Tom crean

[Hodge 1]

I don't understand why crean goes out and recruit 7 footer and not put the on the court.April can't get any better on the bench a real coach would play him a few minutes every game you don't seven footer on the bench when you r as small a we r. Iu fans have u seen Luke Fisher play at Marquette university one best post player in the country. I'm 49 years been Hoosier all my life I have never seen a coach as bad as cream put ur two big guy in crean what is it going to hurt you can't win big game with 5 guards on floor

What's it going to hurt to have slow big guys without experience playing? Really?

And they'll improve in practice. Just like every other team does with players.

Luke Fischer has showed that he is human too at Marquette. He had a whopping 6 points and 6 rebounds in 26 minutes against North Dakota U … If players aren't playing, there is a reason

Another example of how many have given up on the season.  I can find a lot of fault in the Coach, but not playing guys who are not ready is not one of them.  If there were a 20 point differential, and he put him for the closing minute, that is one thing.  Putting him in a close game, where his inexperience will almost certainly doom the team to failure is something else entirely.

Then why was crean playing Hanner against Syracuse two years ago? Why was crean playing Jeremy at center and point guard last year?

It's not that crean doesn't play guys who aren't ready, it's that crean doesn't seem to identify who is ready and who isn't. Luke clearly should have gotten more pt and emphasis from crean. Holt has shown more than jeremy or Hanner ever showed their freshman years.

Luke didn't see the floor much here either. Granted he got hurt also. I still imagine starting him an Noah out the gate last year and how that may have impacted his future decision. The high low option would have been a thing a beauty and along Yogi, Will and Troy would havebeen a great lineup. I guess Crean thought he could bring him along slowly never knowing how bad a time he was having on campus with Troy. They never should have roomed together in the first place.

Why did Crean even play April against Louisville if Crean doesn't think April is capable of playing against G-Town??

There are more questions about Crean than answers. Hes running out of time to figure that out.

His clock ran out 2 years ago as far as I'm concerned. The complete collapse with Cody's #1 ranked team showed me he can't win big with 2 lottery players so there's no way he can with anything less. He has had enough talented teams to have been to a final four at least, and last year's debacle showed he can't get us regularly to the tournament. Glass obviously loves him so they both need to go. Start fresh with a new AD first then let him go get his man for IU's flagship program. I have no confidence Glass can get it done.

didnt he get in against Louisville in the first half lol

[southernindianahoosier 422]

Personally I find it hard to believe that Fred Glass likes Tom Crean as much as people say he does.

If we don't make the tournament, I think Fred will be very frustrated.

Im not a Glass fan either. He spends more time marketing than actually winning.

I didn't think he got in until the game was already decided, but I will admit I could be wrong.   

Even with that that doesn't make Crean wrong for not playing Priller.

He's an attorney so his running an athletic program and hiring great coaches is limited at best. Just look at the ridiculous contract he signed off on with Crean. This for a coach that didn't even get us to a final four. That contract and what it will cost the university is enough for me to say bye. And I don't mean buy as in buyout.

Whats the feeling that McRobbie may have in accordance to that? Glass really messed up with that extension.

he was talking about april

[jmsgws 2,181]

Sorry I guess my brain can only think about one project player at a time.  :)

McRobbie probably had to sign off as well although I'm not sure. I think our big boosters will have a hand in this also. If they're not happy then their wallets can speak to the buyout or not speak which would be worse imo.

[FKfootball 1,046]

Have u ever heard of someone actually paying a buyout that large?
