Does Crean have any supporters left?

Can't win em all. Buck up and get on the Crean train.

I was.....and then jumped off after getting beat at home by Penn State Feb 12, 2014. After watching that game live.....I made the switch.

If you think this year has been a disappointment so far, wait till next year after Bryant, OG, and JBJ leave.

This makes no sense. The rest of the conference loves him for winning the conference?

Ask the rest of the conference if it makes sense. I bet most IU fans on here think it makes sense.

Here are Crean's eight seasons:

2008-09 / 6-25 / 11th B1G / Missed Tourney
2009-10 / 10-21 / 9th B1G / Missed Tourney
2010-11 / 12-20 / 11th B1G / Missed Tourney
2011-12 / 27-9 / 5th B1G / Sweet 16
2012-13 / 29-7 / 1st B1G / Sweet 16
2013-14 / 17-15 / 8th B1G / Missed Tourney
2014-15 / 20-14 / 7th B1G / Second Rnd
2015-16 / 27-8 / 1st B1G / Sweet 16

If it was just about the W's and L's then I think he deserves this season without criticism, and maybe next barring a desaster. That's why I am suggesting it's more about belief in him and his philosophy.

That's a little misleading because each time we made the Sweet 16, we got destroyed.

We might actually play better defense with JBJ and Bryant gone....

Does the rest of the conference post here? What is his username?

I'll get right on that....

Agree but there is something wrong with a coach's system when a certain style can beat you even when you have superior talent. Crean is 2-16 against Wisconsin and while he has not always had better talent (I believe this year is a toss up) please remember Victor and Cody and the boys were beat in Bloomington and Indianapolis despite being from a talent prospective superior. Even through he has fared better against Butler IU gets "superior" recruits" and yet Butler wins more than they should.

Thank you he cant beat teams that play defense because his strategy is run past them and if you cant then he dont know what to do because he is easily confused. He even got lost in the stadium in Indy. How many games has he played Indy? He needs to go back to Michigan State where he belongs.

Not likely we have OG and he is the most gifted defender in the world and a 7"6 wingspan but his defense has taken a hit since Crean started on him. And dont know why Bryant fronts guys so much. If he was taught better he would make guys shoot over him but Crean has no idea and thinks its ok.

anyone still on board with Crean as the IU coach?

I hope you're not a defense attorney. Or a lawyer period. Or a business man. Because there's very little about this that suggest Crean should be the coach at---get this---Gonzaga. Much less Indiana. I mean, really? And hell, I'm excusing 2008-09 and 2009-10; 2010-11 was a huuuuuuge disappointment. I felt he was a bad hire from Day 1. 2010-11 only confirmed that. Sorry, but that^^^^^^^^ isn't the resume of a coach who should be leading Indiana basketball.

He has to be losing them at a very fast pace. Possibly faster than he likes for his teams to play.
