He sounds very much like an apologist. Will talk about how IU right now isn't playing like a blue blood but will turn around and apologize left and right.

I respect all your opinions on Marshall.  I get the resemblance factor too.  It's not a deterrent for me though.  His record speaks for itself for me.  I wanted him when we hired Crean.  Albeit coming from Winthrop would have been a huge stretch to a place like IU tho.  Now, he's proven himself more.  That said, I'd take Billy, Tony, Gregg over what we have any day.  Heck, I'd even be happy with Alford over what we have.  Just not over other options.  lol

I don't know if you could've just contradicted yourself more if you tried.

Yup.  Hedging.  He just characterized poor seasons as simply "not optimal".  LOL.

Crean doesn't have to have a job to land somewhere else for him not to be the coach at Indiana.  I'm almost certain that Crean will NOT leave on his own.  Indiana University has no obligation to worry about what happens to Crean on Day +1, beyond what is contractually obligated to do. 

This is the fork in the road.  Either Crean gets an extension or he is fired.  If he gets an extension, Glass is officially responsible for everything that happens on and off the court afterward.  

Personally, I think he's going to let him go, but I have no information or sources beyond what I read 'round these here internets.  I think Crean ends up on ESPN next year talking about how great Lorenzo Romar's preparation and shoot around skills are.

I go back and forth on Alford.  Sometimes I feel I'd rather keep Crean, then I watch the game and suddenly Alford starts sounding better.

Biancardi was the same way last night. Even went as far as to imply next year's team could be a Sweet Sixteen team. These guys on the outside have no idea what's going on.

Agreed, you have to extend him or fire him.  Going into a lame duck year with a team that won't be any better, its just going to cause an even more toxic environment.

Crean would find a work to talk about deflections.

Imagine how toxic it'd be if Crean was extended, that is if people don't just tune out at that point.

The positive about hiring Alford would be to finally shut up the ones that continually pimp for him.  The negative is that if he fails to meet expectations, he'll be waaaay harder to get rid of than Crean.

Hickory Hoosier seems pretty well-sourced. RoadToZion is usually a quite sane 247 poster.

They both just said....

Kent really pushed him and when he asked if if IU was the 8th best program in the BT Mike said no. When presented with the facts that over the last four years that is what you get he was dumbfounded and began to turn a little.

Last night during the game the announcers kept singing Creans praises but would make many of the same complaints we make. Wow he just through that ball away without any pressure. Or what is Bryant doing behind the 3pt line down in the corner. If they had to watch every game like we do they would see but like Mike DeCoursey they make false assumptions about IU and act like the fans are idiots before looking at any facts.
