Crean accomplishes significantly less. Don’t kid yourself

LOL, Painter never made it past the Sweet 16 and won 1 additional BIG championship in 5 extra years.

Rick Majerus was NEVER healthy enough to be coaching.

Probably not but he was a hell of a coach anyway.

And won 2/3s of his games for 5 straight years Creans longest streak of that was 1

Outside of a handful of games his offense really isn't good. I don't know what you expect him to be on that end. He shot 37% this year with 2.9 apg. Not a starting caliber B1G PG as of now. 

Where did I mention anything about his scoring? I said TO’s. All I wanted Rob to do today was be smart with the ball. Ohio State is not a defensive elite team so there’s no reason he couldn’t have had more assists than TO’s.

If Romeo has a decent chance at getting drafted.... Take it! Don’t risk a career ending injury without getting any money. Take the money and run dude. Personally though.... right now..... I don’t think he will thrive in the Association. Hope he does.

And you really think that would have kept the calls for Painter to be fired from getting really loud if he'd coached at IU? When I first noticed your signature I assumed you'd lost a bet, now I'm starting to wonder....

The dude wins. What more do you want?

[Walking Boot of Doom]

Well that sucks.

I know I need to cool off from this loss, and I'm sure as heck pissed about this overall disappointing season, but there will be a tomorrow.  Miller will figure it out, or maybe he wont.  Some players will leave, some will stay.  Some players will choose IU, others wont.  There will always be ups and downs.  Indiana might never be as good as they once were--as much as we might all wish to relive those glory days of the late 20th century--there is a possibility that we never get that back.  But as long as Indiana puts out a product, I'm going to try to be supportive.  I'm not preaching to anyone in particular, except, however, myself.

Keion Brooks could really help the mood around here for the off-season.

 

Hard to see Holtmann go 4-0 against us after we handed him to OSU. No guarantee he would have came but it would have been likely in my eyes.

So is this .500 thing for NIT thing just a myth?

I am there with you and agree.  Unfortunately tomorrow is likely to suck too when Keion chooses UK. Lol

And if it happens, that's okay.  Wherever he goes, he is likely choosing it, in part or in whole, because it feels like the best place/step towards his goal of playing in the NBA.  I can't fault a kid for that.  I might not like his choice, but I respect his decision to make it.

I’d like to see Romeo come back for his 2nd year. Prove he is that Stud!

At IU, they want titles.  The mist criticism I ever heard a coach get was Crean for losing to Syracuse.  He was never forgiven for that.

[Napleshoosier]

Cuz I think a 2nd year Romeo would kick @$$!

What I want is to understand how someone can hold Painter up as "dude that wins" and Purdue as a consistently successful program despite their wins and success being only marginally better than IU's. I'm trying to figure out if it is a complete lack of perspective or more of a recency bias thing. Purdue has been near their ceiling for much of Painter's term and IU has been at their floor for much of the last two decades and yet PU's ceiling is pretty similar to IU's floor.

Because it’s not marginally better lol. 

You seem to think that losing in the sweet sixteen is similar to missing the tourney.

Comparing Holtmann's and Archie's first 2 years is not really fair. Yes, Archie did not do a great job, and the team should have been better, but Holtmann took over a team that was full of solid upperclassmen. Indiana plays 1 senior, 2 juniors (who both missed a lot of time this year), and the rest sophomores and freshmen. They took over teams that had performed poorly the year before, but the talent and experience were very different.

At the time it was considered a bigger project by most. 

Holtmann has done more with less two years in a row
