"Throughs" instead of "throws" was certainly a new one. Can't say I've seen that one before. At least he tried to be different instead of being like everyone else by writing "to" instead of "too."

I would be thrilled with high 20s, low 30s win in a season. Cronin has won 30 games 3 times in his career. Anything can happen in a single elimination tournament. He made the FF in 2020-2021. Cronin, while not a “home run” hire … would be a very good hire.

You say that now, when its only hypothetical. But when we actually had a guy who got to 3 sweet 16's and 2 big ten titles in 5 years we couldn't stand it, so I find it hard to believe this fanbase would be OK with it.

I'm convinced there's one weirdo, multiple-personality type troll on here who has like 20 different accounts.

Crean would have one decent year and then completely fall off the cliff the next.  Cronin would provide much more stability.  And Crean was going nowhere but down.  He had burned every bridge in the state.  Things were only going to get worse.

It does seem that way.  Either that, or somebody with an agenda is paying 5-10 people to come here for “community engagement.”

Also I think given the trauma of Archie and Woodson people are forgetting how exhausting Crean was as a human being. This is something that the Wikipedia coaching records can never capture. What does it feel like for this person to be a character in our lives? Crean had some real positives. (Remember him taking McDonald’s to a person outside the restaurant?) But he was stubborn and defensive and awkward and honestly kinda manic. 
 

And he was inconsistent, and his trajectory was going down. Recruiting was tailing off locally and nationally. Juwan and OG were diamonds in the rough but we were all tired of an irritating coach who wouldn’t adjust his turnovers or defense and who also needed to find diamonds in the rough. 
 

Most days, I remember the good parts of the Crean era. But it was time to move on from him, and it’s worth reflecting on the legit bad parts too.

You do realize that the time and date that you listed make absolutely zero sense right, but I do like the confidence.

I agree.  He not only left dysfunctional lockeroom players for Archie Miller to clean up.  And from my perspective, IU administration would not agree to let Archie get rid of a few and bring in his guy.  

Zeller saved Crean's butt.  But it was time for Crean to go poof.  Similar to what happened at Marquette.
