TOM CREAN FIRED

[jdailey1981 155]

The biggest ace in Alford's hand he can tell players, "You see that 1987 banner? I was on that team." Outside of that, I am not fully sold he is the man for the job.

I graduated in 83 from THS. Only mine was Teutopolis High School!

Simmer down my fellow Hoosiers! We are all working ourselves into a frenzy... sounding like a bunch of purdue people after the Hoosiers beat them. Forget about a new coach and get back to what is most important. Coach Crean needs to go away. Once that is done, we can look at coaches. Stay on topic

Not so worried about Crean going away. He's a goner. 

More worried our AD will make a mistake when replacing him!

You were on the 87 team?

I'm 51 and I'm right there with you. Let's get a good coach who teaches fundamentals and defense. That ain't Steve...

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.

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.

Steve Alford is #notgood

I'm not sure I would even bother watching the games, that would be an awful hire.

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.

I'm trying to figure out why Donovan isn't on the voting poll

He's not realistic. And 99% of people would pick him. We all know that.

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.

People would pick him and for good reason. And I do think he's realistic. Not a done deal by any means but he's still in play

[Rookie33 932]

The but was clearly a typo

Agreed - he meant to type #iubb

[sirhoosierlot 2,656]

Who posted Alford coached teams adjust defense stat?

He'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.

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.

Hey right down the road.

Yes. A school in Illinois that takes its Basketball as serious as any Indiana school.
