MusicCityBilliken Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 You have hand it to Crews, he just says the right things. No controversy. Sometimes I miss the big guy interviews and have this board explode Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almaman Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 again thanks for posting this episode. Best show on radio in town. helps of course that they have a red hot product. I can see how we got some of the Crew's era recruits so quickly. He's easy going good talker a better listener, very believable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SShoe Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 I like that he admitted his timeout late in the game on Saturday was a really stupid one. The only TO that was worse was Jamie Dixon's last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only TO that was worse was Jamie Dixon's last week. Agreed. We've all got little to complain about these days with Crews but that timeout was really bad. And you can attest that I didn't like it when he first did it. The results that followed, missed fts followed by 4 quick VCU points, only angered me more. Props to him for admitting it.

To be expected. National COY, likely to get at least A-10 COY this year. The suitors will come calling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMM28 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 I never really thought about Crews leaving. Mostly because of his age I would think IU would be one of the only spots that makes sense. I think it's a long shot that Crean gets canned there though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thetorch Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 After this season Crews will get some offers from some major schools hoping he wants to cash in before he retires. We will have to pony up the dough to keep him here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
68Alum Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Made this comment to my cousin, also a SLU alum, a week ago. JC to BK early in the season "This is a good team, I think we can make a deep run". BK to JC "TC is sliding at IU and CC is not in the running. He's 42 and he needs a team to launch his career. I'll put your name in the discussion with the IU alumni." Maybe we can get you your pre- retirement payday". JC to BK "I'll pick up CC as my back-up." Makes you kind of wonder too, how HM thought of JC when he had to know that his health was in decline. Maybe they call BK "the General" for more than reason!

slufan13 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Crews isn't going anywhere. He'd maybe consider the Indiana job, but I don't see him leaving. He genuinely enjoys it here. He's close to all his family. It's a much lower pressure job than a Big10 school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorB Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 I love coach Crews and am thankful he's here; but whoever suggested him going back to Bloomington knows approximately zero about IU basketball and what that's all about. Believe me when I tell you: Crews will not be heading back to Indiana except to visit relatives and recruit young studs to play ball in the Lou. In fact believe this too: Jim Crews will retire from SLU. Hopefully with more career wins than Coach Majerus, and if we are lucky, with many more wins than RM. I think one day another banner will be unfurled next to Coach Majerus's in the Chaifetz rafters: # of wins to be determined . . . . .

brianstl Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Who would you rather have as your coach for the next 8 years Jim Crews or Tom Crean? No offense to Crews, but that question is pretty to answer for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slu72 fan Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Who would you rather have as your coach for the next 8 years Jim Crews or Tom Crean? No offense to Crews, but that question is pretty to answer for me. Not Crean, he hit lightning in a bottle when Dwayne Wade stayed at Marquette. If he had one and done like Larry the Legend, Crean's record would have a much different outcome. He's had one good year at IU, granted he had to rebuild. This year's team is nothing special. Come on, it is Indiana. Shouldn't be very hard to recruit to there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianstl Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Crean is coming off two straight sweet 16 appearances for a program that hadn't made it out of the first weekend in a decade. Crean isn't going anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slufan13 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Crean is coming off two straight sweet 16 appearances for a program that hadn't made it out of the first weekend in a decade. Crean isn't going anywhere. +1. And they had a pretty good recruiting class this past year. They lost a ton of players from last year's team. Most teams will struggle after that. Maybe Indiana shouldn't struggle as much as they are, but if I'm an Indiana fan, I'd take Crean over Crews. And honestly, if they did fire Crean, Crews wouldn't be at the top of my list for a replacement even though he is an IU grad. I think IU would rather hire a top, young coach even if he doesn't have an connection to IU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACE Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 After this season Crews will get some offers from some major schools hoping he wants to cash in before he retires. We will have to pony up the dough to keep him here. That would surprise me. It seems like the "major" schools all tend to go for the young hot-shot coach - I'm not saying that's right, in fact I think a lot of times it is better to go with the more experienced coach who has learned from past mistakes. USC hiring that guy from Gulf Coast seemed to be a real gamble. The kid pulled off a couple of upsets in the tournamnet and all of the sudden he gets a BCS job. That's not a very long track record. The coach doesn't really strike me as somebody who has built a program. I will be interested to see how he does at USC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
