Crean Against the World

[CampHoosier 3,697]

From the uncalled for comments and general disrespect Tom had for Fisch and Suhr to his constant "you don't get it" attitude in his post-game pressers, I'm at a loss. Tom, we all get you're the coach and it's not easy to answer questions after an ass kicking, but that's what you get paid millions of dollars to handle. I'm so sick of the post game pressers either deflecting blame to players or completely blowing off questions. If this is his attitude, he knows something everyone in Hoosier Nation does not and it's him against the world. This thread isn't about his in game coaching, but rather his inability to receive critique. Tom, you didn't have a game plan and if you did, explain what the hell you were thinking. Just answer the questions.

good take Camp.

[Stuhoo 80,466]

I expect our coach to be an unqualified, unmistakably cranky-assed bastahd after a piece of crap loss to Purdoo.

 

Anything less would piss me off that much more. Of course I was raised on Bobby Knight post-loss vitrol, which made me feel that I wasn't the only one massively pissed off after a loss.

I used to think CTC "was" ..... Now I'm not so sure he "is"
Hate to feel that way but, IU needs to get MUCH better and it starts with the coach.

Lol people were calling him COY a week ago

Not sure what happen last night.  Don't think can give all the blame to Tom, but there were five guys out there that looked terrible.  Did you seen the number of shots that Purdue made in the paint?  Yes the two guys were big but throw some hustle in it and try to guard them.

You think he didn't have a game plan? You may be right. He was planning to develop Cody too well, planning Hanner's injury. Hell, I bet Crean pushed Devin onto 17th, too.

C'mon guys. Most coaches have this side.

Hey everyone! What exactly did he say to Fisch and Suhr?

Good take, Camp.  My question-- why is he in Jefferson City watching Anunoby and Morgan the night before the biggest game of the year?

[TheWatShot 13,906]

He will never change. 

[Alford Bailey 12,373]

Ficsher seem increasingly annoyed on the radio this year. Dude has called IU games for what 30 some years and been a part of a couple National Championships. I think the guy knows a little about basketball and in no way should he have to take crap from Crean.

Not me

[Alford Bailey 12,373]

Sometimes change is good and good for EVERYBODY involved. My hope is the guy wins COY some other school shows interest, they negotiate the buyout and we part ways. Everybody involved from the fans to the players to the support staff get a fresh breath and a fresh start. Especially Crean and his family. This guy is so uptight and defensive it cant be good for him.

You play with who you have. They beat Maryland without Hanner and Devin. Stop making excuses. Do you want to know how I know he had no plan? Because we kept driving despite being blocked 8 times by one freaking player. They scored 8 out of the 2nd half. Hartman was on Hammons. We made no adjustments to the man to man. We made no defensive adjustments. If you're not concerned watching us get absolutely exposed and dismantled, pass what you are smoking. Bringing up Cody Zeller? This fanbase is losing it.

Painter had us "gamed" for some time I think coupled with 15 former players that came in for the pre-game pep talk a fresh can whip-ass was just waiting to be opened!

Biggest game of the year. Have we sunk so low that Purdue is the biggest game of the year

You weren't paying attention if you didn't see defensive adjustments.

[FKfootball 1,046]

Do you guys wanna know how good a job Crean is doing? Kentucky and every Big Ten fan besides IU fans want him here for a lifetime. Everyone knows that we will never win a Championship or make it to the Final Four with Tom Crean as a head coach. The guy is way in over his head.

[CampHoosier 3,697]

Really? Because they kept driving the lane on the zone consistently. Then when they started hitting from outside we were still collapsing down low. Where exactly did they adjust?

[colonel06 1,913]

It was painfully evident during the first half that Purdue team and coaching staff and anybody and anything to do with it including the Paint Crew)  that a full blown ambush of  great proportions was waiting for the Hoosier team.
