Billy D was asking tonight about the IU opening. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Surprised not much more chatter here. people not want him? Or don't think he'd leave Arizona?

Due to the firing of Tom Crean, I have turned off many of the features of this site in order to keep us online. As you know we've already crashed multiple times. I'll turn the other features you all love back on in the coming hours. Just trying to weather the storm.

If we get to April we are waiting on Donovan or Brad Stevens. That would be glorious Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Really Stu? I'd definitely give him a chance, but you don't think this would be Too much to handle? IPFW doesn't really count as a full 5 years to me. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

This one really interests me as he previously said no to Indiana. Albeit this was a completely different job back then when he said no. I'd be happy with Bennett. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Stevens currently makes $3.7M a year. He got an extension but the figures were undisclosed. If we are up near $5-6M. That will make Brad Stevens listen. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

I'm just saying, it will get more interesting. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

This Vermont Purdue game has the feeling of one where Purdue blows it open to start the second half. Hope I'm wrong Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Anyone else even a little sad seeing this thread die out? It was pretty epic :)

BRUTAL for Vandy. wow

Okay this one made me LOL when I saw it pop up on Twitter.

Regardless of current thoughts, Brad Stevens needs to be included here. Glass is going to throw some money around for a HOME RUN HIRE. That was the sense I got. Welcome Stevens and Donovan back to the discussion.

Troy Williams Thank you instagram post https://www.instagram.com/p/BRtapipljmj/

Too soon for Fife. Would love for him as an assistant, think he will become a great coach, but I'd rather go for others at this point.

This x 1000. Really appreciate all Crean did for IU over the last 9 years. He came in and took this job when it was at it's ugliest. We had some GREAT times with you Coach Crean. Thank you for everything you've done and best of luck in the future. I WILL cheer for your success and wish nothing but the best for you in your coaching career. I really wish it didn't have to end this way as you personally don't deserve it. All Hoosiers whether they admit it or not, appreciate what you've done here. THANK YOU COACH CREAN!
