Crean is 4-23 in the SEC thus far....
- Thread starter jimmygoiu
- Start date
They're not playing fast enough or charting enough "deflections".
...they blew a 22 point lead vs Fl last night, and a 20 pt lead over the weekend...
How can you make such a statement without checking the film?
Georgia's fans are having the same discussion we are now and had when Crean was here. Kind of eerie how similar parts of the current discussions are mirroring each other.

how does that compare to 4-23, you dik.
I thought a reason for our failure was we were playing with Crean players? Why isnt his reason is he’s playing w a previous coach’s players?
Well Georgia basketball has exactly 2 conference titles in its history and advanced past the round of 64 in the NCAAT 4 times... Ever.
So slightly different expectations
But I bet those relative expectations included more than 4 conference wins halfway into his second year. Jeeeebus. But let’s try to twist everything in a douchey way.
a mere 4 conference wins fewer than The Great Chris Holtmann and didn’t inherit the Wessons. Lol.
Douche. Bag.
Crean is and always will be a snake oil salesman, so glad he's gone, but I fear we didn't make the right choice and Archie doesn't have the experience to compete at this level in terms of recruiting. Could he grow into the job, maybe? But that's really MD, Crean 2.0, no new AD will hitch their wagon to that hope. He either turns it around and has success this year and more next, or he's gone, and quite honestly he should be if this is all we can expect for what we pay
So we’re reduced to comparing IU basketball to Georgia basketball now?
“Hey, at least we’re doing better than the worst basketball program in the SEC!”
Archie is 1-5 vs Holtmann. Holtmann is 2-0 going to NCAA tournaments and won a game in the tournament each year. Archie hasn’t even sniffed it.
Take the initiative to educate yourself kid.
He’s at Georgia.
Crean’s last 3 years at IU (which got him fired) were FAR better than Archie’s last 3 years. Not even close.
Crean was a complete clown (despite his cult following on this board from 2008-2016) but he was better than Archie.
you mean the guy who is 2-4 against Pat Chambers, inherited the Wessons, and is only 4 wins ahead of Archie? okaaaay
anyway, what incredibly small sample sizes to use to condemn a coach. i'm guessing you think Archie owns Izzo at 3-2? duuuuuuumb
Take the initiative and stop being a douche.
Not enough leadership. I'm not sure, though, I'll have to watch the tape.
Not that it means much but coaching sure is a hell of a gig. He gets to the mountain top at IU. Fired. Goes to a non bball school but still a P5 school. Five or so years of sh*tty results there while raking in over $15mil in this span. If and when fired he'll be an NBA assistant or like Alford go to a mid-major and make more bank
Crean isn’t the only one.
Why does it have to be a “can’t miss guy”? We currently have a “can’t win guy”. I’d say pretty much anyone would be an upgrade.
You’ll just say they’d never come. I mean people told me at this time last year that Tony Bennett wouldn’t be an upgrade.
Archie is a problem but the administration is a bigger problem. If and when a change is made it won’t matter if it’s still the same stooges calling the shots. They’ll just hire another beta male who they think will be decent but never elite which they don’t want. Pearl and Marshall are the two guys I would call that I’m confident we would land. You obviously call guys like Donovan and Beard first and offer them a blank check.
Hopefully he means that they said he would never come here. Not that he wouldn’t be a massive upgrade from Crean.
How would you know? Did he inherit a well put together roster with a great recruiting class? Could it be freshmen and Sophomores tend to be inconsistent and 2 recruiting classes isn't enough time to turn around a program? What do the teams at the top of the conference have in common? Upperclassmen leadership (mostly PG's). Our seniors are a never going to be the same due to injury DeRon (4*) and DeVonte (low 4* or high 3?). Our Jr's are a solid grad transfer, an athletic freak with little bball IQ (3*), and a combo guard who plays hard but was a 3* for good reason. Do you think that is adequate upperclassmen leadership for a coach to depend on? Then, why the **** would you expect anything but an inconsistent team? AT least give a coach a chance to put together a roster....let alone a program.... Our team is still EXCEEDING preseason expectations despite being very much youth lead in the B10. The only questionable losses, as far as tourney goes, are Arkansas and Wisconsin. Why not have a little bit of patience?
