Hoosiers hire Crean

LOL. What a terrible hire.

Dwayne Wade made this guy.

Completely disagree, this is exactly what indiana needed. A solid character guy who is a rock solid recruiter. Wade was a once in a lifetime player for him but he has already show he can recruit in indiana(dominic james) and he was an assistant in the big ten. The hoosiers are going to suck for 2 or 3 years because of sanctions and the fallout from those. This is exactly the type of person the school needed to hire.

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.

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.

Bump.

Yeah...

11 in a row.
