http://www.hoosiersportsnation.com/index.php?/topic/8833-why-did-coach-crean/

Some highlights:

It's a real stretch to call him "coach" Crean.


Why did Crean start subbing out all the guys who got us on a run to start the second half? Why did he continuously go back to Yogi when the kid was doing nothing but turning the ball over?

All of you Crean defenders are nuts. You do realize it is possible to criticize the guy without wanting him to be fired? Crean is not the sole reason we lost tonight but he is the head coach and he is certainly part of the reason we lost. Deal with it.

Don't give the same ole "Did Crean commit x amount of turnovers? Did Crean miss free throws?" NO Boiler Up he didn't. We were not prepared for the zone. We were lost from the very first offensive possession. That is 100% on the coaching staff and yes that means Tom Crean.


Why are our guys inbounding the ball right into the corner to be trapped?  Seriously?  I know the players make those passes, but on more than one occasion they did this tonight when Yogi was standing wide open in the back court.  How does this happen as a coach?  How do your players literally pass the ball inbound straight into a trap?  How do you let that happen?

He's a Jesus freak because it helps recruiting in Indiana. Zeller, for instance, is deeply religious. There is NOTHING that isn't totally phony about the guy. Everything is planned out.

Just read the postgame presser from Crean. http://www.insidethehall.com/2013/03/29/transcript-indiana-postgame-press-conference/#more-29790

The main difference from Buzz and Tom?

After a loss, Buzz isn't afraid to say he is to blame/accept responsibility.

Crean? He didn't do that (i.e., "I should have prepared them better for the zone") and one thread stands out: "it wasn't meant to be."
That statement just allows for the denial of personal responsibility over a situation.

"We prepared for it, there is no doubt about it, but it just wasn't meant to be with that."

"At times when we did power through it, we didn't get the bucket, it didn't go in for us at times obviously and it just wasn't meant to be."

Sure some will enjoy this piece:

QuoteOne of the players coming in next year is Brewster shooting guard Ron Patterson, who  said he's rooting hard for Syracuse Thursday night because he initially committed to Indiana and felt they did not treat him fairly during the recruiting process.

"I want Syracuse to beat them real bad," Patterson told SNY.tv. "[Indiana] was my old team and I really don't like them so much. Not the players, just Indiana, period."

A former Broad Ripple Creek (IN) High School star, Patterson reportedly failed to meet academic requirements in summer school and was then denied admission to Indiana. He then opted to spend the year at Brewster instead of transferring. He ultimately committed to Syracuse in November.

Asked why he felt the way he does about Indiana, Patterson said, "Just the way they did me. Like I was screwed over. They said it was academics, but I don't think it was. I think there was more to it."

Patterson said and McCullough will watch the game in the dorm room, and root hard for the Syracuse zone to foil Indiana's shooters, Christian Watford and Jordan Hulls, as well as Cody Zeller and Victor Oladipo.

"I think Syracuse wins just by the zone," Patterson said.

I'm enjoying MU's victory and playing golf Saturday (early) and Sunday in beautiful Vegas 80s weather.  My wife is making Easter dinner for our MU/Packer friends (all Cheeseheads) and hopefully when we say grace before dinner we are giving thanks for MU's final four appearance!

Love it.  Happy Easter.  I'll be heading to the river for the next 4 days to enjoy the sunshine, jet skiing, etc.  Hope to also give thanks for that same appearance.  If we don't make it, been a great season and a great run.

No. From that point, who would be the first to get to the Final Four. Nice try...

That's not what the poster said...now was it.

Touching swing and a miss for Richard Dodd's recovery from alcoholism/suicide attempts

http://host.madison.com/news/local/doug_moe/doug-moe-dodd-s-one-day-is-here-each-and/article_987037a0-6275-11e1-932c-0019bb2963f4.html

He spent almost three weeks in the mission. One night, Tom Crean, then the basketball coach at nearby Marquette University, brought some players by to help serve meals at the mission.

Dodd tentatively approached Crean. "I used to coach," Dodd said.

It was true. Dodd was an award-winning high school track and cross country coach. More than that, he once was a star himself, a distance runner good enough to compete in the Boston Marathon.

Crean told Dodd one day he would get his life back.

It was a kind thing to say. But within days, using money advanced from a family member, Dodd left the mission and started a drinking binge that lasted 10 days.

This is why I thought this thread was not such a good idea.  Instead of attacking a coach, why can't we accept that some teams are just better on some days?  That's what athletics is all about, otherwise they wouldn't play the games.

Syracuse is great.  They beat a very good coach and very good team, in Indiana.  IU had no answer to the zone.

Sometimes in life, you just get beat by better teams.  We've been blessed at MU to have very good coaches through the years.  Very blessed.  I sincerely hope 5 years later, the nonsense stops.  Yes, I know I'm guilty of it.

Please, let's enjoy Marquette basketball. 

Happy Easter to all of you.  God Bless.  See you down the road.

No thanks - I'll take my sports with rivalries, and I'm fine making fun of someone for their actions. Feel free to avoid those posts if it makes your stomach churn to hear someone having fun pointing out TC's douchebaggery.
