BlueDevil Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 I'm very afraid we just hired Crean 2.0. Similar resumes and he's even awkward in interviews. I'll always be a fan, but I don't see the upside here. How have his recruiting classes been? Off what basis? This dude was coaching at a much smaller school at a whole different competition level than IU and produced. I'm not saying you at all but in general everyone just wants to look at the records and compare them and it's BS. The guy is a much better Xs and Os guy. If anything this comparison shows how **** Crean was at IU. People bring up that Archie hasn't accomplished enough.. I'm not sure what more people expect from someone coaching at the mid major level.

recker222000 Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 Here's the thing, literally every single national figure is saying this is a slam dunk/ home run hire. I understand the apprehension in it not being a huge name, but to write the guy off already or say you are "devastated" by the hire is patently stupid. RMK is not walking through that door and it seems like a lot of people still don't understand that, stop licking your wounds and feeling sorry for yourself. This was a great hire. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile appSean miller and thad matta both came from xavier and we not home run hires. Most home run coaches start at a xavier or dayton type of school. I guess its a risk but better than holtman or mack imo.Sent from my SM-J700T using Tapatalk Tom White and ALASKA HOOSIER 2 Quote

sirhoosierlot Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 Kostas was actually a Freshmen this year at Dayton, so he'd have to transfer, but I'd be cool with that. 6'10" small forward lol CR3AMnCR1MS0N and Napleshoosier 2 Quote

VeevlandBrowns Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 This is good get. This will FINALLY put the death knell to all those "OSU in waiting" stories out of Ohio. I have no doubt he coveted that job, but I was of the opinion that if IU is interested, you can't wait on whatever might be going on with Matta, because IU is an elite job. I wonder even how much it will change the dynamic, because like FCTC, Miller tended to recruit a fair amount of East Coast guys. Will Miller orient toward more of an Indiana-centric recruiting approach? Will be interesting to watch. Quote

You have to factor the tougher opponents vs. the better players. This balances out.. He had weaker opponents with worse players. ALASKA HOOSIER 1 Quote

Gahoosierfan Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 I feel a lot better now than I did when I heard the Crean hiring announcement 9 years ago. I definitely think he has a lot of potential and can lead us out of the wilderness. He can make this a consistent top twenty and usaually a top ten team. thebigweave, IUChamp28, Alford Bailey and 2 others 5 Quote

I don't understand the excitement and I want to be excited. Give me something other than...he didn't have it as good as Crean.Correct me if I'm wrong but he led Dayton to the elite 8 in 2014 and took them back to the sweet 16 a year later with a depleted roster and no over 6'6" due to giving some people the boot. 4 straight tourney appearances I mean he's done this all at a mid major program. He also took down Syracuse in 2014 which Crean couldn't even sniff. You still may not be convinced and that's not my point but I don't know what else people want. No one from a mid major is consistently going to make deep runs in the tournament not named gonzaga.Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners Tom White, Chris Nieman, southsidehoosier and 4 others 7 Quote

Let's see this one thru, I like it a lot CAM was at OSU and Arizona with his brother. It's my understanding that he helped (was lead recruiter?) at both places when they brought in high-level guys. If he can do that at IU, this will turn out pretty well I think. Quote
