TOM CREAN FIRED

[WayneFleekHoosier 48,474]

Okay all, when was it that you realized for certain that Crean was not the man for the job?  I knew the first time I saw Verdell Jones fall down.

April and Priller signings were very worrisome. There have been stages of doubt. I've had problems for a long time.

I never thought the 3 year rebuild should have been as bad as it was.

You would think if Billy said no we'd have moved on to others by now. Has anyone heard if Archie has been contacted?

I think 0708 had said we had reached out. I might be wrong though.

I've been away a couple days... Who's this poster and what did he say?

Worst April fools day prank Greenspan could've pulled.

He's about to get Northwestern in the NCAA tournament. That's a damn miracle!

That being said, I don't think he should be considered for the IU job at this time.

When Coach K retires, it's a strong belief that Duke is going to keep it in the family. Do we really want to put ourselves in these shoes again 4 or whatever years from now?

Now that I think about it, I imagine it's going to be a bit difficult for Collins to ever get a better job until that Duke position changes.

Glass didn't hire Crean.

Alford wouldn't unite the fan base at all. The old timers would be thrilled, the generations who barely have seen a championship would be pissed

I imagine more than a few of us "old timers" would be less than "thrilled", right, Old Fart?

I know but the facts are irrelevant.

Not message board old timers. The non internet old timers :)

Define "old timer" … I'm 64 and followed the Hoosiers since I could walk and talk … do I qualify?

Yea, pretty close.

My belief is that Capel will coach Duke after K retires for a couple years, then Collins and Woj will have a death match to determine who is the coach who replaces the coach who replaced Coach K.

Same here. The first two years I gave him a pass for the most part. When we regressed in year 3 I started to wonder. Then things went great for 2 seasons. The year of Vonleh is when I started having my first major concerns because we should have been much better. Last season I was all but done with him after the Duke game, then of course they completely reversed course, so I let it go. This year was definitely make or break year in my eyes (not that I would have been surprised to see him go earlier). If this team didn't accomplish a great season followed up by a deep tourney run, I was definitely on the train.

When we lost to Butler when we had Zeller.  Butler had no big men left in the game, and yet we never took advantage of that by going inside to Zeller, and we ended up losing.  That's when I realized Tom Crean is an idiot.

Watched that game live. Pissed it away from the coaching spot.

Yogis game tying 3 as a frosh was awesome though.

just happened along this while I was doing some searches. decent read

[kottke 766]

Can anyone remember which games, I believe it was during the Vonleh season, where we blew like 3-4 games, nearly in a row, at the very end of regulation? It was so ridiculous.
