Walking Boot of Doom Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 53 minutes ago, WayneFleekHoosier said: Because Alford can recruit the type of players to give a team a chance to have a year like UCLA is having this year. They are very possible title contenders. Legitimate title contenders. Will they win? Odds say no. But he has as good as chance as anyone. We had 1 year like that with Crean in 9. It ended in a sweet sixteen. Most people are pissed about that but those are the kind of years I want to have. Be in the top ten all year. Eventually you'll win one. And if not, then it was still a hell of a fun year. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners Based on the top 30 ranking of every title winner in AdjO and AdjD since 2002, odds say he has no chance. In his 22 years, he's assembled zero teams that ranked in the top 30 in KenPom's AdjO and AdjD. Crean has produced two. Quote

woodenshoemanHoosierfan Posted March 11, 2017 Posted March 11, 2017 Am I the only here that doesn't really care about this? I mean Knight was a great coach, possibly the greatest, but I don't lose sleep at night knowing he's still pouting about being dismissed because he choked a player and was an all-around d1ck is other situations.Sent from my iPhone using BtownBannersI don't care either!

woodenshoemanHoosierfan Posted March 11, 2017 Posted March 11, 2017 Just heard that Alford is very interested in the Indiana job if it becomes available. Would like to get back to his roots and where his family is from. Also said that his buyout at UCLA may not be an issue if they do not make the Final Four or better. Hope this guy doesn't know what he is talking about. Also said that the top three targets are Alford, Bennett and Donovan.Sent from my iPad using BtownBannersI hope not. Might as well keep Crean thenSent from my SM-T377V using Tapatalk mark1981 1 Quote
woodenshoemanHoosierfan Posted March 11, 2017 Posted March 11, 2017 How? He has never progressed past the Sweet Sixteen and has missed the tournament more than 50% of his years coaching. He's actually a worse coach than Crean. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile appI agree. He is not better than what we have now. These people that say they want him, but his tournament resume is as bad as Crean's Sent from my SM-T377V using Tapatalk Quote

woodenshoemanHoosierfan Posted March 11, 2017 Posted March 11, 2017 Let's see what he does this tourney.Sent from my SM-J700T using TapatalkSo advancing past the sweet sixteen once his entire career. Is good enough? Crean made it by the S16 once. Anyone making an argument that we cant keep Crean because he doesn't get beyond the S16, but then say a coach who hasn't done it either can be our next coach makes no sense.Sent from my SM-T377V using Tapatalk Quote

woodenshoemanHoosierfan Posted March 11, 2017 Posted March 11, 2017 Love the logic... Crean has never had success in the tournament in 19 years coaching at Marquette or Indiana. But Alford! He just hasn't been given the right resources in 21 years coaching in the B1G, MWC, and at blueblood UCLA. At UCLA so far, went to the Sweet Sixteen twice and then completely missed the tournament. Talk about inconsistency. Reminds me of another coach at a blueblood school...Crean only succeeded last year because of Yogi. Well... Alford's current PG happens to be a projected top NBA draft pick and one of the most talented PGs in college basketball. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile appWell said! I really don't think they would be for the hire had he not played for IU!Sent from my SM-T377V using Tapatalk Quote

Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile appTo be fair, I don't think you can say NEVER had success in the tournament for Crean, he has been to a final 4. He still should def be fired, fired, sooooooo fired from Indiana though. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Chris Nieman 1 Quote
woodenshoemanHoosierfan Posted March 11, 2017 Posted March 11, 2017 He's not my #1. But he is 5 or 6. I think he is under estimated on this board especially. That's all. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBannersYou didn't expect New Mexico to go far that year when they had a pro on their team playing against Harvard? Anything can happen in the tourney. I honestly expected his New Mexico team to go far that year. Like most coaches he underachieved with a team in the tourney against an inferior opponent Sent from my iPhone using BtownBannersHe's not even in my top 10.In no particular orderDonavan StevensMarshall Archie MillerSean MillerCroninCollinsUnderwoodFewKeattsSent from my SM-T377V using Tapatalk Quote
