IU vs. MSU Postgame

[brandct 610]

Dakich said what many have been saying all year, the only sense of urgency and defensive pressure come in the last minute of a game. If we pressed and played that hard on D all game, we wouldn't have had this huge slide at the end of the year. The only thing that will save Crean is if Bryant or Thon decide they want to come here.

Even if both do that is not enough reason for me to justify keeping Crean. All that does is give him a chance for another underachiving season that is just good enough to buy him a couple more years.

What I wouldn't give to hear Fisch speaking off-the-record just once about Crean.

No Im with you on that one. Im tired of not seeing any adjustments during or between games!

He would sound like us.

Blessing in disguise

 

you may be on to something

[Hovadipo 54,064]

So that sucked.

[bnkepner 1,509]

I think if you look at this last stretch where we have lost 8 of 12 really shows what Crean is all about. If I would've have seen some sort of adjustment from game to game then I would be on his side, but I feel like all 8 losses we have lost the games in the exact same way with no adjustment from game to game. 
-Switching in between a zone and man to man (I think it confuses us more than the other team)
-No movement on offense

-Players that have no purpose of being in the game getting playing time
-Lack of effort from players on defense and on offense

-The disappearance of anyone not named Yogi (or Nick over the last few games).

I think the players need to be held accountable, but coach Crean has not tried to change one thing over this stretch and for that i have NO hope whatsoever that he can even recognize and execute any sort of adjustment. I honestly don't care if it costs us some recruits, he needs to go.

I'm glad they got at least this much

[LazOffTheBench 3,638]

I'm glad the crowd did that. Shows class.

Im tired of Dakich. He's grown on me a little bit more lately but if you listen to him call and IU vs. calling any other two teams, you can hear the difference. There is something, a little bitterness there, when he calls IUs games

Lunardi still with us as last 4 in.  We flip flopped with BYU, so dropped one more spot.  Playing with fire.

Well you would be surprised then.

I don't see/hear bitterness from DD at all. He sounds like a proud Hoosier who is tired of seeing a crap product.

[mdn82 25,501]

It's time.

[shortspacequickness 1,034]

So how long does the new coach get? 3 years or do you think 4? Serious question

No I understand that, but it takes a lot to actually get any praise from him. Its hard for me to explain typing it out but there are a lot of calls that should've gone Indiana's way and he seems to side with the opposition most of the time. He just seems to call Indiana's players out on a more personal level than on other teams. Not a big deal but its there if you listen haha

I don't see any way we're in unless we have a strong BTT showing

[weaverswonders6 388]

Not according to Kravitz....HA

 

@bkravitz The clock now begins ticking on Tom Crean. No other way to look at it. Tournament or bust next year. Column on http://wthr.com later.

Think it's the former IU player coming out in him. He can say he doesn't care anymore but he does
