TOM CREAN FIRED

[Maynard 561]

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?

This is why I think it's Crean. Our bird left at 2pm. Same plane leaves at 7:30. Not too many people take a private jet from Bloomington for 5 hrs. Imo

If your too stupid to get this than I'm sorry but


IU wants a new coach: Billy Donovan is listening

Mizzou wants a new coach: Cuonzo Martin is their "dream get" beside Crean

That is a huge difference lol. IU isn't the only school that plays basketball. This is getting old seeing people who base everything ANY coach does at one school. Coaching careers last 40 years quite a bit. He did not live up to our expectations which included wanting a title and having 5 but he can't live up to any other jobs!!?? Please stop. I can add a bunch of cuss words too to make my post look cool. Point is if you don't like someones opinion, don't read it and move on. I think there is plenty of movement on here to keep people busy. Sorry but a lot of people PAID to research coaches admit Crean is overwhelmed here but would do fine somewhere with less pressure so. Dragging the argument out is the only reason I said this which should make it easy to understand why people are saying he could be a good coach at MISSOURI.

And I have been keeping an eye on private jet flights out of BMG to land within range of potential open locations. First time I have had a hit in two weeks.

Wouldn't it be awesome that Crean is announced Mizzo coach tomorrow. IU goes with an interim coach for the BTT. We win and make the dance.

Could all be tied hand-in-hand.  CTC flew to St. Louis to ink the deal and with that contract agreed to in principle, Mizzou goes ahead with the official release of Anderson.  This stuff just doesn't happen on the spur of the moment.

Inside source.... let's just say Tom Izzo is gonna be in the B1G next year... ;)

We know he's gone and it's all but announced, but like a beaten dog we are scared and timid

Maybe this is a sign that Archie is in fact #3 on their list.
