Hoosiers hire Crean

The Hoosiers are going to suck for longer than that with this clown.

Why do you say he is a clown? He is 190-96 at Marquette, 5 NCAA appearances, and 1 final four. Marquette isnt like the best place to play and he is competitive in the Big East. His record is clean and he can recruit pretty well.

IU will lose all 5 starters and prob their 2 recruits. Going to be slim on wins for IU the next three years. Years 4 and 5 will tell how good of a coach he is.

The only problem is, IU has a delusional fan base. They don't wanna hear about sanctions and fallout of recruits and players. They just want wins, and if it take until year 4 to get good again, Creen won't be there to see the fruits of his labor.

Rumor has it in Milwaukee that Crean was forced out of Marquette. Why would he leave Marquette with a bunch of seniors returning and take less $ at IU? He also is going to a program that is a complete mess right now and expects to at least win the big ten and be very competitive in NCAA tournament every year. Crean has also been very vocal that he doesn't like to coach against Izzo and Bo Ryan. I also agree with Coach Pants that Dwayne Wade made him. He has won a total of 1 NCAA games since Wade left. He is not a very good coach and actually has had a lot of talent at Marquette and done nothing with it. Good luck Indiana. Being a WI badger fan I am happy to see Indiana hire an overated coach.

Exactly.

And he also is going to be under intense pressure to beat Kentucky. And with the recruiting class they have coming in, and Gillispie's ability to turn a program around quickly, the chance of that happening in the next 4 years is highly unlikely.

I can't believe they passed on Kevin Mackey.

I can't believe they passed on wise guy HossenDossen.

Gillispie got a good recruiting class coming in? Good knowledge right there....

Is that sarcasm?

They got a commitment from DeAndre Liggins. Chicago kid.

Also got Darius Miller from Mason County. That's where Chris Lofton played ball and won a state championship. Miller cut down the nets this year.

Agreed. I think it's a great hire. To have the success this guys had in the Big East (the worlds best conference) show me that he can coach.

He needs at least 2-3 more years to show what can be done at IU. IU was in the dumps when he took over, I expect a competative .500 team in the Big 10 next year and then steady improvement over the following two years. IU nation will be all over his a** if that doesn't happen.

Hi guys. A few of you still bought yourself some time but if you want to admit you're wrong now I'm ok with it.

You'd really be crazy to support this guy. Choice is yours.

[rpncaine]

Agree, next year will be make or break. If they don't show big time improvement the dogs will be out. Top 3 or 4 in the Big10 is a must.

Coach,

Looks like we were right. I am still enjoying having him coach in the Big ten since they are absolutely zero chance of beating WI with that idiot as a coach.
