Blind optimism, or...?

So apparently there is a rift on the team. Blackmon is a part of it and Johnson possibly. Not surprised, although I will say rob has been my favorite player the past 2 years. Hope he doesn't go anywhere after the season

I have never really believed that JBJ was good for a team environment. I think it has to frustrate players to see him get as much PT as he does when he doesn't even try on D.  I think thats a good chunk of why we improved when he went down.

Im guessing the calls to donate from IU will slow down now. Obviously they have too much money coming in since they are refusing revenue.

For me with Blackmon, it's his selfishness. I've seen him drive in the lane with 3 guys on him and get swatted too many times. That's got to get old for his teammates. If James had the same mindset on O that he did against Iowa in the BTT he could've had a monster assist year.

Well, I have to admit that JBJ & family were the first I thought of when news of internal strife was going around.  If for no other reason than the fact that his parents have been at pretty much every game over the last month.  Glass's decision to forego the home game probably wasn't real popular with Mr. & Mrs. Blackmon.

Where have you seen this? All I've seen is nothing but speculation at the very most.

This is exactly why we should all be hoping the season ends tonight. The entire storyline has become one giant phone game.

One person says "Tom Crean is interested in Missouri." Ten people later, it gets twisted into "Tom Crean bought interest in a company called Miss Who."

This entire thing has gone so far beyond lame at this point, it's ridiculous.

Mile on 247. I believe him, but he never posts unless he has solid info. You're free to believe what you wish

"Root for an IU loss so rumors are easier for the fans to keep track of" is a new twist on the tank game.

I still believe sanity and reason will prevail in the end and the change will be made as soon as our NIT time is over---so I am going to TRY to quit fretting and root my Hoosiers on to victory. Winning or losing a NIT game isn't going to change anything. However you want to cut it---the season has been a huge disappointment with great talent. Again--I like Tom and appreciate his dedication and hard work. I was on the Crean train for a long time because I wanted to give him a chance to prove himself. He has had plenty of time and just wasn't able to get it done on a consistent basis. No hard feelings and I wish him well. Just ready to find the coach who will get us the rest of the way there! Let's go Hoosiers!

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.

Imo they both were greedy as heck with timeouts however bob i think used to like to toughen his team up and see how they responded not sure crean has a clue the other team has momentum lol

A guy over on Peegs who's relative is close with a board member says discussions of a two year extension for recruiting purposes have started up as a backup plan...

Boot.... I hate you. But I also like you. Darn you and these conflicting emotions with which I have been stricken.

.....Well done.

i didnt get on the fire ctc until the ipfw loss and then the 2 home losses especially the one to nebraska

[cljones1979 740]

i have a feeling we are going to be like ohio state was last year with 5 transfers if crean stays on. if he leaves and we get a good coach then that could change

Rifts always develop when you're on a bad team.  I wouldn't read a whole lot into it.  Especially at this point in the season.

My thoughts weren't even really directed at you, per say. So I apologize if you were annoyed.

I think we can all agree that storylines have become out of control. 

One thing is for sure: IU has a lot of unnamed sources.

EXACTLY!  Bob didn't use his timeouts because he was like, "Boys, u don't wanna do what I say, u ain't getting a timeout.  Figure it out or look like trash!"  The man knew how to prove a point!  Unlike Crean.

[Hurryin'Hoosier317 57]

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

He can clap 🏻 all the way out the door.

Not exactly my point. More like root for an ending tonight so the lame soap opera and rumors will be close to ending, or at least draw closer to ending.

I can't be the only one thinking this.

[theriverpilot 5,607]

I still have a coworker that says "How can you fire a coach that won the B1G last year and was COY?". Refuses to acknowledge the entire body of work and mediocrity. He can't see the forest for the trees. Says the Crean haters aren't "true fans" then in the same breath stammers "If they fire Crean, I hope they lose every game next year".
