Tony Bennett Press Conference

After watching the 1st 4 minutes of this press conference I am more convinced than ever that this is the man for the future of IU basketball.  Send a written apology to every member of his family for the way that his sister was dismissed.  Make a public statement apologizing to her.  Open the coffers and pay him whatever it is that he wants.  Just a few things that he did in this one press conference

1. Downplayed a victory against a top 5 team by speculating that UNC did not have their best night

2. Criticized his players shot selection

3. Took the blame for not giving his players enough structure in previous games.

4. Talked about specific little things that need to be done to win

5. Highlighted Defense and commitment to defensive principles

6. Spoke about this being the time of year where fundamentals win games

 

Things he did not do

1. Talk about how young his team is (9 of 14 are underclassmen), though he was specifically asked about his freshmen

2. Bring up injuries or surgeries from years past

3. Throw players under the bus

4. Talk with sensitivity about the confidence of his players

5. Reference deflections

6.Reference ANY metric

7.Cry

8.Use the phrase, "play faster" He actually said that they had been working on slowing down.

9. Look at anytime like a cartoon character

I doubt he comes to IU. He turned us down once, he'll do it again. Plus, Virginia has a good thing over there right now. Much better than us.

We can double his salary and increase his recruiting budget tenfold. 

Just have to hope the fact the old administration is gone matters.

I love going back and reading Crean's old tweets. Some of them are so ironic.

What is that Dustin Nance guy talking about? Or is he just talking to hear himself talk.
