GaryP Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 A hard NO on that one. Iowa State thought the same thing when they hired him in 2006. He was never better than .500 there. He had a losing record over 4 years and only beat a ranked team once. I am a grad of Iowa State and Indiana, and the years he coached at ISU were some very down years in terms of results and excitement.Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app Quote
Walking Boot of Doom Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 Gregg Doyel is finally letting his true feelings out, but under a veil of excuse making.Clearly is personal feelings towards the Crean's have affected his journalistic integrity as of late.

I'm just ready for the season to be over, both because I'm sick of watching sloppy basketball and because it should get us closer to knowing our future. [I do remember with great fondness when we beat Purdue for the NIT title several moons ago. Not as much because it was a great accomplishment, but because it was yet another chance to win something that Giant Drum University failed at.] ALASKA HOOSIER and IUHAHN81 2 Quote

Chris Nieman Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 (edited) So, let me get this straight, Fred Glass has been in hiding, he finally appears on Kent Sterlings show, and Kent doesn't ask him anything about Crean because "we already know the answer." ??? Think I might be washing my hands of all of this and be done. Edited March 13, 2017 by Chris Nieman Tom White and VO5 2 Quote
Yogi's Picnic Basket Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 Mr. Obvious, Doyel. Wonder how much revenue this cost us.Honestly this is a good article and he makes good points. The emphasis on him saying Glass made his decision two weeks ago says to me Crean is gone and has been. He is exactly right too. Why would either party even want to continue the relationship at this point? I sure as heck don't know but Doyel coming on board is big. He is the most respected journalist in the area. Sterling gets Glass's interviews first and Doyel gets Creans. That is big in the sense that were losing all of our faithful fans as I type this. The only way to bring them back now is to make the move. Let us hope for a L tomorrow night and a presser Wednesday or Thursday.

Uwe Robb Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 I am not a big Gregg Doyel fan exactly because he does flip flop like he has in weeks past, but this is a great article. I agree with pretty much all of it. Kepner, Alford Bailey and IU Hoosier41 3 Quote

Think I might be washing my hands of all of this and be done. Sounds like a good reason to not tune in to Sterling's show. How can he let Glass go without even trying to get an answer? Unbelievable.

Hoosierfan2017 Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 I don't like Doyel but he was completely on the money with this: "Indiana admitted defeat by declining a home game on national television." Now we see if Glass is okay with defeat or if he does something to change it. mdn82 1 Quote

Uwe Robb Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 I wonder if any of Josh Pasnter's free tix are right behind the IU bench. I will go to gam in ATL in full IU gear, candy stripes and all and root for GT the entire game. Tell them they could have made it a lot easier on me if they would have played in Btown.

This is sickening.Sent from my SM-J700T using TapatalkIs it a coincidence that all these reporters love him and won't say anything bad about him. I still say it is part of his deception to make all the right people like him so that he is always portrayed in a good light. Too bad Indiana HS coaches don't report the news. We might have something there.Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Quote

If we get word Crean is staying I think we'll all put down the keyboard and go outside with a glass of lemonade. This is only exciting when we have a prospect of winning. If there's no change, I doubt we'll give as much attention to the issue. I just read the article. Doyel is just jumping on the bandwagon. The declined NIT game is maybe 1%, and really just a symptom of the fracture that already existed. If he couldn't see it, then that's his problem. Hoosierfan2017, Kepner and Tom White 3 Quote

Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app They are not at the same level as IU with regards to recruiting and tradition, but have similar strength in facilities and they get their fair share of 4 star guys. The biggest problem that McDermott had there is that he would get good recruits, who would then transfer out after a year or 2. It was a constant revolving door. There was a lot of complaint about his system being too structured and not allowing any freedom. Perhaps it was just that specific situation, but it certainly impacts my thoughts. Josh 1 Quote
