CTC and Troy

[The Ola Depot 1,213]

This should say something to all the people calling for Crean's firing. We all can judge and say what we think should happen, but we don't know what really goes on inside this program. We aren't in that locker room or attending the practices.
There are things Crean needs to improve on but I never doubt his ability to connect with the players and teach them. He knows the game and knows what he's doing. Give him time after truly his first bad season (first couple shouldn't count due to what he had to work with).

Let's just hope Troy has the passion and fire some of our previous players had and he works his butt off this offseason and develops a jumper. If he can add that to his game... WATCH OUT.

3 of the last 4 years have been under achievements, this year drastically so.  This isn't a "bad year", a bad year should still be a tourney year, this was a WTF year.  I mean how in the world is it even possible to miss the NIT with 2 McD AAs?

Totally agree.
After watching his first couple games I've said that if he's willing to put the work in, he could possibly be just as good or better than Oladipo. Just look at how much he improved over the course of this season. Depending on how long he stays, he'll be a real asset to our program.

Troy doesn't know if he would have learned more from a different coach. This tweet is pretty meaningless. It's great that he likes his coach. I hope our administration is smart enough not to listen to the players concerning coaching changes. Hopefully, we've learned that lesson.

The point wasn't that he could've learn more with someone else, it's that he learned a lot from CTC.
And I agree that the players shouldn't be in the decision, even if it causes some to leave.

Don't post anything positive, the crew will be sure to shoot it down as fast as possible.

Glad to see Troy backing HIS coach. I'm sure he has learned a lot from him. Something seemed to have clicked at the end if the season with Troy. I hope he stays in the gym and makes huge strides this offseason. We are going to need it next season.

The crew should shoot it down it is meaningless it doesent even say if he learned basketball skills from him. He did improve but never did figure out he had to dribble before taking off for the basket wish crean would have shown him that

I'm glad he backed his coach.  I don't think anyone disagrees that he's a nice guy and a great role model.  But sadly the product on the court needs to improve.  He gets paid $3million a year because this is what you get if you can't produce on the court.

I will say that it appears Troy didn't learn social media skills from Crean. Perhaps the pupil should teach the master a thing or two.

To bad he couldn't teach Vonleh anything, otherwise he would stay another year

[schoosier 3,455]

I'm happy that Troy and Yogi both like their head coach and it says he relates well with them. What if they didn't like their coach very much and won a national championship? My point is regardless of how they feel, if they don't win, then what has been accomplished? I am certain they did not pick Indiana, nor did Indiana pick Crean to sit at home in March. Therein lies what makes IU a bluebood in menbasketball, NCAA CHAMPIONSHIPS. If they feel like tweeting about him; well that's icing on the cake.

[The Ola Depot 1,213]

Jeez, there sure is a lot of negativity on here. Just trying to make people see the big picture and be a little more positive. Even if people were wanting a new coach, why would they want to come to a fan base that wants them gone after a disappointing year. Plus it could draw some players away along with future commits. You never know, it could be exactly the same as Crean's first 3 years and I bet no one wants that.
Just remember, it could be worse, we could be Purdue.

Come on guys... This is getting a little ridiculous.  There are 1,000 other posts to talk about Coach Crean and his strategy, shortfalls etc etc.  This thread is about Troy Williams liking his coach and thanking him for what he's learned.  

 

Your beloved Victor Oladipo had this to say after he was drafted last season...

Ding ding ding. And we have a winner. But, but we can attract a top coach...

Everyone is entitled to their opinions and I am as big a fan as anyone - even wore my cream & crimson today to show my support, but I'm getting tired of hearing all the negativity on here. I will be signing off and reading these boards no more. If I wanted to hear people shoot IU's coaches and players down, I'd be a Purdue fan. No one is hurting more over these losses than the players and coaching staff. They put their heart, soul, blood, sweat and tears into this season, missing countless hours away from their families, etc… We (collectively) should just SHUT UP and support the kids. PERIOD!!!

I played baseball in juco and loved my coach. I then transferred to a d1 in the MVC, where I absolutely despised my coach. Take it from me, having a coach you like makes for a whole lot better college experience. Glad to see Troy has that. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Better yet - I shouldn't have to quit reading these boards - the moderators created boards just for Crean bashing - KEEP the CRAP there. I don't want to read negativity everywhere I look on here! No wonder Crean lashed out on Twitter!!!! Although probably wrong to do - you guys are a pack of wolves!

[indianato 157]

I'm kinda thinking the same. I love the boards for the info and the shop talk of all things (and not, like the beer thread) IU. However, there seems to be so much negativity on here that it isn't fun anymore. I think a break is in order.
