Hurryin'Hoosier317 Posted March 5, 2017 Posted March 5, 2017 Crean being called a "True Winner" is laughable. Seriously. We haven't had consistent play by ANY of his teams since he came here. Is he a good coach? Maybe. But you can't call him a "True Winner". IMO the only thing he is "Truly" good at is clapping and drinking Diet Coke.

Plus who knows, maybe Mizzou officials would have met him in St. Louis. None of us would have any idea what their day-to-day is like, it's entirely feasible they do some weekend business in St. Louis, or they want Crean so much they're willing to go out of their way to accommodate him by driving to St. Louis themselves.

Popular Post Hovadipo Posted March 5, 2017 Popular Post Posted March 5, 2017 Having some family in college coaching, I do know that often times meetings between school officials and potential coaches don't happen on campus.

Popular Post BlueDevil Posted March 5, 2017 Popular Post Posted March 5, 2017 In the world of coaching, coaches on the hot seat leave fans wondering what's next for their programs. At Indiana the dedicated forum posters who investigate these coaching hot takes are members of an elite community known as BtownBanners. These are their stories.Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners GloryDays, Feathery, TetKale and 28 others 31 Quote
ap2345 Posted March 5, 2017 Posted March 5, 2017 Another poster on 247 said this "I noticed that a flight just left Bloomington for Dayton. Is that unusual?" the another poster said " There is also a return flight back to Bloomington from Dayton at 7:00 pm. Interesting." Is it for Archie??? ALASKA HOOSIER 1 Quote
Hoosier Frank Posted March 5, 2017 Posted March 5, 2017 any flights from Columbia to St. Louis today? Maybe both parties flew to St. Louis for the rendezvous to begin negotiations? Quote

Maynard Posted March 5, 2017 Posted March 5, 2017 I disagree with the notion that Crean is a "good" coach. Of the D1 coaches, I think that there are probably several dozen who could do a better job at Indiana than he has done. I have not run the numbers, but anyone who regularly watches IU knows just how bad his inbounds plays, and offensive sets out of TO's are. After 9 years, if he calls a timeout with 30s or less on the clock, I'd bet there is a 15% chance that his team scores. Defensively they have been good twice in this decade. They average over 14.5 turnovers a game, have had fewer turnovers than assists only three seasons, and rank 200+ in turnover ratio consistently. All but two/three of his biggest wins have come in the preseason. His team's are worse in the second half and worse at the end of the season. Good coaches generally have teams that are peaking after the first three weeks of the season. He is good at developing relationships, and he picked up a few things from Izzo, but he is not a good coach. How many teams in the big ten would be better off right now if they had Crean instead of their current coach? A.j. Nigh, Hurryin'Hoosier317 and HooHooHoo22 3 Quote
