TOM CREAN FIRED

[KingPG21]

Our defense was absolutely horrible. Again, our defense isn't good enough when we aren't hitting our shots. Exact reason I'll be shocked if we make it past the sweet sixteen

We're also an entirely different team when he's playing his strengths as a baseline cutter and rebounder. He's an incredibly valuable asset.

But, clearly he's not playing well and has been on the bench pretty much the entire game because of it, which I fully agree with.

 

So he plays to his strengths maybe 20% of the time, on a good day, and we should play him?  I'd reduce his minutes to the first couple of the game.  If he's bad Troy I'd go ahead and send him to the locker room.  Kid just hasn't developed into a basketball player.

Not made about half of the fan base be in a state of mind that they just do not care anymore.

You are right. But should we still hold that against Davis?

[HoosierAloha]

Also, our FG% has plummeted recently.  Tired legs or...?

[Brass Cannon]

Crean has done just as much if not more damage than Davis.

Davis might have started the trend but I made it through those years. I have not made it through the Crean years. 

[JSHoosier]

Continuing to play Troy shows me some possibilities.

 

1.  Crean is the worst coach in the Big Ten

2.  He is under absolutely no pressure to actually perform as a head coach

 

or the much more likely possibility

 

3.  BOTH

I wouldn't say he's the worst coach in the B1G, but he's a far cry from the best.

sweet sixteen? Not a chance. No coach. Limited ability to win on road or neutral court. Typical season here. We've seen it 6 of 7 years.

Ha I will strongly disagree to that. From start of tenure for both until the end. You really think Crean did more damage than Davis? Riiiiiiigggggghhhhhttttt.....

Sure you have. You are still here posting.

[seanmm1971]

Well I think I am to the point where I want us to lose the next 7 because that might force them to actually consider making a change. Its not like we are going to do anything this year anyway. We can't do squat away from the Hall

Really? Pathetic.

Davis at least excited the fan base with going to the title game. Then he spiraled out of control.

You weren't very old then were you?

I am posting here but basically do not watch any games really. I will always love IUBB, but its just becoming harder.

I was on campus at the time and even though I wanted Davis gone I still tried watching every game.  Now, it doesn't bother me if I miss the game because it's been a while since I can say I really enjoyed watching Indiana play.

I'm really struggling to find one that is worse.  The Gophers have played us way tougher than their talent should have allowed.  Penn State beat us because of being outcoached.  Eddie Jordan maybe below him, but not so sure. 

[brandct]

You weren't very old then were you?

 

16 I think. I know it was not him that got them there it was the team that played together and made it there despite the lack of coaching.

Then how do you know right when a game is over to post in this thread? Impressive

[Brass Cannon]

Really? Pathetic.

 

Pathetic that I want to suffer now to have a better performance later?  Its what UK did, they didn't settle for mediocrity they kept changing till they found their guy.  And since our AD won't make a change we need to force him to..

If we fire Crean I hope Troy leaves with him. I wouldn't not even in the least bit be sad when I Dont watch Troy dribble it off his knee for a turnover, or shoot an awful jumpshot
