Rumor.....................

[djct1999]

Play with me here......there are people suggesting that Crean is out at Indiana with a loss at Michigan State Sat. If so(and long overdue), would Shaka take that job? If he takes that job, does Mack get released and.....................just sayin.

Indiana Jones has found an old grave site in the Sinai marked Goliath. Upon excavating the grave, Jones realized that Goliath was not dead but merely sleeping. After a few weeks of rehab, Jones discovered that Goliath had a nice little jump hook.....

A hypothetical wrapped in a possibility. Someone call Leo...

A lot of ifs in that hypothetical, but I don't think Crean would get canned this season. If they weren't going to fire him after a 17-15 season last year, I don't think they can fire him with the team currently at 19-11 in the middle of the B1G standings

seems odd - young team (7FR, no Sr), in the hunt for a bid, 2 years removed from a conf championship.

I would not see Smart and IU as a good match - that guy either has his eye on a job or 2, or he and his wife so love the fan they are staying in Richmond forever.

I think Ben Jacobson would get the call...especially if UNI makes the S16 again this year. Shaka seems content to stay at VCU.

I see Jacobson as looking towards the B12. Barnes is back on the hot seat, and Texas's roster/incoming class is much more primed for future success than Indiana's.

Shaka will be the next coach at UConn. He so reminds me of a young Calhoun it's frightening.

Are you not satisfied with Kevin Ollie?

Get the duck* out of here. He's our coach, he's not going to the NBA. If you aren't pleased with the results he's brought, then go cry me a river. Or jump on another team's bandwagon. Clown.

 

[UconnFanNVa]

As someone that hears a lot about Shaka being that I live in Richmond. I'd be completely shocked if he left VCU. Doesn't seem to be about the money or fame with him. He is THE man in Richmond, I just cant seem him leaving.

Be happy this is his first appearance in a while. This is the type of season I expected to see him a lot.

I love Kevin Ollie and want him to remain the coach at UConn for the rest of his career. That being said, if he ever left UConn for the NBA, Shaka Smart would be on my short list as a guy to replace him.

IU justifiably have higher expectations. And it's worth noting that their recruiting class is, thus far, pretty damn disappointing. They haven't been in the race for most of the top kids in the midwest.

But you're right - if everybody returns, they should be a Final Four-caliber team next season. I'd wager he gets next year to prove it.

I would not see Smart and IU as a good match - that guy either has his eye on a job or 2, or he and his wife so love the fan they are staying in Richmond forever.

Smart's a midwest guy who recruits above and beyond what his program should be able to land. I don't think he's much of an in-game coach - "Havoc" is a gimmick - but he'd be the perfect hire for IU should Crean get the ax.

And not a moment too soon. Just when I thought I'd gotten my Ignore list well in hand, I'm gifted w/a chance for fine-tuning at a perfect time.

I think Crean will eventually be fired in the next 2-3 years. Gotta think they'd make a call to Greg Marshall at Wichita State...of course after getting done dreaming about pulling Brad Stevens out of the NBA.

 

[sammydabiz]

Well... At least this gentlemen doesn't want Crean to leave

There's something fundamentally wrong with the way Stevens is running the Celtics. Getting up by 25 every game and praying you cling to a win is not a recipe for success with offensive fire power in the league right now.

Someone call CPS!

They don't have a closer, which is really crucial in the NBA. The job he has done this season has been really good. He is going to be an excellent NBA coach when (if) the Celtics get any talent.

[QUOTE="Havoc" is a gimmick.[/QUOTE]

Isn't it Nolan Richardson's 40 minutes of hell exported from Fayetteville to Richmond about 2 decades later.....it's effective, but it's not some huge innovation or revelation.

A young JC? I have noooooo idea where that came from.

Celtics had rebuilding in mind when they let everyone go. Danny has a plan and making the playoffs last year or this year was not it!

 

[Jerry1714]

His buyout is 12.5 million this year.

He is going nowhere.

Yeah, I don't think you understand how much people hate Tom Crean around here.
