Hoosierfan2017

I feel like we've already lost momentum though and the only way to bring it back is a fresh coach roaming the sidelines. There's not much else to root for at this point in our lost season. Crean is heading toward his 3rd rebuild here and recruiting has been slowing down the past few years. Have fun at the BTT! DC is one of my favorite cities.

I don't have much faith in him doing that either, but at least there's a chance he gets it right and we become a top program again. That's better than what we've got going for us right now.

The "true Hoosier" stuff is crap. Fans have been hoping their teams tank to improve their fortunes for a long time. I want us to tank because I'm sick and tired of watching sloppy, undisciplined basketball. I'm tired of watching us get beat in recruiting battles over and over again and having to settle for our third and fourth options. I'm tired of watching IU finish 5th or worse in the conference in 7 of the last 9 years. I have no faith in Fred Glass firing Tom Crean so I want things to get to the point where firing him is the only option he has. I disagree with some people's views on the best way to get a new coach, but I don't get on here and say that they're not "true Hoosiers." Rooting for wins no matter what doesn't make you anymore of a Hoosier than the guy rooting for a collapse so a change can finally be made. We all seemingly want the same thing, we just have different opinions on how to get there.

With a username like that you gotta stay. Elaborate though, please.

Yeah like it sucks rooting for L's but I can't hope we win while also hoping for Crean to get fired because they're not both going to happen. And he's shown he won't win nearly enough to be worth keeping around. Idk, I understand other people have different feelings about this but rooting for wins doesn't make sense logically to me at this point.

I just really don't understand hoping for wins while also hoping for Crean to get fired. Like we have to lose, and lose a lot, for him to be gone. Otherwise Crean stays and we're stuck in mediocrity forever and that's the worst place to be imo.

This sucks. Wins do absolutely nothing at this point except give Glass reasons to keep his homie Crean.

F word.

Screw the tank, I want Priller to hit a game winning step back 3.

Welp

I'm predicting a second half collapse. They spent all their energy celebrating that shot. Joking aside, I do see them letting up after halftime.

Sitting in the balcony tonight be like

Man I wouldn't have the endurance to be on the tank train that long lol. This Big 10 season has been long enough.

This actually made me lol. So goofy.

Classless was booing the guy's kid at his high school game a couple years ago. Crean's a grown man, he should be able to handle some boos. Not showing up for the games doesn't really work because someone else will end up buying the tickets, and if I already have them and just don't go then I wasted my money.

If that's the case then we know what to do.

If Crean gets an extension Glass is a confirmed Purdue double agent. That would be an all-time dumb decision.

Lol alright man[emoji108]🏻 I'm booing a coach at a basketball game for 10 seconds during introductions, not going up to him in public and making a scene. I'll be far from the only boo in the crowd. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Ehh, I'll pass. We have to send the university a message. I won't boo the players but I'll have fun booing the crap outta Crean during introductions.

It's like he knows the refs won't call anything so he flails away. He's gonna do it to the wrong guy one of these days and it'll come back to bite him.

I don't think McRobbie cares much about basketball, but if the fans let him know the donations will dry up until Crean is gone that'll get his attention real quick. I just googled him to like for his email address and came across this. I wonder if the incidents a couple years ago affect his attitude toward Crean. http://www.indystar.com/story/sports/college/indiana/2015/08/26/fred-glass-michael-mcrobbie-indiana-hoosiers-student-athlete-behavior/32405985/ I'm pretty indifferent on Glass right now. He's done some good stuff with the other sports, but basketball isn't where it needs to be. If he puts us through another year of Crean ball I'm 100% on board with removing them both.

The Fire Fred Glass thread is going to be lit if he brings Crean back.

Who is that guy? The Purdue athletics shirt in his profile pic and the "there's absolutely no reason to fire Crean" lead me to believe he's trolling..

If we can't get a home run hire then I would rather take a flyer on a young guy than hire a good, but not great, coach in his 50s. Lack of experience doesn't bother me much. All of the greats were "inexperienced" at some point. If it works out then you've got your coach for the next 25-30 years. If it doesn't then you fire him and try again.
