Believe him or not, we need to fix Indiana basketball. NOW.

Rick Greenspan was the one who originally signed the Adidas deal. Fred Glass is going to be able to show if he's competent at his job in 2016 by signing with someone other than Adidas. I know that Michigan is not going to resign with Adidas, Notre Dame left Adidas.

Love the Crean... I mean Cream* color.. Does anyone actively want to resign with Adidas?! I wish we would look into changing our white Jerseys to Cream full time.

Our Adidas contract ends in 2016... Please god, anything but Adidas. Nike, Jordan, Under armour. Anything else. Michigan is about to end the Adidas contract early in favor of Nike. I want us to do the same.

Serious: would you rather have Mike Davis or Crean? In 10 years, who will go down as the better coach in the IU books?

Don't forget that Patino left a winning NYK team that had Ewing to coach UK.

Would you rather have Gregg Marshall or Brad Stevens?

In 3-4 consecutive possessions IU did not set 1, count em, 1 fundamental screen.

Patino also churned out B2B Final Fours... And it's still a possibility that iu doesn't make the tourney

Has anyone else seen Wisconsin's team this year and said, "that's how I wish we would have played in 2012-2013". Looking back, the losses that our team had that year should have never happened.. When we lost to Illinois I was like, oh they just got lucky on a last second shot. But now, I realize that Crean can't inbounds a ball or defend an inbounds play. When we lost to Butler, Nebraska, Minnesota, each time I was just convinced that good teams just happen to lose games in the B1G. But now I look back and say "man if so and so was our coach, I don't think that we would have lost those games." I see Kamisky this year and just wish we would have used Zeller the same way.. At the time Crean seemed great, but now... What an idiot.

I hate the fact that when the Pacers actually had a chance at beating the Heat a few years back, Crean spoke with D-Wade and then he went off and that was pretty much the series. Then he invites bill belicheat to come speak to the team... It's like dude, you are in the state of Indiana. Stop doing this.

Why hasn't Crean taught Perea how to set a proper screen? When Perea gets within 2-3 feet he gives up on the screen. Has this frustrated anyone else?

Wouldn't IU have all the leverage here? Because if he's fired, the level of school he would go to next would be worse than if we mutually parted ways. So it's advantageous for both parties to sit down and workout a realistic buyout... I just can't see Crean Demanding the entire 12million. Could we not negotiate it to 5?

He was #99 on espn top 100.

I don't care who the coach at IU is. I'd be calling for anyone's head if it was year 7. Not 1 final 4. We are the laughing stock of twitter/Facebook and the big 10. And we are the 4/5th best team in the state of Indiana. That alone would warrant a change of leadership.

When our players set a basic fundamental screen and.... Still waiting to hear back if we've set any good screens this year. What can I say about Tom Crean that hasn't already been said about asbestos?

How much crap can one fanbase take? It's so bad that UK, Purdue and Louisville fans legitimately feel bad for us.

I'd fire him, beg Stevens. Write a blank check.... If he says no, I'd give it to an assistant or interim and let him know that at the end of the year we are going after Stevens again. Then go back after Stevens

Go to espn and look at all top 100 recruits for 2012-2014 and look at all the in-state players who went elsewhere. Also, look at how many players we wish we would have had. That's what happened. Bad recruiting and roster management.

Then he checks twitter this morning and goes...... "Oh. My. God. No chance I would play in this progam"

We lose out and don't make the NIT, and he DOESNT get fired. I'm no longer an IU fan. Edit: I would also write probably 100+ nasty letters to anyone who was remotely responsible for that decision.

You realize that a deep run in the tournament would be a Cinderella story and not a result of having an elite level program.

How well does Crean have to do to keep his job? And conversely. How bad does the rest of the season have to go for him to get fired?

Devils advocate. If he does make it, do you think we should keep him?

Is there a way to take polls on B-Town banners? I'm interested in seeing what the percentages of users here would willingly keep Crean here one more year.
