Welcome to Our Hoosier Board!

Most of the posters here have been around for nearly a decade now. You'll find their knowledge and insight to be second to none. We have a really strong community and value everyone's opinions.

Feel free to jump into any thread and voice your opinion with conviction. We love heated debates and even some fanbase ribbing from time to time. We pride ourselves on the lack of moderation needed to make this board successful.

Please remember that we have been around many years and have an astute ability to tell the difference between an immature, childish, trash-talking troll and a passionate fan voicing his or her opinion. It is at the discretion of Jazen and myself whether any moderating actions should be taken at any given time. It's a very, very rare thing. In other words, no worries....you'll be fine!

Cheers,
sirbrianwilson

I'm pretty sure that Crean knows more about where Bawa is at than you do. But, i guess Bawa's lack of minutes equates to Crean not trying.

find another team, man. There are a lot to choose from. Go get yourself one then jump back on the bandwagon when we're better in a couple years.

dedicated, I think he has seven or eight posts in this thread and in every one of them he's like my post menopausal grandma: no periods to be found.

Seriously, eight or so posts and he has yet to place a period at the end of senteance while using triple question marks or explanation points about ten times. I'm sorry, but there's not much to respect from someone who would ask bg to spell check his posts.
So you are more interested in the punctuation of a post than the general idea/concepts?........interesting.
As soon as he comes up with a concept, I'll examine it.

But when you begin a proposition by saying he sees a lot of big men on IU's bench, there isn't reason to look on. I like Elston and want to see more of him, but to play three bigs on the floor at once means you really need to have five bigs that can play quite a bit. Watford, Elston, Pritchard, Capo, and who? Jobe? Muniru? We all like the idea of Muniru, but is there any reason to believe that he is anywhere near being ready? I haven't seen it. At this point if he can play five minutes and not hurt us, I'm happy.

It also means that you're putting Jones back in the backcourt and taking up more ball handling duties, which I know you're not in favor of.

I'm in favor of Elston picking up minutes...but more at Pritchard's expense.
And that's a legitimate counter argument. I'm not saying you should go big for the entire game, but if you are resting Jones why not go big in spurts? And what is wrong with Bawa picking up 3 minutes here and there at the 5? I guess the point is that Crean isn't even trying.
Now that is a good point too. Most likely IU won't win the last three games and the game in the B10 tournament, so Crean has nothing to lose and more to gain by playing Bawa 3-7 minutes a game.

Hey Brum, I think ichiro is just young. I have seen a lot of people on here misspelling words, not punctuating properly, over use of the comma, etc.. It isn't a big deal. I thought we want more people to start posting on here and have open ended discussions. Not eveyone thinks the same way and that makes for good overall discussions, IMO.

I think putting Bawa in a game at this point would be the definition of giving up.

Disagree. I think it depends what type of defense we're in, but overall, if I was an opposing big man I'd be much happier to see Pritchard versus Bawa. Bawa is going to make some horrible decisions occasionally, but he at least has the ability to block someone.

He's averaging a block per 12 minutes of play. Granted, it's a small window that he's played (58 Minutes; 5 Blocks), but in comparison, Pritchard is averaging a block for every 35 minutes he plays, Elston one per 42 minutes, and Capo one per 42.

I think he at least deserves the chance. I doubt he does anything on offense, but Elston is really the only one that's shown sparks of talent on that end.

how can he hurt a team that loses all the time? how can he not be ready to play on a team that is not competetive and according to you all is building towards the next year? put him in the game it isnt going to be the difference between winning and losing and there is no better way to get a person ready than by putting him in the game and getting experience...

I think most people on here agree to play Bawa about 5-7 minutes a game. I don't see anything wrong with it, but obviously Crean does. ;)

If he can't beat the likes of Capobianco and Pritchard in practice, exactly why should he be playing?

Every account I've heard has said that he has struggled in practice. What kind of message is sent to play him just to play him?

As has been said, I'd like to see him get five or so minutes..but at this point he's only played against scrubs in blowouts and he's still looked bad.

The message gets sent to Pritchard and others that their jobs are not safe.
