    TOM CREAN FIRED

    Some thoughts this morning:   1)  His comment about not foreseeing Vic and Zeller leaving early was why there aren't any leaders from the 2012 class.  Which makes it even more BS IMO, they had all summer with those two and watched them play.  Besides, Crean never thought to pull someone aside and say "We're going to need you to take on more of a leadership role"?  Yeah, it's BS.   2)  We should stop using youth as an excuse.  Michigan played in the title game starting 3 freshman, a sophomore and a junior and none of them were McD's AA.  Syracuse lost MCW, Southerlund, and Triche (nearly 39 points) and is undefeated.  Young doesn't help, but that does not mean the team can't be good.  Certainly doesn't excuse how awful this team is.

    Vic had really improved his sophomore year but let's not exaggerate.  His midrange wasn't really reliable yet, and he had no business shooting a 3.   I'd say Crean's reasoning of "no one could see it coming" was crap though.

    [quote name="Rayl" post="40333" timestamp="1392685517"]So Crean said on his radio show that last year no one could have foreseen that Cody and Vic would leave early....[/quote] I'm not sure but I feel like he probably meant at the start of the season. And to be fair I would venture to say no one expected Vic to breakout like that and leave Sent from my BNTV600 using BtownBanners mobile app

      True, but if the AD were to go to them and make them feel like they have input on the next BB Coach at IU, they wouldn't go at his head.  If they hated him or Crean at this point lets be real.  That athletic department would not have got the money they have the last 5 years.  Money is coming in at a record pace.  That will be the telling sign whether or not the boosters believe in Crean or Glass.

    Yes, Newton played for Davis.  He was a Knight recruit though.  RMK even wrote that he was excited to coach that team because of the skillsets that Newton, Jeffries and Leach.

      Crean may have not been his hire but by giving him that huge extension, it may as well have been.  "Hey I didn't hire this guy but I gave him a huge extension with an increased buyout, oops my bad.  Please help me pay for my mistake!"   If the donors get fired up enough to pay Crean's buyout, don't you think they might want Glass gone too?  Which he has been a great AD overall for IU and I do not want him gone.  But he has definitely tied his wagon to Crean's fate by giving him that extension.

    Anytime I read the "Indiana guy" line I just think back to the fact that the most successful coach in our history was not an Indiana guy.  We hired a freaking Ohio guy with a degree from that detestable Ohio State University and well, he turned out okay.
