Potential fallout from coaching change

[FortWayneHoosier 6,152]

um.....

 

Thread title should be different, but out coach should too. I really am not sure what else there is to say about that, unless a person likes watching Indiana lose.

i get what you are saying boss, all im saying is tonight wouldnt be a good night to start getting nasty on here.......ill just leave it at that my man

Stevens has only coached mid major college basketball and everyone loved him before he went to Boston. Gregg Marshall is in the same mold. He has never finished worse than 3rd in his conference in 16 years of head coaching experience. He is legit. I would fire Crean now and hire Marshall in a heartbeat. (Stevens would be my first call but I wouldn't hold the program hostage in the hopes of landing Stevens down the road.)

I could see the Celtics job similar to the IU job and he has done a great job in Boston.

Stevens would look good on the IU court. Maybe then we should have a real "sold" out game. Gregg reminds me too much of Crean hahah

 

As a poster just mentioned, Bill D would be nice.

Stephens would be great, but I'm not sure how likely it is we'd get him. I'm not sold on Marshall though. My choice would be Mark Few, but I doubt he'd ever leave Gonzaga. I'd be happy with Donovan.

Except Marshall's teams are good fundamentally and defensively.  Oh, and the guy has done nothing but win everywhere he's been albeit in weaker conferences.

I've been very hesitant to call for a change, but I think at this point a change is almost needed.

Essentially no one continues to like and support Tom Crean as Indiana men's basketball coach. Why would anyone want to play in an environment with a palpable sense of disdain from the fans to the coach? Crean has stagnated from results to recruiting, and no one knows if he can rise out of that.

I know people may be hesitant of the unknown and don't want to make a lateral move. But at some point you have to trust the power of the Indiana name as well as money to lure an upgrade at coach, presumably an upper tier coach.

I don't think Crean is necessarily a bad coach. I'd like him down here in my hometown at WKU. But I just don't think he can continue being Indiana's coach. He has given his all to the program but that just doesn't seem to be enough.

If Indiana misses the tournament, then a change definitely needs to be made.

Stephens, Marshall, Hoiberg, Donovan, Bennet would be my first tier. If we cannot get one if them I would still make the change.

I have seen enough of this.

My exact thoughts.

Pitinio left the celts to go back to college so why can't Stevens

[Shakti 2]

I would love Donovan. It just sucks, if creans gone there's no way yogi will stay.

Yogi's mom wants him to graduate from IU!

Extensions don't mean much in the coaching world

If we're not going to get Stevens, then don't bother firing Crean for nothing. I don't need a mid-major coach coaching here. 

 

Stevens was a mid-major coach. John Calipari was a mid-major coach before going to UK. I want someone who knows basketball and can handle big boy shoes. Doesn't matter where he comes from.

first let me tell you, the sky is falling, gent. Second, I would be eager for a trade of coaches with WKU. Ray Harper is successful everywhere he's been.
