TOM CREAN FIRED

Parrish and Norlander had a pretty extensive conversation on Friday's podcast about Crean and why NC State (or leaving IU in general) would be a smart move for him.

They made a really good point in that the "damage" is done with the fanbase. There really isn't any coming back from this, it's only going to become an uglier and uglier divorce.

Finally, talking heads that make sense. Totally agree with this.

Ive got a coworker who has connections to Ohio State, where Wilson ended up. From what they are saying, Wilson's departure happened to keep IU from being sued. There was a pending lawsuit by families and Wilson leaving put out that fire.


And Fred skated

Does anyone here really think Mizzo or another decent program is going to want to pay what CTC wants?

 





For a minute there I thought I had gone to deep into the spongebob tonight.


No he will never make 3.5 million at any other school.

I heard this on the radio the other day. UCLA reached out to hire Branch McCracken twice, and twice he turned down the job. Ultimately they hired John Wooden. IU reached out to hire Bobby Slick Leonard twice, and twice he turned down the job. IU then hired Bob Knight. And if the rumors are true, IU has reached out to Stevens twice now. Let's hope the man we hire is a home run!

2. Jay Wright has a motto of "Players play for their teammates and coaches; Actors play for the crowd". I agree and can't help but wonder why IU only plays for the crowd. I wish Thomas Bryant would read that line.

Could he read it without crying though?  Priority number one should be getting his emotional stability beyond that of a toddler.

Has anyone seen this Billy Donovan rumor post over on the Illini board?

Sounds intriguing to me.

Oh please let this be true and let that team be Indiana. I can only imagine what he could do at a true basketball school. I just wander if the money is there to pay north of 6M/yr for a contract.

Man, and that's the type of hire we need.  We NEED the rest of the B1G to be terrified.

I love the quote that stuck out to me: "Donovan at IU would be absolutely terrifying"

Or this exchange:

I'd highly highly highly doubt he comes here, but he sure as hell better not go to Indiana.

The thought makes me physically sick.

Billy Donovan would be absolutely amazing and the rest of the B1G would collectively crap themselves. He is the type of coach that puts fear into other programs. IU hasn't had that coach since RMK

Just read that thread, they were wetting themselves at the mere thought.
