Someone on here was looking for a crazy rumor earlier. I’ve got a doozy. I just got a call from my 80 year old mom. She said “I guess you saw that IU named their new coach”. Of course I said no, who? She replied “Shaq”. I started laughing. She was convinced it was true. This is a prime example of why some people shouldn’t have access to Facebook.

Facebook is so unhinged. I saw something on my feed that said Netflix was making a documentary about Indiana PF Malik Reneau.  It had a lot of likes.

Free slices of pizza for any win at AH.  Now we're talking.  A reason to go to the games.  Except for the win part.

Of the potentially infinite number of parallel universes that could theoretically exist, in not 1 of them was Crean fired after 2011, Zeller or no Zeller. 

In mine he would have been. A few of us called it at the time. 
 

I think some misremember how much that Zeller commitment floated Crean through that third year. The Sheehey/VO class seemed a little light and his big class of Watford, Hulls, Elston, and Creek were sophs that paired with Jones eeked out a whole 12 wins.  The Zeller commit and Creek injury bought a ton of good will.  
 

You’re probably right in your assessment.  But a school like Kentucky might have done it. That Indiana never would have doesn’t speak to the impossibility of such a move as it does our mild disposition towards actually winning.

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

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

Rando coach suggestion of the day.

Walking back the "won't be another IU guy."

So, the announcement could be in Japan on Monday and aired in US on Sunday.  Are the Celtics playing anywhere in Asia soon?

What kind of dentist is open on a Sunday? That's ridiculous. 

I think that was the point, as you were probably aware, :)

Also, Bryan Cranston as Dr. Tim Whalley was the best tv dentist ever.

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.

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.

I love this but he’s changed the date a few times now hahaha, I’m guessing there will be a “hiccup” when it doesn’t happen after the count down 

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

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.

He went to Linton. Consider the source.

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

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.
