Alford is Crean without the burned bridges with Indiana high school coaches.

No it's not.

It's already done. Trust me.

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.

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

Bring back Mike Krzyzewski

I bet you use a leash walking your kids too

Correct

Just that "the meeting" we've all been waiting for between Crean and Glass happened. No details on level of mutual decision, or any of the soft landing stuff people have been floating around.

I'm referring to actually saying today the meeting occurred, not that in general he's gone.

He's done.

Only a rumor by internet forum standards. When the word officially breaks I want credit.

Completely understandable. It's still happening though.

Spoke with and confirmed by someone very high up the chain of command. The meeting with Crean happened earlier today. There won’t likely be an official announcement until after the BTT though. Obviously no word yet on a replacement, however it will definitively not be Alford or Stevens (he’s not interested at this point). More to come in the next week or so.

There should be a new thread sometime later tomorrow...

It's coming guys. Don't worry.

Just spoke with someone very high up the chain of command. Not to leave everyone waiting in the dark here, but it sounds like the process of removing Crean is beginning to get rolling. I should have more information this weekend.

I don't know if I've ever seen a team coached from a legitimate top 5 team in the country into one of the worst P5 teams in the same season. And yes, they were rightfully top 5 in early December, and no, losing Anunoby has not made that much of a difference. Normally teams get exposed as frauds for the preseason hype they received, but this IU team earned every bit of praise beating KU and UNC. And now? I know that Crean has his flaws as a coach and I've called him out on them over the years, but this is embarrassing by even that benchmark.

We may end up finishing 13th in the conference.

Crean would have received an extension following the 2012-13 season for winning the conference. We'd be in a worse position now if Glass didn't give him it when he did, unfortunately.

If Glass does bring him back, we're starting a change.org petition for the IU BOT to remove Glass. It sounds silly, but it'll have 50,000 signatures within three days.

Crean was on Zillow for 9 hours after the Michigan game?

About the extension, if it had never happened when it did, what kind of deal do you think Crean would have received following the 2012-13 season? Yes, the Syracuse loss stung, but he did win the conference that year and have the team in the top 3 for most of the season. As ridiculous as the extension was, I think he would have got one regardless after that season, and we may have been in a worse place than we are now. Imagine if the buyout was $7 million right now?

I said this before and I'll say it again. If my son was a HS recruit, Indiana would right now be near the bottom of my list of schools I'd want him to play at. And this is coming from someone who has two degrees from IU.
