TOM CREAN FIRED

Man, if we get Alford I'll be sick. Can't think of a more lateral move than that

I think Alford is a smoke screen and would make perfect sense as such.   Too much Donovan talk out there, let's get them focused elsewhere by saying it's a mediocre coach with ties to IU.  That'll buy us a couple days.....just my 2 cents

Assuming 0708 and the Janitors sources are legit, there is conflicting info, which is right, and whose is a smokescreen?  Billy Donovan or mystery candidate out West?

 

Like you said...assuming they are legitimately conveying real, sourced info, they both could be right.

A search committee/firm routinely would reach out to multiple places to gauge interest, and then narrow it down from there with an established order of preference among the candidates that express interest.

So far, I've seen Donovan, Alford, and maybe Sean Miller as where we may have reached out.

Seems to be some Alford smoke out there. Wonder if that's what Janitor is inferring.

Not sure he really knows on the replacement talks.

The Alford stuff is going the other way around. That's nothing new but obviously being pushed a little harder given what they see at IU

[Not solely taking a swipe at the last post of this ilk above - seen too much of this generally]

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In my opinion, ANYONE that proclaims "If (fill in name) is hired, I will no longer root for Indiana University" is welcome to exit stage left no matter who is hired.

  • Indiana is my alma mater (twice).
  • It is the school I will always root for. 
  • It is like family; you don't pick it, you are in it.
  • I don't root solely for the coach at the time, I root for my team, my school.

When Kelvin Sampson was coach, it was a damn shame, but I was still an absolute, no questions IU fan. I was simply an IU fan that wished we had a different coach. If Tom Crean is the coach next year? Same thing. (though it won't be nearly as bad as when Sampson was in charge)

If the identity of the coach can determine your fandom? For me...GTFO.

 

Woorrdddd
