HoosierAloha Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 Just watched a snippet of Katz Corner. He blamed it all on the injuries and said it would be quite an accomplishment if Crean got this team to the tourney with OG and Hartman out... W.T.FThe other dude made it sound like he was going to excuse the season because of the injuries before stating Crean is 69-88 in B1G play. It ended up seeming to imply that it wasn't good enough.

Sad that he's one of our own. 52 minutes ago, HoosierTrav said: DESPISE him. May be a bigger ego maniac than Crean. My take is that he may be a bit of a tool, but that most of his shtick is just an act to keep his ratings up... kind of a PeeWee Herman meets Steven Colbert with a basketball twist. Of course, I could be way off, too. Alford Bailey, Stuhoo and VO5 3 Quote

VO5 Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 Has the injury excuse ever been more used in sports than in Crean's time here? I'm obviously exaggerating but It gets SO old hearing "injury this, injury that". Every year good coaches have players go down with injury and it's next man up. If I never heard it again I'd be ecstatic. Quote

I had been stalking this site for years but never signed up until I was forced to today in order to read the posts. I chose Hoosier in NC as I live outside of Winston-Salem. Second, I had a feeling NCSU was going to fire Gott and was afraid they would go after Archie, who is towards to the top of my list to replace Crean. 38 minutes ago, Class of '66 Old Fart said: Thanks LI. I wondered how many noticed. I'm on vacation and having ahelluva time keeping up with all of you! Seen several new posters not just on this thread but in the IU baseball thread as well. Glad to have you all join us, hope we're not too boring! LOL PSA...41 made the site member only to read, as well. This isn't because we hate guests, but because there is a bug that has been sending mods reports from "guests" that are truly just spam. Like, 15 a day? I'd say, idk but it's linked to most of our personal emails so it was getting annoying. Str8Hoosiers, HoosierAloha, thebigweave and 1 other 4 Quote

If I never heard it again I'd be ecstatic. For me, the worst part of all is when Crean "drops" the injury thing into the conversation and immediately follows it up with "but that's not an excuse". He's as shrewd as they come... laying it out there and immediately discounting it... but now he's put it in your mind. I guess he thinks we're all (fans, sports media, etc) that dumb. schoosier 1 Quote

Hoosier Guy Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 The injury excuse is not valid. This team was bad before the injuries. I can't believe Katz and the rest of the media believe this injury crap. They're obviously not that intelligent if they honestly believe that Quote
Yogi's Picnic Basket Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 Rumors seem real about NC State wanting to interview Crean. Goodman also posted an insider article with Crean as a replacement for Gotfried. This could be more real than most actually expected. I dont think Crean can technically interview until let go though.

Yogi's Picnic Basket Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 They are literally the same coach but Gottfried might be a little better at recruiting.I really dont care. If someone like them are willing to bring him in it will make it a lot easier to "mutually part ways". It is probably our most promising exit for him. Not saying it dont happen otherwise just think this will take the drama away. Missouri or NC State will interview him or both. I think there is a 75% chance he is gone. Last week it was 50/50 so this is good news.Sent from my LGLS676 using BtownBanners mobile app thebigweave, Alford Bailey and Feathery 3 Quote
