same players except OG, but it's not like OG was the lone reason we shot lights out. and played great defense (first half especially) No, this team has gotten worse as the season has progressed when it should have improved - that's teaching, preparation, and psychology - and it's not the first season this has happened. Another point I'd like to touch on is recruiting. It seems CTC has basically alienated in-state coaches and players (that well has gone dry) and now, with the tweets by RJ's coach it appears he's done the same with that area. This is a sinking ship, plain and simple. We see it and I believe the media types prefer to ignore it. Hoosierfan2017, Tom White, Hoosier DaDa and 1 other 4 Quote
HoosierRob Posted February 25, 2017 Posted February 25, 2017 If it's true I guess glass just wants assembly hall to be half empty next year. Because that's what will happen. Napleshoosier 1 Quote

This reminds me of an old quote that I don't fully remember, but it went kinda like this: The coach didn't turn the ball over 15 times per game. The coach didn't stand and watch his opponent drive by him to the basket. The coach didn't take all the ill-advised shots. The coach didn't forget to block out for rebounds. No, the coach didn't make any of those mistakes, but you know what? Neither does a well coached team! A.j. Nigh, HoosierAloha, Str8Hoosiers and 5 others 8 Quote

Still not giving up, despite his telling us no Donovan. Don't want to say where it stands for fear of upsetting the apple cart. Sean and Archie. Further down the list. Dane. Personally, don't understand this,unless it is a stop gap, unless IU fails with the one's above. No reach outs to : Alford, Mack, or Marshall. And one other I can't remember the name of. He said that things went well with Donovan when they reached out but his sources have gone quiet recently on that front. He said they could be trying to keep it quiet until the season is over and don't want any leaks. Trying to decipher the Donovan part. The pessimist in me says it's falling apart, but I could also see why they're trying to avoid leaks. I'm I looking too much into it? ALASKA HOOSIER 1 Quote

bigrod Posted February 25, 2017 Posted February 25, 2017 Well if that happens I won't watch a single game next year or any year after until he's gone. Seriously, what would change next year. Our biggest need is a playmaking PG, and Tommy has failed yet again to bring one in. His positionless system needs a position player, and either his ego, or his ability, or both have failed us yet again.Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app ALASKA HOOSIER, CR3AMnCR1MS0N and nerdvana 3 Quote

Based on reading this and a few other boards, it kind of sounds like IU is wanting to put out conflicting information for fear of things catching on in the national media. The mere mention of "IU hasn't reached out to anyone" is completely ridiculous and goes against everything that has been accepted as common knowledge for the last few weeks. Feathery, A.j.

I do understand not wanting things to catch on in the national media. Leaks are not really a good thing imo. I would want everything to stay in house as well. But anyone who follows IU knows what's really going on here AKHoosier 1 Quote
