neighbor who is a bigger IU freak than I am
think that I was one of the early online orders...
I had the chance to meet Coach Crean and his wife a few years ago at the Globetrotter vs College All Star game at Conseco as he was watching and supporting his former player Steve Novak.
I came away from that meeting and conversation thinking what a great guy he was.

I HOPE McCallum does stay on as a coach
I would NOT be crushed if Armon and Ellis didn't return, although I hope they do because at some point IU needs to set a standard again and maybe these kids don't realize that. Suspensions are unacceptable! Now I do think there is MORE to the story than we know.
I still think the IU student section should be called the Crimson Guard (g.i. joe reference)
He said all the right things, now let's see what miracles he can pull off and what happens with the NCAA infractions committee in June.
I am not sure I want to know how close were to hiring Kruger or Monty
Other thoughts:
-Dakich should go back to being Director of Basketball Operations or whatever he was
-McCallum should stay on as an assitant
-Crean can do whatever he wants with the rest of his staff
-I love how embraced the tradition
I'm happy, which has been rare over the past few days.
How does a guy like Dominic James get out of Indiana and go to Marquette of all places...TOM CREAN!
I am beyond excited...has not been alot to be excited about in a long time!
Decent interview, kinda short.
worse things that have gone on and probably are going on as we speak when it
comes to recruiting. I think the university has done plenty in punishing itself and a
post season ban is not necessary.
Like the law, when looking at cases you refer back to what has been established as precedent, and it has been set and we should be in the clear.
Generally speaking, there has to be a severe lack of institutional control and some measure of success for the NCAA to hand down a post-season ban. In the case of IU, there just wasn't that much there, other than a cell phone bill.
More likely than not, they'll place IU on probation for 2-4 years. They'll accept the already imposed penalties. Life will go on, and when Coach Crean inagurates a new basketball stadium in Bloomington by hanging a new banner, the last few years will be all but forgotten.
1. Bassett and Ellis and anyone who might be transferring.
2. Holloway and Ebanks and recruiting, especially if players are transferring.
3. Picking his assistant coaches.
2) Ebanks is a lost cause I think at this point, he is looking for a one year shot at a championship before he goes pro and IU is not that school, at least not next year. I say Holloway will be back
3) Hopefully, he dumps the entire staff except for maybe McCallum, and I tell Greenspan to send Dakich packing, tell him thanks for the memories and he can go to TT and be an assistant for Pat Knight. Obviously, there is something the players don't like about him, and he doesn't need to be anywhere near the program fostering the bad feelings from this year. I'm not saying its his fault but he did nothing at BG and did nothing at IU. Go back to being an alum and remembered for "stopping" Jordan instead of remembered for this. I do hope Crean adds one former Hoosier as a coach...possibly Keith Smart though I doubt he would leave IU
I think keeping Bassett has to be the priority of the two, and with point guard being so vital, I'd hate to throw Holloway (if he comes) right into the fire. Plus having Bassett and Holloway gives us two ball handlers.
Oh, hey! Convenient!
As such I believe ALL players who WANT to develop will be back. Any player who hesitates to committ to that will be made an example of and be gone .................to the team's improvement I might add.
Frankly I could care less about Ebanks and Holloway. They are not TC's recruits and since he is our coach he deserves the chance to get his kind of guys. For all I know he has better arrows in his quiver. If Ebanks is "one and done" I would think twice anyway
