Crean improved IU a basketball school. Maybe there is more difficulty to be great at a football school. I was always impressed with Thad Matta for doing as well as he did at OSU. One thing I have observed in life is success in one place or area does not guarantee success in another. The opposite is true too. Just because you fail in one place doesn't mean you have to fail in another place.
Crews was not fired. He left UE to go to Army after it came out in 2001 that the school was reviewing a move to D2 and/or D3.
Reverend, Crean did NOT improve IU. IU, a blue blood at the time, and Cream lost 12 in a row on his way to his disastrous year THREE! Crean sucked at Georgia. I like the Aces, thus NO to Crean. And NO to DD the dbag.
I knew this was going to happen when they hired Lickiter. It screamed "we are broke, lets hire him". Maybe ten years earlier with Lickliter would have been a pinch better. Will be interesting to see who they can hire there at $500 k/best offer.
Lol In Washington IN where I grew up we either went to Vincennes or Evansville to, "do stuff". So we viewed Evansville as a happening place. I guess I really grew up in a Podunk town but never realized it.
You should have gone to Jasper. The Calumet was rockin'.
A high school buddy of mine would go to Jasper because the movie theater had the stadium seating. His children liked it better than the theater in Washington which did close for a while but somebody bought it and reopened.
That is in Indy right? I rarely got to Indianapolis as a kid or teen. My uncle lived in Speedway and we would visit him once in a while. He usually came to Washington to visit.
no. Evansville on south green river road. Where Sears used be.
I have been to both malls so yes I have been there. Not sure if we had any preference.
ARC Lanes was sure a fun place to hang out during HS years though spent more time on the pinball machines at Diamond Lanes. ARC had a really nice biliards area.
LIckliter had 1 year left on his deal and that was rumored to be under $300k. I don't think UE can afford anything close to $500k.
Yes. I also remember my dad bowling in leagues there in early 70s and some of my friends would go with us. We would go to the mall then go across the street (GR Road) to some school (Holy Spirit?) and play basketball in the back under the lights while he was bowling. Imagine parents letting their kids run loose like that now.
What about the guy (Greg Tonagel?) at Indiana Wesleyan, heard great things about him. I would think this would be a step up competition wise, but is he already in a better spot and would look for a better job? Assumed he'd have moved on by now, honestly.Haven't heard much on this opening, so did a little research and came up with this...
Where many stores used to be. Amazing it is still open, but I hear much of the square footage has been turned into office space and bars/lounges.
I'm from Tell City and a car load of us went to the Calumet a few times back in the 80's. Was always packed and wild. Had a blast as long as we didn't tell anyone we were river rats from Tell City. 😎
This is the person who popped into my mind as a perfect fit. I've only watched a few of their games online, but damn his teams always seem well prepared and every coach I've ever spoken to pretty much gushes over him. You would think with his connections to HS coaches within the state, he would be able to bring some good talent to E-ville.
Ford Center was built for hockey. The end zones are too long for basketball. They needed more land to properly fit the upper level seats. They only have upper level seats on one end and the pitch is too steep. Many complain of getting dizzy when they are walking to their seats. The angle is so steep that the seat back in front of you only sticks up a few inchesmaking it easy to trip over.
