Timeout!

[yogisballin 2,374]

1:18 left after the 2 crap FTs by Maryland after a terrible lane violation call. IUs NCAA hopes possibly on the line. Still think they are btw. We have obviously struggled offensively the entire 2nd half, also have 4 TOs. Why not use one?
When RoJo (a freshman) with a little over 40 seconds remaining catches the ball on the sideline with no where to go. Why not use one? 3 remaining

After some FTs by both teams MD with a 70-66 lead and 38 secs remaining and 3 TOs in your pocket. And then again with 29 secs left, GAME IS NOT OVER FOLKS. Still 3 TOs left. Refuses to call one and draw up a play, strategy, SOMETHING! Heck, at least act like your drawing one up. Even the TO he accidentally used when Yogi lost the ball with 17 secs to go. Then to draw up that sideline OB play or whatever you call that, was the best he came up with. But hey at least he called it. Only thing I can figure is he gets some type of incentive for taking TOs home with him?? Anyone have a clue here?
I'll have to hand it to Turgeon on this one guys. He went into the locker room and made some adjustments on both ends. Did CTC have a counter? No! He said himself at the half, it's not the adjustments it's the rebounding. All I could was laugh at the guy. Reason so, for an undersized team I thought in the 1st half we rebounded well. Could it have been better, absolutely!

The ONE play that we run for Holt in the 2nd half, showed it would work. At least with the lineup that MD was going with. Why not keep going to that and run a few plays through him in the post? Make your opponent make an adjustment on the fly. Just shown time and time again that this guy is a helluva associate head coach or lead recruiter and that's it!

I'm so passionate about Indiana basketball and tonight I cannot sleep after this loss. It's not the effort that has me sleepless. No these kids fought hard, you could tell they wanted it. So I'll be like the rest of you all come Sunday evening. I'll be nervous about the selection show. I'll support this these kids. But how much more time is Fred going to give this guy? Sorry for rambling guys! I just know that with this undersized team. We are still better than Maryland is!

Crean doesn't use timeouts at the end of games because: 

 

1) That would require him to draw up plays, which requires basketball acumen he doesn't have, and 

 

2) He wants to act like his team is capable of winning games on its own because he coached them to be that way. 

 

 

 

Only explanations I've got. It's truly baffling why he saves so many timeouts game after game.

I don't know what you guys are talking about. Don't you remember that crucial timeout taken when we were down 6 with 2.9 seconds left?

Troy lined up with his foot in the lane.  It was a good call.  Unfortunate but the call was correct.

I was astonished we ran the 1 play for Holt.

[Alford Bailey 12,393]

Ha, I was wondering if anyone else caught Creans halftime interview with Quint. No adjustments.

[Feathery 4,005]

Hey he called a timeout with 2 seconds left, Maryland ball, and the score out of reach. It doesn't get more end of game than that.

But hey that play he drew up to let Maryland run the last 2 seconds out was elite.

Excellent analysis of exactly why a great coach is needed for even the most talented teams. And yes, I saw his halftime interview. At least he admitted his true thoughts that no adjustment was needed. He just happened to be wrong, and as usual we lose close games because of this.

We can beat this dead horse all that we want, but we all know that this is one of Crean's downfalls. We will have to live with it for as long as we have to live with him (unless he starts to read this board and takes some advice).

You owe me a keyboard. Have to clean the coffee out of it now.

I tried so hard to not get on here last night after the game. Knew this board has had enough of beating that dead horse. Just simply couldn't resist. One of those games that ANY normal bball fan could see.
