Message: [QUOTE="JeepCSC, post: 2470512, member: 3214"] Indiana had many built-in advantages when Knight was forced out, but they squandered it with the Davis hire and salted the earth with the Sampson hire. Crean took a decimated program and made it respectable, but he spent so long cleaning up the mess he walked in on that he became associated with losing for many IU fans. All this was going on while Izzo surpassed IU as the preeminent B10 team and Michigan, Ohio State, Wisconsin and others were pushing IU even below them. IU is a cautionary tale that no program is immune with the wrong hire and poor AD leadership. [/QUOTE]
