So maybe Joe Belden will be right after all?

Hey, as long as he's right about who we get.

Okay, what happened to all my emoticons on here?  I have like 5 to pick from.

As long as Crean isn't here. That's the main thing

Doyel is a writer, not a reporter. He is paid to write his opinion for what reason, I have no clue. There's something about being an actual reporter, hell or being a forum commentator that does such research as looking at flight tracker or even looking for a specific SUV at an airport. Doyel sticks his head out the window and sniffs the air for his research most of the time.

I haven't seen or read anything to make me believe that Doyel is wrong. Everyone talking about Donovan and Stevens coming to IU are doing the same thing Doyel's doing.. I have a feeling there are going to be a lot of pissed off Indiana fans come November 2017 when Crean is still on the sidelines. 

[Hoosier Guy]

Yeah JS I only have 5 emoticons to choose from as well

Basically he said a better conference than the B1G and Crean's relative coached there last year.  I'm pretty sure even pUKe fans could figure that one out.

Crean would get eaten alive there. In a better conference at a worse school? Yikes. Oh well, not our problem if he's not here.

Nah, they'd probably guess the Baltimore Ravens

Just as a refresher, I went back and re-read the statement about Crean that FG issued two years ago.  In it he specifically said CTC should be judged not on past results but going forward (and the ability to "start achieving our program goals").  Here's his expectations and the results two years later:

"My goals for this program are to perenially contend for (Nope, not this year) and to win multiple Big Ten championships (1 out of 2, 'incomplete'), regularly go deep in the NCAA tournament (Nope, fail) and win our next national championship (Nope, not close)," Glass said. "Be elite (Nope, not even close), if you will. As a lifelong Hoosier and IU basketball fan, alumnus and current AD, nobody wants that more than me (Nope, that doesn't appear to be true at all)."

Which relative coached there?

I agree. As I've said IU was between a rock and a hard place. Sterling has also been pretty anti-crean to my understanding.

What year was when crean left Zeller on the bench with 4 fouls until the game was almost over in which we lost at home

We only lost two home games in Zeller's tenure.  In January 2012 vs Minnesota and January 2013 vs Wisconsin.  I don't know which game you're referencing here.

Gottfried and Crean by marriage I suppose.

Imagine him going against Duke and UNC with lesser talent multiple times.  Or Bennett's defense.

It'd be like playing Wisconsin 5 or 6 times.

and senior night net cutting embarrassment vs OSU. That to me despite all the ups and downs remains the low point in Crean's tenure.

i was on 247 and an supposed nc state fan came on and said he has not heard or seen any mention of crean on any forums by any insiders fwiw.

Wow.  The parts about "a lot of other crap going on with the team" and "not everyone makes the trip (players & staff) point to some real potential turmoil going on.  Just a week ago we were wondering if we'd be getting a home run coach hired and now we're left wondering if the whole program is about to go up in flames. smh
