mdn82 Posted February 27, 2017 Posted February 27, 2017 Seth Greenberg can't coach either. The injury crap is silly. Ask Izzo who is piecing together a decent season after being demolished with injuries and a super young team. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBannersWhile playing a tough ass schedule.

recker222000 Posted February 27, 2017 Posted February 27, 2017 I'll openly admit to being hopeful BUT pessimistic about this (hypothetical) hire. I think after the last 15 years IU's "brand" has been sufficiently weakened that it desperately needs a home-run hire that gives it instant credibility, i.e., Stevens, Donovan or maybe S. Miller. What I expect, if this hire actually happens, is someone like Archie or Holtmann--both of whom may one day be HOF coaches for all I know, but may not currently have enough clout to step in and immediately turn things around. Which is what the basketball program needs ASAP in my opinion. Not sure this program can absorb yet another 3- or 4-year "rebuild" at this point in time. It would be better (if even possible, which it may not be) if the next hire brought someone who could immediately put IU in contention for the Romeo Langfords and Keion Brooks of the world.No we cannot afford another rebuilt. Getting a guy like Romeo would solve that.Sent from my SM-J700T using Tapatalk Quote

Bring metrics, counterpoints, and your A-game to the thread. So, if you fire Tom Crean after this year tell me again who is coaching next year?People have told you. Plus there is close to 600 pages of that. You choose to ignore that.Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app 8bucks, Stuhoo, thebigweave and 8 others 11 Quote
CrossboneIU22 Posted February 27, 2017 Posted February 27, 2017 It isn't a money issue. Wasn't two years ago w the buyout, isn't this year w the same thing, isn't a contract thing....it's just not a thingI think he is talking about Donovan, not Creans contract.

Bring metrics, counterpoints, and your A-game to the thread. So, if you fire Tom Crean after this year tell me again who is coaching next year?You want coherent, logical arguments? How about turning the ball over in right at 20% of our possessions in Crean's tenure? 1 in 5 possessions are just handed back to the other team. Only one year in 9 have we had a top 30 defense under Crean. You aren't winning a title without that. Or we have had 3 players since 2010 stay 4 years? Is that coherent enough for you? That is why there is no semblance of continuity. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Happydaze, thebigweave, bnkepner and 10 others 13 Quote

WestCoastView Posted February 27, 2017 Posted February 27, 2017 Injuries matter. This team beat UNC and Kansas with a healthy squad, and no Hartman.

CrossboneIU22 Posted February 27, 2017 Posted February 27, 2017 You can replace the 'D' with a bunch of T's since we commit a gazillion turnovers and never use timeouts.We need to put the D back in InDiana.

This team also lost to Nebraska on their own floor with OG playing 20+ minutes so lets not pretend they were playing great basketball before all these injuries seemed to hit. And Hartman hasn't played all year so let's so use that as a crutch for the poor play on display from 2 McDonald's All-American's and several other 4-star players. The injuries is just a cover up for a complete lack of direction on the court thebigweave, Tom White and A.j. Nigh 3 Quote

MoyeNeeded Posted February 27, 2017 Posted February 27, 2017 So WestCoastView, if CTC is kept, will IU win the Big10 title next year? Will IU make it into the tournament next year? Will IU hang a banner next year? Will Crean recruit a top 5 class next year? Your answer would be about as speculative as asking us who would be CTC's replacement. To think anything else would be ILLOGICAL!Sent from my SM-G930P using BtownBanners mobile app Quote
