BenzOrBeamer Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 WOW! This fanbase is amazing. No one on here has a clue as to what is happening out there. You want to know what is going to happen. Absolutely nothing...status quo! We all want to see this program back in national prominence but we don't make the decisions. Crean is going nowhere and all of this back and forth between the same 20 individuals on this forum with all of this so-called "insider info" isn't even entertaining anymore. What do you folks want Glass to do...hold a news conference stating that he and the University are behind CTC? I believe he has said this numerous times the last couple of months and somehow it is not registering in heads of many. Crean is not going anywhere before next season. Asking our AD to continuously come out and offer support for our coach just makes our fanbase look like morons (see pUKe fans)! When it happens, it will happen. Pure gold! Quote
BenzOrBeamer Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 I agree with many of you about Marshall,an upgrade but fat from #1 Quote
HoosierHoops1 Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 You do realize when UK fans had enough they went from Gillespie to Calipari right? The boosters for them didn't want mediocrity that's why they did what they did. So them looking like morons got them what they wanted... except are fans our wanting marshall..... no thanks Tom White, thebigweave and HoosierTrav 3 Quote

JSHoosier Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 except are fans our wanting marshall..... no thanks I haven't seen many, if any, say Marshall is their first choice. It seems fans are saying they'd be okay with Marshall as a plan C or something along those lines. He'd be a fine choice as a third option IMO, but that's about as high as he should be. Quote
JSHoosier Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Marshall is not my choice, but, I would prefer him over our current coach. I do think he's a pretty considerable improvement over status quo, I'll give him that. Class of '66 Old Fart, Feathery, WayneFleekHoosier and 3 others 6 Quote
Popular Post WayneFleekHoosier Posted March 25, 2015 Popular Post Posted March 25, 2015 4th through 6th for me. Do I think he is better than Crean at knowing about basketball? Absolutely. However, most of us want a homerun hire and are holding onto hope. If we get a Miller or Marshall, it'll be a mixed reaction. I hope we aren't relegated to that route. Crean has coached some really ugly basketball for 2 straight years though. Problems persist. The fanbase is right to be upset and anxious. brandct, Class of '66 Old Fart, IUsafety and 5 others 8 Quote

Will they say mediocrity is unacceptable, that status quo isn't good enough, that IU can and will do better or are they content with being an also ran? Will they awaken the lion and let him remind the jackals who he is, or let him sleep while the jackals eat his food? I hope it's the former, but unfortunately I think it's the latter. If it's the latter we can forget about ever reclaiming our place among college basketball's royalty and it will have nothing to do with what the program is capable of, it'll because the decision makers don't give a crap. mdn82 and Happydaze 2 Quote

They aren't listing him as their first choice, but at the same time, they take a swipe because Alabama is actively after him and we are not. If he's not our first choice why do we care what Alabama does with him while we're waiting on our choices above him? The only other option is to go after him and forget about choices 1,2,3 etc. If we are working the back channels for a home run, great, but if all we're doing is looking for new blood and a minor upgrade, then might as well keep Crean a season until a home run is available IUsafety 1 Quote
NoahW35 Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 If we were to land Thomas Bryant and the core of our team returns, on talent alone we will be pushing 25 wins next season and likely be top 3-4 in the big ten and then Sweet 16/Elite 8. Would Glass fire Crean after that? I don't see it happening unfortunately Happydaze, 8bucks and jonz44 3 Quote

Just take a look at his record of winning then compare it to Creans record of not winning. I can't think of many coaches who wouldn't be upgrades; for starters look at any other coach in the Big. Any would be an upgrade. Quote

He's more than a minor upgrade, all he's done is win and win consistently for 17 years while Crean has never won consistently in 16. I think a coach that has won his conference 9 times in 17 years is a good bit better than a coach that has only managed 2 in 16, but I'm crazy like that. Alford Bailey and Happydaze 2 Quote
PointBlank Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 I remember him. He can be really abrasive, but he's a knowledgeable poster. From my experience he's pretty pleasant in PMs though. He was critical of Crean going back to the early years. Kept talking about Crean's half court offense being stagnant and how we struggle if we can't get out and run, many posters told him to wait until Crean had a roster full of his players and it'd be different, I was in that same camp at the time, but here we are after year 7 and he was right all along. I just read the other board, and Gocolts adds a lot of knowledge to the limited discussions on that board. No disrespect to Coach Knight, GoColts posts like Coach Knight coached at times. He can make things interesting. Quote
Hoosier_roots Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 I think Coach Marshall does a great job of getting his players to play hard no matter how much "talent" he may or may not have. And in my mind that is at least half of playing good basketball. Thats my kind of basketball! Combine that coaching ability with more recruiting power that would come from coaching at a place like IU and I could see him being a very successful coach here. Coach Miller I think has had too limited a career to get behind just yet. That being said, my heart is set on Coach Stevens. Pipe dream or not, that kind of excitement around a program can lead to alot of positive dominos falling and I think he would be the ideal coach and representative of Indiana basketball. moyemayhem, bnkepner and ALASKA HOOSIER 3 Quote

I can only imagine the buzz that would be in the air in this state if Stevens ended up at IU...........sadly I just don't ever see it happening Hoosier_roots 1 Quote
