Nice win...
- Thread starter bsmitty08
- Start date
Just enjoy the ride and stop looking for every thing the team and coach does wrong. In the grand scheme of things its just a game and compared to a lot of other things in life pretty insignificant. I didn't agree with some of the coaching moves today but we still won and that is all that matters.
Yes, exactly...nice win...
...this team can be so frustrating to watch at times, but they are gutting out games, and finding ways to win...they need to continue building off this...

nature of the game....
The three point shot was meant to do just what we saw today. A team can get and lose double-digit leads in a heartbeat. Miss two or three shots in a row and you can be down ten, make 2 or 3 in a row, and you're right back in it.

I'm still no fan of our coach and his roster management. However, the players seem to be hungry have passion to win. There are certainly alot better than I ever thought they would be.

What's that have to do with me saying good win. Like I said this teams coaching at times is fruit rating as is our play. We can be really good and really bad., like I said this was a game IU needed to win.

When you are rooting for TC to be replaced how can you then act like you are happy with an IU win? IU wins mean another season for TC. You like to straddle the fence much? You need to realize every IU fan wants stability and a winning product year in and year out. TC may or may not be that answer but beating on him at every turn proves what?

Its hard to root against the team you love just because you want the coach gone.

I was "bitching" about Crean not calling a time out during the run by Illinois. The other fact I stated was had we lost that game we could have been in big trouble. We may still struggle in the coming 3 or 4 games. What I stated was truth.

Hey,.....
Several on here have had us in big trouble since the season started. Most thought we would struggle in the first 3 or 4 conference games, now those same people are pinning their hopes and predictions on the next 3 or 4 games. It will probably be the next 3 or 4 after that.
Your predictions, like mine, are best kept under wraps until the end of the season, and save ourselves the embarrassment.

There was a lot....
not to like about Coach Knight, however I supported him as our coach, and in spite of his shortcomings. I've been a supporter of all of our IU coaches as long as they're here. When they no longer deserve the support of those who make employee decisions at IU, then there is no reason for me to support that person as a coach at IU. I'll support the people who follow those no longer at the school.
Bottom-line, too many use a measuring stick that includes only wins and losses. Although wins and losses are terribly important, I think it's the stronger people who look beyond them in justifying overall coaching performance. Win and loss records were once enough to justify keeping an imperfect man on the job, but it also made people, outside of IU, to look upon the school as willing to put up with most anything in the name of winning.
And then, we hire a cheater who only cemented some of those outside thoughts about IU's bent on winning and losing. We not only had to start over in our basketball program, we needed to redefine what it was all about, especially outside winning and losing. Some point out the lack of responsible thinking of a few of our players, in the recent past, as a knock on the coach, although he had no physical part in any of it. And yet, some of the same people saw little wrong with a coach, directly involved in his own lack of responsible thinking, many times over. Anyone think wins and losses had/have anything to do with such thinking?
