Disclaimer:  I am in NO WAY advocating that Crews would be a good choice for the next IU coach but the UE basketball program hasn't been the same since he left.  With the exception of Walter McCarty's one win against UK.

And he took advantage of that win by, how can I put this, not doing things a college basketball coach shouldn't be doing with coeds on campus when his wife is in Boston.  They haven't been able to recover from that either while he could've been able to really build off of that.

Today is the day the Miner guy said I was a POS. So love comes in many different ways

He went to Linton. Consider the source.

Never having a Facebook account is the best decision I ever made. Just in the last couple weeks my Mom sent me a screenshot of a fake news story saying Reneau had announced he was transferring mid season. She sent another real looking article saying IU had already hired someone like Chris Holtman. She believes everything she reads on the internet. Its scary when it comes to current events and politics. 

The amount of African user name spam about IU is crazy on FB.

He didn’t say what TIME ZONE he was referencing.

Twilight, if I had to guess.

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.

Yeah. That is the problem with only look at the “record.”  Results matter, butt the real question is what foundation produced those results?  Was it just luck?  Crean’s foundation was crumbling.   Woodson never bothered to build a foundation.  You look at candidates who have success at multiple locations because they can build that foundation — May, Cronin, Pitino.  Archie only had success at one location.

This is spot on.  Foundation of what you do has to be successful.  See Cignetti as he was at different schools.  His process and foundation worked at every stop.  This is what IU basketball needs.

I had a dream we hired Greg Gard.  In my dream, Gard was so happy he cried.  He said I can finally get some great players that won't leave me...lol  

Very weird dream.

I must've missed it. What was the reason he gave for it not happening yesterday? Stevens' pen ran out of ink or something?

Wants to wait until the March 1st Waiver deadline

I would rather have Cronin. Lol

 

 although Gard has done better than I expected and is a pretty solid coach.

Coached at IU 200-2005 so yes 20 years ago. 

She coached for 1805 years? That has to be a record, right? /s

Ha yes, I remember that.

I am really warming up to Cronin.  After looking at his record at Murry, Cincinnati and now UCLA he has proven he can win.  Assuming Brad ****** Stevens is off the table, I could get on board with this pick.  Pearl was high on my list but as I have read and listen, I don't think he is a long-term answer.  I don't want to be back in the coach search in 5 more years.  May is interesting, he does have the connection to IU, but can he win long term.  He is young in his career so to speak, and he only has a two really good season not counting this year at Michigan.   Nate Oats is another one that may fit the same level of winning as Cronin.

Who knows, I just hope we get a proven coach with a proven foundation for winning games.
