Maynard Posted February 27, 2017 Posted February 27, 2017 I just read a Facebook thread of Wisconsin fans upset over the "out of control" number of turnovers Bucky has had this year. "This is not Wisconsin basketball" they say. "This carelessness cannot be accepted." Gor perspective, they are averaging just over 10 a game this year. In Crean's tenure IU is averaging 14.26 per game, and has only had more assists than turnovers in 4 of his 9 seasons. Davis had such 4 seasons in his shorter stint. I couldn't find the turnover stats for Knight coached teams, but I'm guessing they had more assists than turnovers in at least 80% of their seasons. ALASKA HOOSIER 1 Quote
Brass Cannon Posted February 27, 2017 Posted February 27, 2017 I always said I was sold on Gard. Like I have said the Big 10 was ours for the taking any othe coach in the state would be hanging another year on that championship banner. Not Crean though. Alford Bailey 1 Quote
Yogi's Picnic Basket Posted February 27, 2017 Posted February 27, 2017 I know people seem not to mention him because of his comfort level in Philly, but I would absolutely love Jay Wright. Nova is a private school so it is hard for him to make big money and he is losing 3 huge seniors this year. He makes 2.43 million dollars. We could offer him 5 million and it would be double his salary and more money towards suits lol. Seriously though I know it isn't a name people think would happen but if we think we can get Billy Donovan why not him if Billy says no?Sent from my LGLS676 using BtownBanners mobile app ALASKA HOOSIER, CrossboneIU22, MikeRoberts and 1 other 4 Quote
Yogi's Picnic Basket Posted February 27, 2017 Posted February 27, 2017 I know he passed on UK and Texas but Texas isn't IU. UK bothers me but they were a mess when they wanted him so and the allure of UK rubs some coaches the wrong way and he seems like one of them. Sent from my LGLS676 using BtownBanners mobile app Quote
Don Stewart Posted February 27, 2017 Posted February 27, 2017 If the back channels are working correctly they should be looking at Brad Stevens and Billy Donovan. If you can't get either of these then you should be contacting Scott Drew at Baylor. I don't see us having a shot at Jay Wright. Anyone beyond that is a lateral move. cljones1979 1 Quote
ctown2grhoosier Posted February 27, 2017 Posted February 27, 2017 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.Try not to use words like "responsibility", "possessions", or "resolves". They'll never understand those words. Try to dumb it down.Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using BtownBanners mobile app ALASKA HOOSIER 1 Quote
