2012–13   Indiana   29–7   14–4   1st   NCAA Sweet Sixteen

2014–15   Indiana   20–14   9–9   T–7th   NCAA Round of 64

Can't remember if Coach Weber started 2012-13 or 13-14 - either way that's one more torn-a-ment than we've had during that time. At least he has a little passion - maybe he could be a mash-up of oscar & Frank? Probably an upgrade from oscar (he can recruit, right?), but would be pretty underwhelming. Unfortunately, if this is oscar's last lap around the track, I think we're in for an underwhelming choice anyway. Man, K-State basketball used to be so fun . . .

Crean wouldn't take this job anyways. There's not a competent coach in the country that will work under our AD. JFC, Bill is gonna try to whip cancer's ass (which he will), and still keep coaching at 98 if it means some pencil dick can't ruin the football program too.

I remember driving to Manhattan KS a few times, but don't remember whether you have information superhighways out there.

Indiana was decent the year before he took over so not sure why first year was so shitty.

Do you know about The Google?

He would definitely be an update. 3 Sweet 16s in the last 6 seasons is pretty good.

Crean has recruited very well to IU. They aren't good this year, but their best player has missed half the season and another would be senior starter is on a medical redshirt. Many boosters want him gone, but don't want to pay to buy him out right after buying Wilson out. He'll likely get one more year of Sweet 16 or bust.

he's recruited well to Indiana?  what a chess master this guy must be.

He looks like a spazz to me

[emaw24]

Crean would be a legit hire for K-State. Been to a few practices, like his offensive schemes. Looks like he is really missing McClain as his assoc. head coach. He would do really well here at K-State, looks like they are very poor defensively this year. His teams are always prepared for late game situations. He would recruit well here and win. How long would he stay is the real question.

They did beat KU this year. 


Damn!  He trippin' so hard fans are gonna think he done fell off!

Yeah, I don't think that would translate either, just a data point.  He recruited pretty well to Marquette too though, 3 players drafted in 7 years.

The same logic used to hire oscar. You should demand more from your alma mater than a bargain bin retread.

Not really. Dudes not a loser, doesn't make excuses and brought IU out of the dumpster when he had like 5 scholly guys. I like his energy and leadership. Pretty sure oscar is not know for his ability to get his team to score the ball at a high efficiency.

He's too ugly for my liking.

I don't think its quite to oscar's level, but I get your point. I think Crean is a better version of oscar and just as good (probably better) than any hire from the mid major ranks this season.

I do think there there are problems there, as our old friend Gregg Doyel writes here: http://www.indystar.com/story/sports/columnists/gregg-doyel/2017/02/12/doyel-crean-getting-tired-iu-team-fans/97753170/

What do you disagree with?

[kso_FAN]

After reading that Doyel article, Indiana's season sounds a lot like oscar's last at Illinois. Maybe there isn't as much separation between the two as I thought.
