But reading that quote it sure sounds like the Alford rumors have merit. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners Sounds like a guy who wants to be Indiana's coach. We've heard rumors from the same people that said Crean was being fired that Alford has been ruled out by Glass. southsidehoosier and thebigweave 2 Quote

HoosierDribbler Posted March 20, 2017 Posted March 20, 2017 Let the trustees and Glass know what you think. Quote

Popular Post Dalton26 Posted March 20, 2017 Popular Post Posted March 20, 2017 Hell no to Alford. He's on par with Crean coaching wise but a 10x worse human being. Keep him as far away from our program as he can be. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners CR3AMnCR1MS0N, Kepner, Class of '66 Old Fart and 5 others 8 Quote
RTJ85 Posted March 20, 2017 Posted March 20, 2017 UCLA fans don't even want Alford. That's telling. http://www.bruinsnation.com/ucla_basketball/2017/3/19/14977182/have-indiana-hoosiers-offered-ucla-bruins-steve-alford-a-7-yr-31m-contract "So, let me get this straight. According to this report, Adidas is about to get suckered into paying UCLA another $7.8 million to take our basketball coach of questionable moral character who has never made it past the Sweet 16 off our hands? Now, this is an Adidas check that Dan Guerrero should send Tyus Edney to cash!" Quote

bmemmer Posted March 20, 2017 Posted March 20, 2017 There have been no flights from okc to Indy or to btown this morning. Could it be he flew in last night of course but I really didn't have time to go through all the flight history. Plenty of websites you guys can look at. Just Google flight historySent from my LG-H820 using BtownBanners mobile app Quote

If you think about it, it was pretty amazing how few people actually knew about Crean being fired. If this is left up to Glass, and I'm not totally sure it is, I bet select few actually really know what is going on. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app What gives me some hope is that the same posters that were saying there'd be a press conference and that Crean was probably gone are the same ones saying Donovan. thebigweave and ALASKA HOOSIER 2 Quote
Travis Scott Posted March 20, 2017 Posted March 20, 2017 Just going to throw this out there... Steve Alford's UCLA team has a TOTAL of 9 turnovers in the tournament so far after only giving up the ball 3 times last night in a game that they scored 79 pts. schoosier, Tom White, IUsafety and 2 others 5 Quote

WayneFleekHoosier Posted March 20, 2017 Posted March 20, 2017 Dakich thinking its Alford is concerning considering the Alford/Dakich connection.

Capt. Crimson Posted March 20, 2017 Posted March 20, 2017 If it turns out to be Alford, pretty much anyone who has claimed to be an insider during this process loses a massive amount of credibility. Kepner, ALASKA HOOSIER and Hoosier_roots 3 Quote
GloryDays Posted March 20, 2017 Posted March 20, 2017 If UCLA wants to employ him that's fine. Doesn't make him a fine upstanding guy though. Just means they compromised their integrityYeah,because they have so much to spare. ALASKA HOOSIER 1 Quote
mdiu28 Posted March 20, 2017 Posted March 20, 2017 43 minutes ago, WayneFleekHoosier said: I hope IF it's Alford, the fanbase can give him a solid 3 years of support to prove himself in the way we did for Crean. The hatred towards him has me scared of what could be coming. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners I don't think its hatred but rather frustration - with our administration. I mean, take a look at what you just wrote. "I hope the fanbase can give him a solid 3 years." Does that sound like a home run hire? Does that sound like the kind of coach we're looking for? No, that sounds like another Crean, another mediocre hire- "alright lets give him a chance and see how it goes, guys." NO. Glass needs to make the right hire NOW. A proven guy and to me, Alford just isn't that guy. It's that simple. theriverpilot, mdn82, ALASKA HOOSIER and 3 others 6 Quote

Tom White Posted March 20, 2017 Posted March 20, 2017 I don't think its hatred but rather frustrationMaybe for some. But, as I read through various posts in various threads, it is definitely hatred on the part of others. WayneFleekHoosier 1 Quote
