Let's talk again after the NCAA's final ruling. Maybe it gets better from that point.

Sorry guys but I think this is a horrible hire….I really wanted Mike Montgomory.

Now at this point, the only thing for the next 10-12 years we will have to talk about is basketball, screening, good recruiting classes, and players improving.

This is so so not like IU…..
so much for the phone records being examined,
player drug use (alledgely), iladvised 3's,
coaches not showing up due to a cold…eerrrr fear of fans,
no more choking players or random students,
no more boycotts, no more “shoot every time” or “help is on the way” comments……
no more recruiting other colleges verbal committed kids….i.e. eric gordon or robbie hummel (unless we feel we can get them)….
no more hugging players to show you really love them and want to keep your job

FINALLY no more “Mike Montgomory and Lon Kruger rumors……..”

All I could think about was Zeke running the show, or Mike Montgomery collecting his pension while on our sidelines, or Alford coming back to ressurect the ghost that is Bobby. I was ready to go into POSTAL MODE. When I first heard Crean's name last night, I was indifferent. But now that I reflect back on WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN...(Kruger, Thomas, Montgomery, Alford, or Dakich), I'm kind of excited about this hire. I'm just not sure why it took the PBR committee to find this guy. Welcome aboard Coach....glad to have ya! B-town40 and I had a discussion that went something like this…
