Was offered and he turned it down. Bennett at UVA was also offered and he turned it down as well.

Respectfully, that seems very shortsighted from IU’s POV.

If we had Noah next year (which I really doubt), along with some shooters, we might have a chance.

If he leaves, we won’t have much of a presence up front.

Seems like maybe you’re just angry at an 18 year old kid, which is a totally different issue.

let him go i will help him pack his bags

if he wants to go pro thats fine with me we dont need these these one and done players

If you were considering his overall performance, you should mention more than points. You should also consider that he is a 5th year senior that shouldn’t be turning the ball over as much as he does. At least Stan and Troy are freshmen.

Additionally, I don’t care what Bob Knight has to say. He lost my respect when he couldn’t muster up the stones to show his face around the program after everyone involved with his firing was long gone. Indiana is more than Bob Knight. I didn’t go to school at Bob Knight. I don’t have a degree from Bob Knight. I don’t go to watch Bob Knight coach. I didn’t watch his teams to see him stalking the baseline and smashing phones.

No. The sadness occurred when you felt it necessary to speak of that history.
Wouldn’t it have been easier to say Knight would have disciplined rather than alluding to the “choke”?
That was the part that threw me off.

Its sad that you are taking offense to things that happened as part of Bob Knight’s and Indiana’s actual history. Let alone, using this as some indication of the lack of being a real Hoosier fan. Really sad!

Of course cody is not gonna say he made a mistake going pro and he did make a big mistake

Your stats are impressive. But as we all know when you come off the bench cold, it take a few minutes to get into the flow of the game. And when you know you are not the go to guy you do not feel like you should shoot. If you remember earlier in the year he was shooting more and scoring. Cream even commented on this fact. What your stats did not include was the number of dribbles or to’s per min played. After all IU lead ALL major conferences in to’s per game. Crean should quit prancing the side line trying to be a puppeteer and not try to dictate every move. And if he can’t dictate every move verbally he then goes out on the court and pushes the player where he thinks he should go. I think this should have been technical foul. Let’s face it the only player who likes his offense ( or lack thereof ) is Yogi. He gets to dominate the offense and get his points. Please watch some other teams and learn what this game is all about. The” general ” is probably shaking his head at this style of play. The other big 10 coaches are glad they only have to plug the middle and stop Yogi. IU is now a “cup cake”.

No, I don’t find it amazing.

I do find it amazing, if you only care about points made per game, that you aren’t wondering why Stan, Troy, and Jeremy didn’t get more of Evan’s minutes.

you make good points. I do believe he was in a unique position when he came. If he fails to get to the final 8 next yr – with yogi and vonleh – then he probably would be replaced. I believe next yr IU will do extremely well.
the trajectory of this team has been great until we lost in the sweet 16, and injuries played a major role there. This team is young and next yr they should be fine. Agree this was not a great CTC yr by any means.

I’m not spending one second counting anything. Like the way you operate though. All the Crean lovers aren’t posting!!!!

Good grief.

I think in general, I still believe Coach Crean has the program in the best shape its been in since the early 90’s. I know that’s hard to hear after this season (hard to write). But I do think the we lost a ton not just in shooters and talent but experience. But Crean deserves a lot of credit for getting us back in the National Spotlight and getting MCD AA’s to come back to Bloomington year after year. I think back to the Verdell, Rivers years and I could easily blame lack of ability on our problems. This year’r team while young, had great players. I know great might sound a bit strong to some, but Will and Yogi could’ve been All-Big Ten types, Vonleh was often a stud and Robinson filled a great void left by Victor of playing great Defense and getting to the hoop. What really got to me after watching that IL game, was that so many of our turnovers, just like back in November, were just egregious and made you want to pull your hair out. I mean I could drive to any venue in the state this weekend to watch H.S. ball and I doubt I see as many bone head decisions being made. So when I say I’m starting to doubt Crean’s ability to “teach” the game, that is mainly what I’m talking about. Turning it over is one thing when you’re pressing and pushing the ball and playing aggressive. But our turnovers were of the unforced kind. Way too many home run passes getting taken away. Crean has mentioned it so many times in pressers about not giving up “live ball turnovers” that I know he sees it as well. But I don’t get why he was never able to get the kids to realize it.

Did you take a poll? Just curious where you got the numbers… my guess is most supporters are steering clear of the message boards. Just pointing out that there is no need to go digging into stats to try to pile anything on. Turnovers are quite obviously an issue with this team.

Choke marks? Chair throwing?
I see no joke.
Rather a blatant attempt to disparage Knight and IU basketball in general.

I’m with Walton C&C. Even in our sweet 16 seasons we had head scratching conversations about Coach. The trends are over a decade old.

VAHoosier mentioned this stubborn thing and I’m on board with it. It’s awkward. I think he is awkward. The clapping, pacing, bitter interviews. I’m out.

So next year? It’s Vonleh or bust for this guy IMO. This staff knows what just went down this season. They have been exposed to the max. They are getting paid. Time to produce man. Didn’t happen. It’s going to be very interesting.

Ouch.

MY smear campaign? Are you reading these posts? You are officially in the 25% minority as your screen name suggests. Why am I the campaigner here? It’s everywhere.

I don’t need to smear anything. Coach does it just fine himself.

Well said VA. Stubborn def seems to be in play here. Some might say being stubborn is due to……..what? Immaturity? Selfishness? Intelligence? He’s 48 years old.

Different levels of intelligence. I’m thinking not high level when I watch the decisions in game. I could use another word to describe these decisions. But I won’t go there. Didn’t work out for me last time.

Once again nice post.
