The main reason Crean will get fired.

[FKfootball 1,046]

His hatred for post play. Instead of recruiting Perea and Jurkin, why not go after the Indy kid, AJ Hammons? When Isaac Haas decommitted from Wake, why did we not get in on him? Crean doesnt want big bodies. He wants slashing big men. And its gonna keep us from winning another Big Ten Championship.

Neat another one of these threads. Just what this site needed

I don't know that I would go as far as to say "hatred for big men"...

I would definitely say that post player development is his Achilles heel though...at least in his tenure at IU...

jurkin had he developed was just going to b a post player not a slashing big guy. I dont see anything wrong with having a post player that is big like noah was and can still move. I get what u r trying to say in this post but i dont think covered it right. I think crean wants post players but his offense doesent utilize them when he has them.

You're on to it. Crean specifically recruits the type of big that can play the post and still be mobile. Cody was the ideal big in his system. Unfortunately, there aren't many Cody Zeller's and we didn't have anyone with the departures of Fishcer and Vonleh. Players like Hammons and Haas wouldn't have fit Crean's system. We'll see how this roster does this year and next, but I don't think his system is necessarily the issue. Coaching and paler execution have not been up to par yet.

Yes, I agree that's one area that he has lacked albeit many. But in the spirit of the season and for this team as a whole, I am willing to put this aside and just root for the team and Crean. Its what you do regardless of how you feel about him, since nothing gonna keep him from coaching this team and us being Indiana fans/ alumni is most important. Heck, I hope we kick Louisville's a$$ up and down the court, win the B1G, and make a deep run in the tourney. Even if it saves Crean's job. I just can't help myself for what's most important as difficult as many of you may believe. Now, we have a long season ahead of us so don't expect miracles lol.

schoosier???

is this a new leaf turned over?

 

damn, I'm impressed...keep up the sunshine pumping...

this is like Thursday night at McDonalds...I'm lovin it...

Some people just need to enjoy what we have and leave all this till later. None of this will get CTC fired before the seasons out, and its really beating a dead horse.

[Lt. John McClaine 541]

Thanks for your amazing insight, man.  Your insight on Crean's post play philosophy is truly unbelievable.  Thanks again.

I agree.

 Especially the night before our biggest game of the season to date.While that opinion may have merit we need to show our support for the team and their coach.

I'm not going to waste my energy on something that wont come to fruition till after the season anyway

.Go Hoosiers beat Cards!!

[FKfootball 1,046]

Look guys. All im saying, is that its embarrassing to see Purdue have two solid 7 footers and we get excited about 6"7 guys that finish a layup. Don't get me wrong, I love Hartman and Holt. Good talents. But im embarrassed that we're a blue blood and a bottom feeder school like Purdue is more equipped in the post.

[HoosierAloha 30,041]

Hammons at IU...?  That would be like a 6'8"+ Cheech and Chong, kinda...  lol

No weed would be safe within a 50 mile radius of Btown.

wait...

so...

you have allowed yourself to get worked up because what Purdue has over us?

 

I'm all for self expression, but it may be time for you to step aside and do some self examination...

[ou812dude 3,326]

yo...which is it?

Say what u want about Crean, but he does a better job of player development than most coaches. It makes me laugh to see UNLV suck because they beat us out for some of our targets. Okonoboh could have been a solid player.
