dbmhoosier Posted February 19, 2022 Report Share Posted February 19, 2022 Color me shocked. The problem with IU basketball for the past 21 years is not the program is cursed or we have a crazy fan base or anything. The problem is that we consistently hire abysmal coaches. It's why Davis and Crean flopped after they left. It's why Sampson won big while he was here and won big before and after he was here. It's not complicated. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to fire him for performance go ahead but trying to find dirt and fire for cause? Petty stuff. I wish Crean well. Thought Georgia was perfect spot for him but it appears on the surface the university just doesn't care about anything non football related. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had some bad breaks on pitching injuries last year and had an excellent roster in 2020 that got short-changed due to the pandemic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Rico said, Davis did not 'flop'. Does he have a 'ceiling' as a coach? Yes. But, he did a darn good job at Texas Southern. And, for the uninitiated, don't look at the overall record. They would consistently start the season with their first 12-13 games on the road against quality competition. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can disagree on our definition of flop but he couldn't hack it at UAB and is winning at like 38% at Detroit Mercy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Officer Obie Posted February 19, 2022 Report Share Posted February 19, 2022 The problem with IU basketball is that since 1970 we haven't hired a nasty tempered SOB as head coach. We just keep hiring a bunch of nice guys - for the most part. I'm not going to discuss Sampson, who blew the program apart. I love Bob Knight and always will. I very much respect Mike Davis, Tom Crean, and even Archie, and wish them nothing but the best. I just hope Woody can get the program back on track. Maybe one day IU will be as good as Rutgers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He probably had the Texas Southern job for life. I guess he was looking for an opportunity for Antoine to play against slightly better competition. But, it was a mistake to leave Texas Southern in my opinion. - Edited February 19, 2022 by 5fouls 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Officer Obie Posted February 19, 2022 Report Share Posted February 19, 2022 (edited) Mike Davis was put into an impossible situation after Knight was fired. I will always admire him for taking on the task. I'm serious about that. Sampson was a cheater who should never have stepped a foot on the Assembly Hall floor. Crean did his best to clean up the mess Sampson left behind before he hit his ceiling. B1G basketball is as fun to watch in a long time, it's really good. I just wish IU was playing better.

Popular Post 5fouls Posted February 19, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 19, 2022 (edited) Any IU fan that resents or has animosity towards Tom Crean for what he did at IU is off base. He stepped up to the challenge when others shied away. He brought us some great moments. He didn't embarrass the program off the court. The only thing he didn't do was win enough. In the end, he was not the long term answer, but he was a very good short term option. Edited February 19, 2022 by 5fouls 20 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobSaccamanno Posted February 19, 2022 Report Share Posted February 19, 2022 Sheesh, I didn't realize Georgia's record was so bad. I thought Crean would have been more competitive there. He must just not be getting any in-state talent. They have some. This internal fight thing and not reporting it...sounds like a pretense to get rid of a coach who isn't winning. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
