Tommy not doing too well tonight. Down 20 to MSU with 6 minutes to go.
Wonder how long the Tan One will last at I4? Of course, there is a lot of cash owed in his contract. Or has I4 decided that he is the man for the rest of his 10 year deal?
I know that it is very small of me but I actually take pleasure in watching IU lose and even more pleasure when they lose big. I just keep replaying that video in mind of Crean yelling at Tim Miles the other night. I probably should make it a New Year's Resolution to let it go but what fun is the world without a little schadenfreude?
I like to see all ex Marquette coaches do well. Reflects well in us in the long term. I want to see Indiana make the tournament and go as far as possible, unless of course when they face us .

I was reading my youngest Shackleton's Journey (he's 6 and why there is a children's version of this i don't know) but the crew list starts with the following:
The Crew of the Endurance
Sir Ernest Shackleton, Leader
Frank Wild, Second-in-Command
Frank Worsley, Captain
Lionel Greenstreet, First Officer
Tom Crean, Second Officer
Alfred
Cheetham, Third Officer
Only included Alfred because he was next but i thought it was situationally funny on many levels.

I am completely agnostic on Crean and now on Buzz. Appreciate what they did here but pay little to no attention to them now unless someone else brings 'em up on Scoop (which someone always does).
I gotta say that I don't see how an ex-Marquette coach doing well elsewhere reflects well on us at all. I also don't think if they fell on their faces it would reflect poorly on us one iota.

crean - yes. he left for one of the premier jobs in the sport for a ton of money and leeway. can't fault a guy for that.
buzz - not so much. he did great things here but left after an awful year and crapped all over the fans, local media, administration(through his media mouthpiece) and conference on his way out. had he left for Oklahoma or TAMU or something when he had the chance then i'd understand... the way it all went down... not gonna be cheering for VPI anytime soon...
I don't want to see Crean lose because he left marquette, I want to see him lose because he's a pud whack.
Does anyone have a link to the Scoop counterpart site. I wouldn't mind how their rabid fan base is taking this defeat. Don't ever forget the way he treated his team as an after thought when he decided to leave.

I'd like to see him win just enough to stick at I4. There's enough competition on the recruiting trail without a top draw coaching at Indiana.
Did they score a 2 point field goal in the 1st half at least?
It was one game. And Izzo had MSU on a mission after losing their conference season opener at home to Maryland. IU was just in the wrong gym on the wrong night.

I also don't see how them doing poorly when leaving here reflects badly on us. I love it that Kevin O'Neil thought he was too good for Marquette and left for greener pastures thinking he would have even more success and then failed everywhere he went. I think it is great that Crean thought he would be able to have more success at Indiana and so far and most likely in the future has not been able to even duplicate his final four run at Marquette. It shows that maybe there is something special about Marquette and coaching here should not be a stepping stone job.
Also, I know each of the coaches personally except for Buzz and I would never find myself wanting them to do well. Not for the way they treated people and for the way they left Marquette.
those coaches doing poorly when the leave marquette helps in my opinion. leaving didn't go so well for KO, TC, BW...interesting how coaches can be more successful at MU than the likes of TN and IU. plus buzz turned out to be a liar, and crean is a prick. love watching them loose. it's sports, i don't wish them poor health, and they're set for life $$$ wise...just fun to have a guy to root against. it used to be you could watch a team and be a fan of a player for 3-4 years...now most of the good ones go pro in 1-2 years and i think coaches have become the face of the team (at least a little more than in the past). it was so much fun to watch uconn beat UK last year...and the coaches had a ton to do with it.

A good Indiana team means UW will lose two more games per season. I look at it through that lens.
If there was an article in SI or ESPN today talking about Hank / Rick / Al, it would be natural to link it. So I have no issue with people discussing the success of Buzz or the failures TC. They are part of the MU story. In 7 or 8 years when Wojo is coaching at Maryland or UVa, I'm not going to ignore that, I'm going to probably cheer for him and remember January 6th 2015 when we went into Georgetown and kicked their _ _ _.

There are all sorts of people that I don't like in sports. I have personally met successful coaches who I would have no time for on a personal level.
I just generally don't go around telling everyone about it though. What's the point?

Why was it so fun watching UCONN beat UK last year? UCONN was the higher seed and it's not like they have some squeaky clean program. Let's not forget that after multiple suspensions, Calhoun was forced to resign due to a number of NCAA infractions. Not to mention they were just coming off of a postseason ban for their lack of ability to graduate 30%+ of its players. Heck, they make Cal and his program look clean.
People attach "good" and "bad" to certain players/coaches, and then love to watch them win/lose.
WWE is entirely based upon this this phenomena.

