You should buy a membership to Inside The Hall. Bozich has everyone over there in Crean's camp. It is truly pathetic. They love mediocrity.

 

Do you realize that Wisconsin spends as much on recruiting in a year as Crean does during two weeks in July? We could not beat Wisconsin if we played them 500 times. Wisconsin could beat us with their managers.

Is my opinion not welcome here?

No...not what I am saying at all. More a commentary on Inside the Hall than anything. You're wrong, but everyone's opinion is welcome here. Part of why this site is so superior to Inside the Hall.

I used to follow ITH closely... But Bozich seems to be really far up Tom Crean's behind... I believe that he is doing way more harm to the IU program than good because the casual IU fan turns to him and he spews bad information.. IMO, he's not helping the program move forward in any way shape or form. Other than getting his press pass revoked, what is the reason to still support Crean? (When he tweeted that Tom Crean was NEVER on the hotseat and that the media made it up I lost all respect)

Has anyone answered this? Why does Bozich love Crean so much?

He writes great stuff, but ignores the elephant in the room in every post (Crean).

Doesnt want to bite the hand that feeds him I guess.  I was loyal over there for years but they ban people who dont like Crean or for little or no reason. I just dont care for the fact that at times you should tell it like it is.

You're wrong.

Oh, ITH is superior to BTB?

This just isn't true. Their forum includes a lot of discourse that is anti-Crean. Yes Bozich needs to worry about keeping his press credentials so he has to toe that line. It's the dudes livelihood and you have to respect what he has built at ITH.

It is absolutely true. Me and several other long timers were banned, not warned, banned after the drug suspensions/ Devin accident in the fall when we voiced our displeasure. None of us were over the top or disrespectful in any way.

When discussions are censored because someone clearly steps over the line, and has become brutally, personally, aggressively insulting, it's one thing. When it's censored in order to keep the outside supporters of the site happy, that's another matter entirely. ProFootballTalk.com used to be a decent site, ran by Mike Florio. Florio allowed people to pretty much say anything and get everything off their chest, (you talk about freedom of expression!). Then he sold out to NBC, and everything changed. NBC wouldn't allow things like "The Turd Report", or other less than flattering depictions of the NFL because they themselves are tied to the NFL. Now, you can hardly write anything that's at odds with what Florio and his staff endorse. Doing so will either get you banned or your post deleted. A ton of people have quit going there. From the sound of it, I wouldn't take the time type ITH in my web browser.

I go on ITH for their coverage, which is excellent. On their forum I can tell you right now there is no censorship of opinions on the matter of Coach.

No censorship on ITH? All Bozich does is sensor. If you say anything bad about Crean he deletes your post and all his cronies will tell you nothing is Crean's fault. Bozich actually asked people not to post speculation on Crean's job on his message board.

Good thing that we're better than ITH, so there's really no need to debate it's merits and/or shortcomings :D

It is not even close. Worst $35 I ever spent.

Alright dude think whatever you want.  Just looked and there are multiple posts speculating on Crean's job status and numerous posts with people being critical of coach.

By any chance, do they have cookies and milk over there?

[biteoftheapple 4,115]

There is cookies, but milk not so much.

They did a poll asking whether or not Crean should be the coach next year and 72% replied yes. Either Bozich is fudging the numbers or that is one of the worst cases of group think I have ever seen. ITH is the only place in America you could find a group of IU fans and 72% would want Crean to be the coach next year.
