I was never that impressed with Yogi. I felt that up until last year, he hurt the team more than he helped them. Last year he impressed me with his maturity and more of a team focus. Big change over his previous three years. Coach Crean had much more patience with him than I would have. Same goes for Williams.seriously? that team started 3 and then 2 McDonald's all-americans with plenty of top 75 kids. it should have competed for a conference title. we were fortunate to have great talent considering how the prior two years played out but not fortunate that coach was somehow able to make it work. lol he did a good job but we did not overachieve. lol
seriously, your expectations are really tough to figure out.
As far as McDonald's All Americans, that's a nice honor for a high school kid, but it's just an opinion. My two favorites last year that made a difference were OG and TB. One was an all-American in HS and one of them was not. Regardless I liked how the IU coaches brought along the freshmen giving them more responsibility as the year progressed.
I thought Maryland had the most talent last year in the Big 10 and IU just flat out played them. Call it coaching or call it luck, I thought Crean deserved the COY award.
