Iowa/IU Postgame Radio Show 3/3/15

If anyone here is listening would love to know what Crean's comments (excuses) on this game are. If this should be folded in with the general post game thread, apologies, but its hard to flip through all the comments for these tid-bits.

We couldn't deal with their size.  The players didn't do what they needed to. Recognition wasn't good, yada yada yada.

What radio station is it on?

[Ryno6284 2,560]

Trying to drive when it wasn't there.  Need to take the jump shot.

[Ryno6284 2,560]

Crean just said he wasn't disappointed, WTF?!

Does he ever take responsibility

Does he ever take responsibility

He took some responsibility for last season eventually.  It took him like 4 months to do it, but he eventually did.

Fisch doesn't get paid enough to deal with the fallout of Crean's ineptitude and mood swings.

Is the interview tense?

Haven't heard tonight's(if it happened).

I remember reading after one of the road no-shows that he got pissy about waiting 3 minutes to start the post-game interview and was upset about some of Suhr's commentary.

I couldn't tell what Crean was trying to get at when he mentioned the FT disparity.  Something to the effect of "we need to do more to help get them (the players) to the line".  Was he suggesting he and the staff needed to be more vocal with the refs or teach the players how to get fouled?

Wait, I thought they were supposed to drive and not settle for the jumper......

After seeing his NW post game presser, this one has to be a classic. And no I can't ever remember him taking blame for any of his program's failures on or off the court. Great coaches always take the blame when the product on the floor sucks; and not take the glory when they win.

Really disgusted that he ripped on y

ogi and Troy the way he did. If is wasn't for the both of them, some of the games wouldn't have even been games this year. Yes they make mistakes, especially when they are our backbone but for him to pick them out of the bunch was irritating....very irritating to me since the decision making by our players that he was talking about was going on all game, so where were the in game coaching adjustments coach. I guess that once again proves our point of crean not taking blame.

Very weak that he sent that many players out there. It was a clear blame them not me thing.

I think Yogi is in a league of his own still. Troy has a LOOOOONNNG way to go. He has a good game or two then has a game like tonight when he continuously makes stupid mistakes at costly times

Agreed that Troy has a long way to go, but there is no doubt that he will be a next level player with some help in the jump shot and decision making departments....as far as Yogi....stud!

Look at our record when Troy has a good game vs. bad game.  He has so much potential but it is extremely frustrating to watch him make the same mistakes over and over again.  Tonight it was him getting into the paint and throwing it in the direction of the basket.  As far as their post game presser it seemed as if they were almost mocking Crean's post game pressers.  I haven't watched many of their pressers this season but I found it odd they started off with the "we'll have to watch the film."  They continued that theme throughout.
