So, I was at the BTT this past week and spoke with fans from maybe 6 or 7 BT teams.  They all thought that i was over-reacting when i told them that i wanted Crean fired. I then proceeded to ask them if they would swap coaches with us...and not one...not even the Rutgers fans would swap.  That says a lot.  

Rutgers has fans?

I believe Crean is a stand up guy like Vitale said. Having said that, I think he has reached his ceiling and needs to leave.

I'd like to see him stand up...stand up, start walking...leave...however it happens. Have a feeling I'm gonna be disappointed.

I had an 84 yo patient in today for 2.5 hours.

He is firmly couched on the Fire Tom Crean bandwagon. It was awesome. He had all the same complaints we do. Including recruiting complaints. Sounded like a true to life BTBer.

Not gonna happen.  Would have to beat Syracuse.  I seem to remember a couple of recent games against them.  Tommy seemed to be in a bit over his head.

My wife and I were waiting for a dinner table a couple weeks ago. We went to the bar for a drink while we waited. There was an older couple (70s/80s) and their kids (50's), and the this 70/80 year old guy was going off on Crean. I just stood there and smiled listening. Music to my ears.

Approximately 5, give or take 5.

I wouldn't worry about winning the first game. They're something like 10-2 at home..

Making Hay.Lots of it!

rumor mill is at a dead stop today. should have figured as much with the game tonight

Definitely has been a different feel on the boards the past couple of days....people getting worried and whatnot. Is there anyone out there who still think there should be no doubt Crean will be gone?

I am getting the feeling that he will be back, and I am thinking that it will be a very toxic situation.

Pay up son!  I wouldn't sit in any dentist's chair for 2.5 hours let alone Fleek a/k/a Dr. Christian Szell!      

Besides, to sit in a dentist's chair, you have to have teeth!   Pass some more of that soup and mashed potatoes will you?

 

[Dr. Szell was Dustin Hoffman's dentist in Marathon Man.  Great movie if you've never seen it.]

Kind of running out of things to talk about, so I had a funny thought today. In every way I can think of, Tom Crean is the exact opposite of Bob Knight. I mean, I could make a list. From game management, to media relations, tempo, strategy... I really can't think of one way they are not opposed.

Finally got home and had a chance to read Doyel's column. First, I have a healthy skepticism for people who tell me they're the most transparent, honest, etc., etc. because almost without exception, that's bullsh!t.

Having said that, and if for only the entertainment value of it, his column said enough "right" things about the situation to give it a thumbs up. I still think he plays both sides of the middle, but give him credit when at last he finally notices, like so many others did years ago, that the emperor has no clothes.

The easiest and most simple way to define the two is this: Bob Knight is a Champion. Tom Crean isn't.

Bob Knight for all his faults was a leader.  Its why players he treated like crap still liked him.  

Tom Crean lets them have whatever they want so they will like him and instead they just walk all over him.

You can lead through fear, you can lead through respect.  You can not lead by just giving a group everything they want IE Guaranteeing somebody they will start.
