Popular Post WayneFleekHoosier Posted February 27, 2017 Popular Post Posted February 27, 2017 Have followed for a long time but just read and hardly ever post. I've been looking for anything about CTC on any Missouri boards I could find. This was an interesting read...any of you follow any other boards with any similar discussions?http://tigerboard.com/boards/view.php?message=14599692Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile appNice! I like "I'd like Gottfried over Crean if we are going to hire a retread"And "Great, guy that's struggling at Indiana despite all its blue blood advantages". Sums it up right there.

8bucks Posted February 27, 2017 Posted February 27, 2017 Not sure the reason, but Hickory Hoosier says Donovan is a definite no go. Bummer.Well if that is the case and we are still parting ways at least we must have a strong plan B. Would hate to target him and spend the next month chasing only to have him say no thanks.

LIHoosier Posted February 27, 2017 Posted February 27, 2017 29 minutes ago, Feathery said: Hell, Bo Ryan coined the phrase Tommy Naismith bc Creans ego is so big he thinks he invented basketball. He is stubborn and not willing to be challenged by his own staff. So he hires mediocre yes men as assistants. Indiana prep coaches have closed the recruiting pipeline. Not only is it in the best interest of Indiana for Crean to leave, its also in Tom Creans best interest to leave mutually. If he stays he will be fired in a year. Man, Fire Marshal Bo made a funny. I'm gonna steal that one. Feathery 1 Quote

Tom White Posted February 27, 2017 Posted February 27, 2017 Point well taken, offense schemes are poor. And that (the offense) is what they were supposedly hanging their hats on. It sure wasn't defense. Quote

I get it though. Big part of why we need to set higher standards finally. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners theriverpilot and Scout 2 Quote
bleedhoosier Posted February 27, 2017 Posted February 27, 2017 Well, Mom passed on a few years back so.............. Anyway, what I meant was Calvert and Bailey are two brands of liquor...........thus the pun.Sorry man, just having a chuckle at a classic mom joke. No malice intended.

Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners They are so torn on that board about the idea of hiring Crean. Even some of them think Mizzou can do better than Crean, and would take Holtmann or Mack or Marshall over him. WayneFleekHoosier 1 Quote

Maybe ADs are onto him. That's the thing... We're portrayed as an unreasonable and ungrateful fan base for wanting to part ways with Crean. But, if he were even half as good as the pundits made him out to be, then he'd be a super hot commodity right now. Imagine if, for example, Tom Izzo was rumored to be on the market. Fans all over the country would be clamoring for him. Yet, here we have NC State that hasn't been relevant since Jimmy V was there and Missouri, whose been inconsistently good, but never great, and the majority of their fan bases would be pretty disappointed if they ended up with TC.

HoosierSadaseci Posted February 27, 2017 Posted February 27, 2017 I will say for those still holding out hope for Billy Donovan though as bleak as it sounds, remember the last couple of coaching searches neither Sampson nor Crean's names were leaked ahead of time, maybe...just maybe...they are killing the Donovan rumor to keep it on the down low.

Exactly! Glass isn't an idiot. Mizzou or ncst don't want Crean, yet he is the future of iu basketball?