Completely agree. If a pattern develops that coaches end up doing poorly after leaving us, even at a blue blood slam dunk program like IU, that's gotta eventually stick out to a great coach here. For example, if Wojo ends up taking us to new heights (which I think he will) and Crean is fired for poor performance by that time while Buzz is stuck in the ACC basement, why would he leave unless it's for Duke or the NBA? I want those examples etched firmly in Wojo's brain.

Agree. I cannot see how a coach leaving Marquette and doing very well or better than he ever did at Marquette helps. Marquette. It just highlights MU as a stepping stone. On the other hand, if they do great at Marquette, and less great elsewhere, it may seem to deliver the message that hey - you can do better at Marquette and its program than you can at (fill in the blank).

Only a total idiot would despise Heath Leger because he played the Joker or admire Michael Keaton because he played Batman.
That's not to say that some people aren't irrational about their feelings about coaches and athletes. Many Chicago Bulls fans hated Dennis Rodman on the Pistons and adored him on the Bulls. Personally, I still couldn't stand him even though I root for the Bulls. Maybe that makes me the odd one.

Yes and no.
People often project attributes onto their favorite or least favorite player to justify their fandom. Essentially, the players are characters in whatever narrative we want to believe in (as you pointed out with Rodman).
Remember when people thought Michael Jordan was a good guy?
How about Kobe? The narrative is that he changed after his incident in Colorado. Do we actually know that? Kobe could still be a huge dirtbag, and I would have no idea.
People thought Brett Favre was St. Brett. They ignored all of his faults... right up until he put on a purple shirt. Then everything went out the window.

He did, I believe it was on a broadcast where he said it was a mistake to leave Marquette. Personally, I've become pretty indifferent on what happens once our coaches leave, but I can definitely see Ellenson Family Reunion's point about not wanting guys to view this as a good place to use as a stepping stone. O'Neill never reached the same heights once he left, Crean had some great recruiting success but hasn't returned to the Final Four and seems to be starting to feel the heat, and Buzz went to a basketball wasteland (though with loose recruiting requirements he should be able to turn it around).
I would very much like to have the same coach for 20+ years (never seen that in my lifetime) because that almost certainly means a lot of success both for the coach and the program. Right now, only 6 high-major coaches have been at the same job for more than 15 years: Jim Boeheim, Mike Krzyzewski, Tom Izzo, Billy Donovan, Rick Barnes, and Kevin Stallings. The first four have all won national titles while Barnes and Stallings have overseen the most successful periods in their programs' histories.
Guys that stick that long are rare, though. You maybe see one or two in a lifetime at any given program. I would be satisfied with just one.

The more coaches who view their time at MU as the most successful years of their career, the better. KO certainly feels that way, and I wouldn't be shocked if TC is starting to feel that way as well.

Why do you say that? Don't you think the IU faithful would be proud? I mean, c'mon, that assistant played a major role in ruining the IU program, and Thomas was just reminding him that THIS, not his former way, is HOW YOU WIN AT INDIANA! He then went on to lose in the Sweet 16, while that assistant coach and his team went on to lose in the National Title game. Karma...

LBJ was a hero in Cleveland. Then he went to Miami and they burned his jersey. Then he comes back and he's a hero again.
Vander Blue committed to UW-Madison and the fans there loved him. Then he changed his mind and he was an idiot.
Brett Favre was a hero in GB until he jerked the team around and "retired" and eventually ended up in MN. Then he was the devil. Then he admitted he handled it poorly and he's a hero again.

At the time, I think IU fans for the most part loved it when Crean berated Jeff Meyer after the Mich game. I'm sure they looked at it like their guy was standing up to a part of the regime that damaged their program.
MU fans, of course, saw it for what it actually was; the petty actions of a small man.

Not sure about a Warthog. The Warthog is tough, dependable, efficient, and game changing. Hawgs will stick around for as long as ground pounders in contact need them. And there has never been an instance of a Warthog deserting good men. Gomers ask for the Hawg by name because the A 10 can adjust on the fly and bring about victory. I hardly think any of that applies to Tanned Tommy.
What I see is neap tide for the Doper Split. The Bronzed Beast of Bloomington will likely have to adjust, adapt, and overcome as regards hair do unless he goes John Travolta or Marv Albert on us.
