Dear everyone, Tom Crean is leaving IU at the end of the season. Sincerely, Magnanimous

The only way we get to 1000 pages is if we read and react to every little thing, every hour of the day. Allow us to wallow in our overreactions in peace. Lol. [emoji6] Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Fellas, I'll prolly end up getting married this yr. I think 10 yrs of dating this chick is long enough. But all the guys I've thought would be in my wedding are gonna hafta be pissed cause I'm having all of you as groomsmen instead.

This isn't only Glass' call. Everyone needs to give it a rest for a week. Nothing is happening until after the BTT. Until then, go smoke a cigar and find someone to make love to.

Honestly anyone that says we are lucky to have him or we should keep him absolutely disgust me and makes me ashamed to call them an IU fan.

Clearly those of us who care enough to be on this site are serious IU fans. If Crean returns then we will have to start some sort of formal therapy group. I grew up in the 80's, in a family that watched each game, recorded it, and then watched it two or three times until the next game on the schedule. One year, when my dad was laid up with a back injury, my mother was irritated by the poor signal and ended up falling off an icy roof trying to get the antenna in a better position. When I met my wife, on our first date I told her that things do not get scheduled during IU games. Last year, with the Duke game, I hit my limit. Even when Crean's teams "play well", they don't do the fundamental things all that great, the issues are just covered up by great shooting or the flash of a guy like Victor or Troy. Of course I hope for both, but I could really get behind a team that was low on talent, high on effort and I. I could proudly cheer for an IU team with a losing record, if the losses weren't from carelessness. After the Duke game I didn't watch Indiana for 5 straight games. I didn't even know they were on a couple of times. I am certainly losing my fire under Crean. If he is back, I will definitely be done watching IU. There is nothing he could do next year, including winning a title that would change my mind about him. The idea of a new coach has me completely fired up. I am willing to give ANY non-cheater a chance.

People like this are how you get 6 years of Mike Davis and 9 years of Tom Crean. We must have more enablers and supportive fans than Duke, UK, Kansas and UNC combined. No way those programs tolerate as much as us.

Another day of silence from Glass should be all the proof necessary. If he were coming back, they would already have the extension negotiated and we'd have had the 'kiss and hugs' press conference. If he were coming back, this extended period of uncertainty would have been eliminated so as not to impact recruiting of the likes of Tucker and Mark Smith and calm any concerns from our signed LOI's.

I would imagine Crean leads the team in deflections, he deflects any and all responsibility at every opportunity.

At least the fence wasn't named barb. THAT would be painful.

Wrong. No team ranked outside the top 21 in defensive efficiency has won a NCAA title.

Actually, Bennett has had his offense in the top 20 in efficiency. Just like Wisconsin, when he has the horses he will cut them loose. Bo Ryan just went to 2 final Fours and played for a national championship. To be honest, Wisconsin in many ways became the old Indiana. Id be exstatic with Bennett.

Right. It would be terrible to consistently have the best defense in the nation, a top seed in the tournament and fundamentally sound, high character student-athletes.

Name calling isn't allowed. Please return to your respective corners and consider it a warning on Fleek. Please and thanks! Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Also if Crean returns be prepared for "We are such a young and inexperienced team this season. We haven't been healthy in months. We need to find a leader, we don't really have a clear cut leader. Players are having to play roles they aren't used to and that's a big challenge. We just need to watch some film". Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners

I should've known better than to waste one of my free Indy Star articles on Doyel's word vomit.

It's like these people want us to accept a fate as a mediocre basketball program and roll over and die. They don't want us to push back. "It's not the 1980s anymore IU fans, you can't expect to be elite." "You're not going to find another coach better than Crean, no point in even trying." They make us out to be delusional fans for wanting success.

Just a thought but maybe because he spends half of the game on the perimeter shooting threes. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

THis is a bunch of baloney. IUFB of 2014-2016 compared to IU football of the early 2000's is night and day (for the better)

He should have 0 job security and 0 leverage when it comes to this situation. If he does, Glass can go too.
