    There is still a faction of I.U fans out there - though, not nearly the amount of fans that the I.U critics/detractors out there would lead you to believe - that will never fully accept any head I.U B-Ball coach not named Robert Montgomery Knight.

    Unfortunately for Tom Crean, he now has to also deal with an apparently large faction of fans who will not accept him because his name isn't Brad Stevens.

    That is simply the reality of the situation.

    Strangely enough, John Groce "outcoached" both Stevens and Crean this season.

    Crean inherited a cluster at IU, but I suppose you can't really blame some IU fans for being a little unnerved by the fact that there is a guy coaching within their state's borders who has taken Butler (BUTLER!) to two national title games since Crean started in Bloomington.

    Pretty funny thing pre-game. OSU had Bob Knight do a pre-game video they aired before the game basically slapping IU in the face. He even did an O-H!.

    Onto the game, best I've seen Watford look all season, mentally he seemed to be in it the whole game.

    Zeller played well, Oladipo was very efficient.

    Those 3 scored all but 10 of IU's points I believe

    Not only did he inherit it, he cleaned it up and suffered the consequences of doing such.

    I knew Stevens was a better coach when he coached his way out of that paper bag, that one time.

    IU's last road win over top 10 team before yesterday? December 5, 2000, 80-68 at #10 Notre Dame - The debut year of Mike Davis as coach.

    There are plenty of things to unnerve an IU fan, but I don't think Butler's success is one of them.

    Projecting anything done 2-3 years ago to what I can expect this year or next year or 5 years from now is folly in almost every case, and especially in an extreme case like IU's.

    Dan Dakich helped clean up the mess before he left.
    When I see the 2016 Reds, I see a 100 loss team and no direction.

    Spot-on.

    Looking back now, Dakich handled everything about as well as anyone possibly could have. Sadly, given the then-prevailing team opinion that Ray Mccallum should have been named interim coach, the team essentially quit on Dakich.

    I'm not at all suggesting that Dakich should have been named permanent head coach, but Dan certainly deserved better. And his contributions to the program, especially during the tumultuous '08 season, shouldn't be forgotten, but often are.

    Right on!

    I also might throw out there that McCallum himself was part of the problem.

    I love this blog post which just cobbles together a bunch of anonymous quotes from opposing coaches scouting IU.
