Trish Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 Folks, relax. Crean is without a doubt gone, you can tell by his demeanor. Hell, you can tell by Fred declining to comment about Crean's future. A win vs Iowa is worthless, Iowa is trash. I'd only be impressed/worried if we won the tournament, which we know won't happen. johnsoniu, ALASKA HOOSIER, nerdvana and 1 other 4 Quote

I hope you're right man, I wish a presser would come out saying Crean is gone but will be able to coach the rest of the season.Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Trish and recker222000 2 Quote
Capt. Crimson Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 Would anyone like to entertain the idea that Crean felt our heads were getting too big at the start of the season? So from there he's been throwing games all season... But with the Iowa game last night he's turning up the gas. Turning up the claps. Turning up his energy. Win the B1G tourney. Sneak into the big dance. On to banner #6 (or #7 if you're Dakich). Hutch89 and ALASKA HOOSIER 2 Quote
HooHooHoo22 Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 Any news on the Missouri boards worth talking about guys ???Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Quote
bigrod Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 Does anyone find it odd that right when crean was announced gone by sources that the boys look like a top 25 team? Pressure off? Possibly wanted crean gone? Or as crean would say they just getting healthy? The reason they shot so well last night imo was ball movement and hustle and improved intensity on defense. Weird to meSent from my SM-G920V using BtownBanners mobile appHonestly, I don't find this odd at all. This is Tom Crean. This is his MO. He can rally his teams to play their best when they are the underdog and it looks like they can't win (Kansas and UNC). Unfortunately, he can't be the Alpha Dog. He can't motivate on games they are supposed to win or expected to win, like this season. With the possible exception of Cody and Victor's last season, every year they were expected to do well, they have not. Remember how good everyone said they were going to be the year Vonleh played? They were terrible, but better than this year when they were ranked as high as 3. So now that no one expects anything from them, Crean is able to motivate. I've said several times, he doesn't know how to handle success. I don't know if he gets a big head and thinks he's as smart as he has the national media thinking he is, or what. How in the heck did these guys play as well as they did last night without OG??? I thought that was the reason the season tanked! Isn't that what all the experts said?

Popular Post Dalton26 Posted March 10, 2017 Popular Post Posted March 10, 2017 Tom Crean could win a NC this year and I'd still be leading the charge to have him fired. I know there's no way he'd do it again because he's not a good coach. hsrtxp, thebigweave, ALASKA HOOSIER and 8 others 11 Quote

Popular Post Walking Boot of Doom Posted March 10, 2017 Popular Post Posted March 10, 2017 Damn some of you guys have let one person repeating over and over that "Fred Glass loves Crean and needs any excuse to extend him" blind you from logic. Also, if Crean won a National Championship, I'm sorry, but I'm back on board. I don't like his style, I don't like the turnovers, and his demeanor is annoying. But damn I'd be in full support of the coach who brought home Banner #6. History says that isn't gonna happen, so don't worry folks. We are not a sound enough team defensively to make any kind of tournament run. Unfortunately, that is most likely also true of the BTT, and our season ends today. Then we all have to go back to our regularly scheduled lives till November. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app mark1981, Class of '66 Old Fart, Fulkme15 and 8 others 11 Quote

Bring a BTT title home from DC.... Make a small to decent run in the tournament and throughout the next couple weeks, you notice a complete change in coaching from Crean .... Ok stop laughing....I said "what if"..... I know the odds are stacked against us and I am currently on narcotic pain meds due to a recent surgery... So this could be the drugs talking... But would you want Crean back? Or can nothing, including a change in coaching style, sway you? Not a chance, I'd still want him gone. Quote

He's now coaching at Texas Southern. Kevin Ollie won a natty and is now struggling mightily. If Crean won a natty this season (not going to happen) water would find its level and we would finish begging Rutgers next season. Class of '66 Old Fart, RobPoff and theriverpilot 3 Quote

Also, the "where does Crean rank among B1G coaches" works too. Quote
