I was thinking this same thing and how many years did that last? Granted, he had a huge drinking problem which only sped up the inevitable. As far as our situation, I say we cut our losses and buy him out. Nothing but good things to say except come game time. The beauty and/or curse of coaching at IU is you have the most passionate and knowledgeable basketball fans anywhere. Its beautiful when your winning and a curse when everyone in the stands can see how horrible your actual coaching is. You just can't fake it here; the coach speak bs doesn't work. When your fans understand more of what's going on in a game than the man getting paid 2 mil a year, isn't that a referendum on his tenure? Crean not only has lost this team but also our alumni and fans. Instead of just booing his sub patterns mid game, we are actually booing the product at the end of them too. And I have never heard that even during the mike Davis years.
