Hurryin'Hoosier317 Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 This is an embarrassment guys. Not only to us as fans, but to the program. Never did I think we would have people this disconnected and disinterested in our program. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. A change needs to be made or else I fear our stands will be empty next year. One would think that Fred can see this coming. But then again he has had me and many of us scratching our heads lately. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app ALASKA HOOSIER 1 Quote

Sent from my SM-G935P using BtownBanners mobile app I think he's like one of three. Not sure Weber played cbb either, but I think he had an actual reason and could have played if he wanted to. Crean on the other hand barely played high school basketball. Yes, you read that correctly. I'm fairly certain he didn't play beyond his freshmen year. Quote

Popular Post Stromboli Posted March 13, 2017 Popular Post Posted March 13, 2017 Just weighing in/doing my duty as a forum member to get this thing to 1K. We've noted some weird stuff going on. Giving up a home game? That's just unprecedented. Home court advantage is an asset we have. There is no way that Glass doesn't appreciate that giving up the home game has repercussions. In my opinion, he would not have taken such a step unless we are already in the realm of the extraordinary. Unfortunately, missing the NCAA tournament no longer qualifies as extraordinary. But an imminent coaching change sure would. I'm not celebrating any of this. The whole situation stinks. IU has become a punchline since the IPFW loss. Our players committed to the jersey, and they are spending their college days on this underperforming $#!+ show. We just wasted one of those rare years where you seemingly have the elements for a deep run. We have recruits and young players wondering what the heck is going on. And we have a fanbase that sees a disconnect between their expectations and those of the university. These next couple weeks/months will include a few coaching announcements, reports of which players are leaving, and really just a picture of what the Hoosiers will be next. In my estimation Fred Glass has taken his job seriously with a measured approach up until now. Because I view the current actions as extraordinary, I believe that Mr. Glass will continue to act consistent with his past actions. The evidence is there now that the measured approach means we replace the coach in an attempt to improve the success of the program. I'm rambling. I still hope we drop a 20 pt win on GT tomorrow. Go Hoosiers. GloryDays, ALASKA HOOSIER, kottke and 5 others 8 Quote
HoosierCoop Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 If you were a top recruit, would you want to play for an N.I.T. team? Not even close on exposure...this little stumble has set us back even more. This is more than just missing the tournament! Glass has to realize this. Quote

He is not the only one at the D1 level. Roy Williams is probably the most notable. He played JV for one season, but never played D1.
