Ugh Tom Crean.

Hate that so many college coaches don't go for 2 for 1 at end of halves & possibly end. Looks like data backs me up. kenpom.com/blog/investiga…

I've seen more bad possessions happen as the result of teams trying it than I've seen good possessions as the result.

Rushed shots, other team takes their time for a good shot, then the first team is forced into another rushed shot.

No thanks.

No thanks.

You coach your team quick sets to get a good shot off quickly. The stats support it.

For example, a forced JBJ 3 pointer might be the shot we end up with either way so why not have another shot.

A good coach gets an open jumper in 5-10 seconds or a drive to the hoop.

And again, stats support it.

Makes you feel bad a bit.

 

(I know, he made $3 million a year blah blah blah)

[WayneFleekHoosier 47,976]

Not me. He tried hard. I respect that.

He's paid top 7-8 money to deliver top 7-8 results.

Classy man with a classy family. I'd take him over Marshall and Alford any day although I'm one of the founding fathers of the IU tank this past season.

We'll all miss you Crean.

High quality human being.

Quirky, manic personality that did not jibe with the IUBB culture. Results could have compensated for those deficiencies, but they weren't there.

Seriously? I don't feel this way AT ALL?

Just think back to how you felt watching IUBB this season. We needed a change. We hope it's a homerun, but we needed a change even if it's not.

I don't mean like full on miss, wish he was here. But he was fun to watch pacing the sideline, Indy 500 speeds through the handshake line, always adjusting his pants, classic terrible in bound plays. 

He was just entertaining, not a good coach.

Exactly. It was past time to move on we were getting nowhere with crean. Hoping for archie or billy d but even Alford will have a better shot than crean had from where we were at imo

I think maybe this should be it's own thread- as beloved as this one is- since it's his first time speaking but up to you USPS

I still can't believe he's gone. It's sort of surreal. 

[Travis Scott 248]

Joani: What are you thinking about Tom?

Tom: Swimming pools.

[Tak42 103]

Anyone on this thread with any credibility or just bunch of rumor mill hopefuls?
