jdailey1981 Posted March 11, 2017 Author Posted March 11, 2017 Not so worried about Crean going away. He's a goner. More worried our AD will make a mistake when replacing him!Glass the ass...ugh Quote

woodenshoemanHoosierfan Posted March 11, 2017 Posted March 11, 2017 Same question as in regards to Dane Fife but a different scenario obviously:Would the people OK with Alford be OK with Alford if he didn't play at IU?Asking for discussion's sake because I'm not really sure how I feel about it. Great question. Based on 21 yrs of coaching and missing the Tournament roughly half the time, the answer is no. Not to mention never getting passed the S16. These are 2 of the arguments people say why Crean should be fired. It makes no sense.Sent from my SM-T377V using Tapatalk RedsIUfan and MikeRoberts 2 Quote
Tom White Posted March 11, 2017 Posted March 11, 2017 The 'but' could be read in more in more than one way:As in: "y'all didn't believe me but here he comes." Or"I said before it was Alford, but things have changed."I don't see two ways to read it at all. The second makes sense. The first does not. Quote

He did say but at the end, that can be an awfully big word. I noticed the but, too, but figured it's an abbreviation for something. I'd been more intrigued if the smiley face was after the but. Quote
IU Hoosier41 Posted March 11, 2017 Posted March 11, 2017 I'm trying to figure out why Donovan isn't on the voting pollHe's not realistic. And 99% of people would pick him. We all know that. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners Hoosierfan2017, WayneFleekHoosier and IUsafety 3 Quote
Hovadipo Posted March 11, 2017 Posted March 11, 2017 I don't see two ways to read it at all. The second makes sense. The first does not.This isn't really true. Most people would insert a smiley face or Kermit drinking tea or something like that after the but. And it would make just as much since as the second scenario. Quote

sirhoosierlot Posted March 11, 2017 Posted March 11, 2017 Who posted Alford coached teams adjust defense stat? Quote

Not a done deal by any means but he's still in playHe's only realistic if he WANTS to come back to college. The other guys are already in college and therefore can make a decision on which school is best. Donovan is in a completely different category than the rest. Indiana won't lure him back to college basketball. He has to want to go back, then Indiana could be a good fit. HUGE difference.

Beachfront Property Posted March 11, 2017 Posted March 11, 2017 32 minutes ago, Feathery said: Crean hasnt either. The Zeler Olidipo team was not good enough. Fans will argue it was, but the stats dont lie. The defense wasnt good enough. Just like Alords forst UCLA team was close statistically but not good enough both teams failed in the sweet 16. The only coach who has consistantly put out offenses and defenses together to win it all, not at a blue blood, is Gregg Marshall. People here dont want him. Bennett is close. I am with you on Marshall. He is my #1 choice. Wins every year without the inherent advantages we have at IU. CR3AMnCR1MS0N, Happydaze, Josh and 3 others 6 Quote

Popular Post biteoftheapple Posted March 11, 2017 Popular Post Posted March 11, 2017 Alford is not on my list, but if the hire happens, which I doubt, I would back him 100% until proven otherwise. GloryDays, ALASKA HOOSIER, Hoosierfan2017 and 5 others 8 Quote
