  • Crean Interview After NW Loss
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

If any of you truly think CTC has a lack of motivation, take your damn blinders off. That's insane to say his teams lack of energy is his fault... he's been called the most energetic coach in CBB by like 3-4 different broadcasters. Yeah, truly a flaw in Creans coaching arsenal.

Being energetic as a coach doesn't mean it wears off on your team. The problem is that all the good things Crean talks about and does hasn't been shown on his teams. At some point, his values need to show up in his program.
“He’s always been a guy — maybe to a fault — he would always try to do what I said. That seems like something simple in coaching, but those are the guys I hang my hat on. We’ve had some guys in our program, we had a couple guys that felt I had a bias towards E’Twaun Moore. And they were right — I do have a bias towards E’Twaun Moore. I like guys that go to class, that are academic All-Americans, that come early, that stay late, that love the game of basketball. I am biased towards those guys. And I’m biased towards Rob Hummel. But I’m also biased towards their habits, their work ethic, and how they carry themselves."

I agree. There are many ways to motivate your players, but just being energetic like the energizer bunny may not work for this group. Sometimes you have to motivate in others ways. Some players respond to that type of motivation, but some respond to being benched, speech, some type of punishment (like running stairs/laps), etc. Every player is different and it is up to Crean to find those buttons to push.

What Cam said. I like Crean and I'm still on board that he's the guy, but just being energetic pacing the sideline is fine and dandy but if it isn't transferring to the players, and our two freshmen continue to play with the most energy on the team, that isn't cutting it.

Kind of starting to hit home. ;)


That is what I have been trying to say too. Something has to give and Crean's energy defiinitely isn't rubbing off on the players. I think Crean's system is good if you got talent, but if you don't have it then make some adjustments. Make adjustments and give your players a chance to win. Just because you recruited players to play the dribble drive and flex offense doesn't mean you can't try something different to adjust to your players. I think you would lose more recruits by losing than playing a different offensive or defensive scheme that will help your team to win.

I heard on Dan Dakich show that he thinks Crean will start benching guys. I do hope it happens, because something drastic needs to happen. Crean's philosophy/teaching skills doesn't seem to be working.

I don't buy that Sheehey is playing with more energy than everyone else. He's a nice athlete who on defense continues to overpursue and go toward a double team leaving his man open. That looks like effort but in reality is a freshman lacking discipline. I do like his offensive game, but defensively he's not there yet.

Go to bed Brumdog. Isn't past your bedtime? Don't you have kids to teach in the morning?

At least you know he is trying.

Is that any different than sophomores or juniors lacking discipline? At least the guy wants to do something defensively. Most everyone else looks disinterested and lost
on that end of the floor.

Be specific. Anyone can throw out general statements.

My bad! I was just looking out for your best interest. Wanted you to be fresh and sharp in the morning for those youngsters. ;)
