Good Recruiter, good defensive coach,

Why do some of you get so upset over your team losing in a game, is it just your self worth is so tied up on your team winning a game. We all want to win and be the best but some of you guys just go way over board over an outcome of a game.

If it makes zero difference, win or lose, why even go to the games, show any emotion over it or post on a board?

Shit....Scott. You may have stumbled on to something! I didn’t realize none of it mattered at all? Let’s do the right thing here then and disband all athletic competition at IU, turn Assembly Hall into a giant indoor kid’s play area for a good cause to benefit Monroe County youth and we’ll all be better off for it!

Never said disbanned anything but to get so upset and call for firings after every loss doesn't make since either.
 
At least somebody shows some fit of anger when it comes to the play of our team. I guess I’ll carry that torch. Archie sure doesn’t. No accoutibility. Not a single moment where the guy gets on anybody. Just to make a statement when Mr. Bluechip throws another of his lazy passes and decides not to get back on defense.....I send in Johnny or Vijay and let them play extended minutes.

We’re going to lose regardless. Give somebody else a chance to lose and see if they at least do it with effort?

I don’t like to lose but I understand it because I played the game against talented opponents. What I have a problem with is a lack of desire and stupid or selfish play. The coach is ultimately responsible for the results through teaching, allowing or recruiting. Many of our losses this year could have been avoided if we played smart, moved the ball around to find higher % shots or had some type of organized offense. If the boys aren’t doing what the coach wants use the pine. But I suspect they are trying to run the offensive philosophy being taught.

Scott is the worst fan imaginable. Backs up mediocrity due to lousy coaching and tells everyone how to be an IU "fan". He doesn't ever take into consideration of how bad any hire may or may not be until it is way too late. He preaches patience while proclaiming IU should finish in the top 4 in the B1G, but no matter the results, "we are on the right path". Nobody is allowed to question anything, especially the coach or Glass. He would rather sacrifice 4 or 5 seasons to get maybe one decent one in return. Just terrible!

From what I've heard on here, it sounds like it. I wasn't around here in those days. I really wish I had been. Nobody is going to care, but I thought Crean should've been canned after year 3 like @fpeaugh says. There's just not enough "smarts" in the IU powers-that-be to do anything worthy to ever make much difference. Myles Brand set a precedence that killed off IU major athletics. Will IU ever recover? A complete overhaul from Glass on up needs to take place as a first step.
 
The donors control this. Crean was in the Sweet 16 twice after that joke roster he had. The trustees also control this. Does this team look like it's going to win an NCAA tournament game next year? Coaches need to learn how to coach potential lottery picks? He obviously cannot manage the personalities as well as coach offense.
