TOM CREAN FIRED

[IUHAHN81]

All this back and forth "I heard this!" "No I heard THIS!" Is straight up making my brain have a seizure!  I don't even know my name anymore.  I'm lost!

I've seen less drama on Lifetime TV network I think :/

Try Mississippi State then.  It's the SEC, you'll inevitably find a place that doesn't give a crap about basketball and when you find them just them them he coached DWade.  On the off chance they ask why we don't want him, lie you arse off.

Crean should have the entire starting team coming back next year since Blackmon and Bryant are not NBA ready. He needs to reach the Final Four otherwise the IU Fan base will become turncoats once again.

Blackman, Bryant and OG are not back next year imo even with crean. Bryant and OG NBA draft, and Blackman does a troy Williams and shoots for long shot NBA or Europe

I've given you some leeway but let's cut that turncoat crap out really quick. I'll put a stop to that really fast.

Everyone said the same thing after the 2012 season "we have everyone back, time for the final 4". We had way more talent on the 2013 team than we have next year and still couldn't get past a Syracuse 2-3 zone. I'm sick of waiting for next year. I'm a Cubs fan and waited 32 years for next year. IU basketball is not a "next year" program.

Most IU fans I talked to this year thought we are at least going to another sweet 16 this year.

Even with Collin and OG going down, there's no excuse for us to not be in the dance. B1G isn't even that good.

Players and talent aren't in question. His poor coaching ability isn't in question anymore. It's a fact and this year solidified that.

As fans we're not even being that unrealistic.  We want consistency, but Crean has only ever been consistently inconsistent.  This thread wouldn't be nearly as long if his highs were a bit higher or lows not so "how the heck are you a college coach" low.

I can't speak redneck! Those toothless swamp jacks will find me out as soon as I post. Better call in one of their own kind to speak stupid.....Aloha! You up for the task?

There was a time where we won 11 Conference titles in a 20 year span.......unfortunately I was either not alive or too young to appreciate that run :(

Have we got anyone from Kentucky?  Surely living in that state they'd learn to speak inbred hilljack, might be close enough to communicate with people in Mississippi.

I've been away for too long and lost my ability to speak stupid. I'm sure you can consult one of your Army buds to translate stooopid for you.

I've lived in Kentucky for 11 years. I've become fluent in all of the redneckisms.

True, Crean has called out some players publicly with more vigor than normal. Probably more of a motivational tactic. 

It's not working!

Your mission, which you have no choice but to accept, is to convince any redneck fan base in the SEC that they do in fact want Crean as coach.  Ideally pick a fan base that truly doesn’t care about basketball, not difficult in that conference, and if they ask questions lie to the ends of the Earth; "he's a great defensive coach", "his teams place a high value on each possession", "he always takes responsibility for problems and resolves them" are all acceptable and even encouraged.

WTF. The fanbase is hardly "turncoats". Crean has had 9 years to prove his worth, and failed miserably. This thread is full of supporting evidence of Crean's lack of coaching ability... the two B1G championships included. Sure, his team won the league 2 years out of four... the same number as times in the past 4 years he's missed the NCAA tournament. Finishing near last in a down season with 2 McDonald's AA, a couple of 5 star recruits and countless 3 and 4 star recruits... flopping in the NCAA tournament with two fof the top 4 picks in the same NBA draft ...having a team that lacks basic fundamentals, and leads not only the B1G in turnover percentage... but darn near the top in the whole of D1 basketball... and missing on nearly every top rated recruit this year that he's even spoken to, let alone gone after.

Sounds like a bunch of fickle, turncoat fans to me.

Time to head back to the west coast and stop trolling the forum.
