This guy has built up some credibility, he's been right a few times.

 

My point is he shouldn't act like he's not speaking for KJ and Calbert by making these claims because to some he has "credibility" on here.  By acting like an insider he is speaking for them.

[quote name="TheStillman" post="61612" timestamp="1398180730"]By acting as an insider on a free message board and posting this kind of thing you speak for KJ just like you speak for Calbert. Now everyone will just say "bball4u said KJ wasn't happy with Crean! He said it and he's in the know!"[/quote]
I never said he wasn't happy, there may have been some philosophical differences.

Unless I'm mistaken, I believe that basketball4u is implying that CTC wants complete intensity and focus during practice and preparation, and that Coach KJ did not fit the model that CTC was looking for. 

 

If so, this is a parting of ways that was bound to happen.

No I get that what I'm saying is that you are speaking for him whether you like it or not given the way people view you on the board.

What I'm a little confused on is this: when we hired KJ, people bashed the hire because he hadn't done anything in college. He was an AAU guy. But now that's the reason we are freaking out about his departure. We are afraid we will lose recruits. We got recruits before him and we will get them after him. No one freaked when Seltzer left and he was an EXCELLENT coach and mentor. Why the uproar now? Just because we had a bad season?

I agree with Stillman in that if basketball4iu implies certain things in a vague manner it could create rampant rumors. I appreciate basketball4iu's insight, but stating something as simple as coaching differences prevents rumors of bad blood between KJ and CTC being created.

Brad Stevens. Brad Stevens. Brad Stevens. That's all I could pull from that mess of a post littered with speculations and spelling errors my 3rd grade niece doesn't dare make. So quickly we all forget the TEAM Crean built that turned us around. Were you under a rock between 2008 and 2011? Did you jump on board and buy a "We're back" shirt?
doing five thugs at once an listening to people like u u talk about how crean turned this program around gets old we what has crean done in 6 years but win one big ten title. An not to say was probably one of the best teams iu ever had has to me was a bigger let down than us not making the tourney this year. What has crean done indiana basketball doesn't care about sweet sixteens we r about banners an competing for at the top along side the best. We r far from tht. Crean is probably one of the worst coaches with x's an o's in the big ten an has no idea when it comes to the bench an subs. An no I'm a cutter grew up in btown an yah I can't spell oh well an not saying much if ur niece can spell better than me. But I have been around here along time have a state ring with Bloomington north in 99' an have coached middle school bob for 12 years an have been part of indiana elite program for awhile an I knw many of these kids on the team an around the state. Ur probably just one of these kids tht came into town went to school an think u really knw what iu basketball really is. But us here born an raised bleed basketball an iu basketball. Crean has not done anything in his career but one final four in what 20 years coaching. 2 sweet sixteens here an a big ten champ thts not IU standards bud
