March 27, 2015 - Fred Glass sent a vote of confidence to the IndyStar backing Coach Crean. Let's see what he said...
Fast forward to March 11, 2017 and let's see where things are now.
- We did not contend for the B1G Championship
- We did not go deep in the NCAA tournament
- We are certainly not going to win a National Championship.
- Glass believed in the team he was assembling (in 2016 that was true). I still think part of the reason he was retained in 2015 was the roster we had in 2016 assuming Yogi was returning. Had the opportunity to succeed last year. I don't think he can have that same outlook for next year and the year after. No Burger boys coming here now.
I like Crean as a person, feel horrible for what that Maryland fan yelled at him, nobody deserves that. I want to thank Tom Crean for his contributions to Indiana Basketball and part ways IF. and I mean IFFFFF we can land Donovan, Marshall, Bennett, Collins, Archie or Sean Miller. If those coaches aren't available, I expect and support the decision to bring Crean back another year. I don't want to get into bed with someone not named above for the next 5 years if we don't have too.
