There might be some truth to that.

Unfortunate news for Indiana.  Every time it appears they have finally turned a corner, they appear to walk right into a stop sign.  Regardless of whether not these types of incidents should (or should not be) representative upon the head coach, it is very reflective of the basketball program and the leadership in charge.  For whatever reason, whether it is under Tom Crean or Kelvin Sampson, Indiana players seemingly cannot consistently stay out of trouble and out of the news.

Bottom line, the fact remains: Indiana has made just three Sweet 16's since 2000, and has finished a season in the top-25 during that span just four times.  That's not reflective of a Tom Crean, a Kelvin Sampson or a Mike Davis - that is reflective of the legacy of Bobby Knight (a era of success which suggests is not repeatable).

So, you are saying they are no longer elite.    Their basketball program is average.    And they have had an extended run of poor off court decisions by their players.    Fair enough.

Vodka, the clearest of the clear liquors, you'll never let me down.

[#UnleashSean]

Because it only matters when athletes do the drinking, who cares about the other 87% of students who under age drink.

They're absolutely an elite program.  I4

If ya chose T-Cubed ta be yo coach, I can only assume you were hammered when you did it.

I hear Steve Novak, Dwyane Wade, Travis Diener, Lazar Hayward, DJ, Jerel McNeal, Wes Matthews, etc, etc  are all drunks.

According to IU athletic director Fred Glass, who spoke to reporters on Wednesday morning, McRobbie "read the riot act" to the school's athletic department on Tuesday. Glass said the school had not yet come to decision with regard to discipline for either Holt or Bryant, but he had discussed their situations with head coach Tom Crean.

"What I do not want to see is any more stories of repeated student misbehavior," McRobbie told members of the athletic department, according to meeting notes obtained by the Indy Star. "They embarrass the university, they embarrass all of you in Athletics, and they are a complete distraction from our primary role as an educational institution.

"This misbehavior simply has to stop. I expect all of you to ensure that my message is heard loud and clear by all student athletes."

In the last two years, Indiana's basketball program has had 11 citations, arrests or drug suspensions, according to a report from the Indy Star, which has left many fans and alumni wondering whether it's time for McRobbie to intervene.



Looks like the chit's 'bout ta hit the fan in Bloomin'ton, ai na?

Trying to imagine the squirmy outrage if MU had those stats under Buzz.

I don't know why anyone would ever care about a college student busted for underage drinking. Those of us that weren't busted should consider ourselves lucky

it's not the underage drinking, it's the lack of oversight, discipline and institutional control at the Indiana land grant University.

Nailed that one.

Squirmy stuff going on in Bloomington.

I hate Crean and IU as much as the next guy. Let's just be realistic

[tower912]

I don't actually care about this.   Just enjoying it. 

[Anti-Dentite]

That is a hilarious picture, it sums up everything I think of the tanned one.

Sounds like McRobbie put out a final documented warning on someone's termination agreement out clause.
