Moren is probably as close to IU head coach for life as there is. That being said, blue blood wbb programs have to be sniffy around seeing what it would take to get her. It would be a real shame (and a huge mistake) as IU could remain a top tier program for many more years since she's only 52. The crowds they have been getting the past couple of years show that fans will come if given a winner. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But not having the chance to see what could’ve happened is the toughest pill to swallow. I always laugh at the “Purdue is always going to be Purdue which equals little brother to IU.” The little brother/big brother comments are silly IMO. For being “little brother” I think we’re doing just fine tbh. Edited April 13, 2022 by Stlboiler23 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The biggest things they have going for them regarding Pack is that they’re close to home and will give a guard the green light and never switch it. I don’t think Crean is a bad coach at all (certainly better than Archie and imo Woodson). But his tenure at Georgia was a disaster. I think you make a fair point re what he has done without Edwards. That was his furthest tournament run and it was maybe his 5th or 6th most talented roster he’s had. Have to make more consistent deeper runs. Granted we’re right near the top in terms of S16 appearances over the last 5 years but we want more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheWatShot Posted April 13, 2022 Report Share Posted April 13, 2022 I've always assumed the "it's hard to bring transfers into IU" rhetoric started due to overly supportive fans trying to make excuses for the incompetence of previous coaches, and possibly due to having a bunch of a$$wipes in our compliance department. I'm curious to hear more about this. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some players just wont qualify. Ron Patterson comes to mind. He had to take some summer remediation classes to get in the door and then there was some controversy about substandard grades and/or academic fraud of some sort? IU isn't Notre Dame in this respect, but there are definitely schools (SEC) that have lower academic standards and/or more willingness to bend the academic rules. Then there is North Carolina which just makes fake classes for their ball players to get easy A's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobSaccamanno Posted April 13, 2022 Report Share Posted April 13, 2022 The difference between IU and Purdue can be seen with the reaction this year versus how IU reacts. When IU lost to a formidable Syracuse team in the tourney, the fan base was inconsolable. This year, the Purdue loss was even more of a gut punch, and they are doing their usual post hoc rationalizations. You will never see a bracket part for Purdue like it just did. It was a total gift from the basketball Gods. Yet a very veteran team with a top five pick on it totally blew it. If anyone should be compared with Crean it’s Painter. At IU, you pull that, and the torches are out and you’re finished. At Purdue they act like it was just another loss in yet another year. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right out of his mouth. He saw what happened when we faced a Davis late in the game where we were helpless. He’s trying to specifically address that. He’s not hiding the ball. Woodson has flat out said what he’s looking for. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think it’s even debatable that Woodson outcoached Painter, who was sporting significantly more talent, in both games this year. Woodson pushed the right buttons and Painter got tripped up. That should be a concern for Purdue unless the lack of self awareness up there is sky high. This wasn’t Archie who never out coached Painter in four years. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
