Tom Crean to Alabama Rumor Thread

You gotta swing to make contact.

Gonna strikeout if they swing at a bad pitch.

Doing nothing, you stfike out too

Might walk, might get hit by a pitch, might see a wild pitch or a passed ball that advance a runner, all of which help your cause until the home run hitter comes to the plate.

Crean is a sacrifice bunt. Sampson was a double that got thrown out leading too far.

Gotta love this guy....you might fail, so why even try?

After so many failures, the next better be a no brainer not I hope he gets a hit here.

No matter what you keep trying. So your saying we fire crean, hire coach xyz,he isn't awesome then we hide in a hole and give up??

Get up, get up and try again.

Hide in a hole?? No! You make a smart educated hire. Not another dumba** mistake!

Relax guys.

There's about 10 coaches I'd take over crean who are relatively possible

[Scooter D 928]

Relax guys.

The voice of reason.

[OliviaPope40 6,483]

Since when did we compare this to baseball?

[Beowulf50 816]

Relax guys.

I'm so relaxed I'm going to bed. Goodnight.

[BenzOrBeamer 351]

Tom crean is a safety, I'd take a field goal over him, even a 35 yard seam pass

Such a cop out attitude.

 

There is no try. You get a known quantity at this level or you don't.  If you don't have a legitimate, confirmed bad ass coach coming, I don't agree with pissing around with another one like we already have, just for the sake of change. That's a cubs mentality.

Crean for 1 or 2 more years before a stud comes along is 10,000 times better than a new 7 year contract with some same old same old.

You might take them, but it doesn't mean Indiana becomes what you want it to be, with them coaching.

Hires and recruits have always been called home runs etc, never a touchdown or a basket.

 

Failures have always been called strikeouts, not turnovers, although occasionally they are fumbles.

 

And we all know what getting to 2nd base is, but not crossing midfield or making it to the top of the key.

 

However, I'm sure, like Pitino, Jaybob gets a lot of 10 second violations.

I don't think you understand the dynamics in play, and I'm not typing them out on my phone. Were just going to have to agree to disagree

[FKfootball 1,046]

Unfortunately it appears that Crean isn't going anywhere.

Broken record (That's constantly wrong).

Just heard on the radio, "rumors on TC to Alabama, BD to Indiana are exactly that. Sources close to all involved say there's no truth to these rumors "-network Indiana sports.
