Me too. Normally something like that wouldn't bc our AD wouldn't base the future of our program on a single four star recruit, right? Knowing Glass, he's probably writing up the extension as we speak just to lock in a 4 star recruit.

Nah, they'd probably guess the Baltimore Ravens

Georgia Tech is 2-10 on the road. One of those losses to Penn State. Our genius AD voluntarily opts to play them in Atlanta. Clearly winning is not the #1 priority here for Freddy. Why even accept the bid, Fred?

Not a single word about Crean. Kent then went on to praise himself for not asking the question.

Not to mention money loss from concessions, merchandise, etc. Just a stupid decision.

self-proclaimed "insiders" telling each other to PM each other. "a lot starting to happen"

premium content. In any case, I've learned to take anyones "inside info" with a grain of salt. I'll believe something when it actually happens.

What a boob - he knew exactly what he was doing by placing that GIF out there

Nah, there are plenty: Bruce Weber Bruce Pearl Mark Few Buzz Williams Mick Cronin Scott Drew

Wow. I am amazed at our AD. If the rumors are true, he needs to be fired NOW. Not hosting an NIT game bc students are gone - are you serious? Most schools invited are in the same position. Fred, do you have any idea how weak and stupid this makes IU look? Allowing Crean to decide his own fate - I simply can't believe this one. It's just unbelievable. I really didn't want to think Fred was this weak and incompetent and again, these are just the rumors but man, if they're true.....yikes.

Didn't say I was gonna stay and watch the game. Just boo our old friend Kelvin, maybe grab a hot dog, head over to Nicks and watch there.

Would make the drive down to Bloomington for that one just to boo Sampson

Great post. My thoughts exactly.

NIT SELECTION SHOW - 8:30PM EST, ESPNU - WOOOOT WOOOOT :)

We've beaten 2 projected #1 seeds, were ranked #3 in the country. Since then, IU has paid Tom Crean about $886k - time for an NIT party

Glass' silence says it all for me. If he were going to keep him, he would've said so by now. My guess is he's waiting/trying to get his guy before any announcement is made.

touché sir

If IU is in position to win a a title, Tom Crean most likely won't be the coach - he's proven he isn't the guy to get us there. Simply sitting back and letting the admin hold our program back is not the attitude of a winning basketball program. When they aren't serving the program well, they need to know about it. Without the passion of our fans, we're just another college basketball team. For me, that's the worse thing that could happen and I hate to say it but it's already happening on the national scene (most don't consider us elite). I respect your decision to keep cheering but maybe you should ask yourself if you have a breaking point? If not, then mediocrity seems to be ok with you.

Be honest, are you the guy that yelled at Crean after the Wisconsin game? I see a lot of Maryland in your avatar!

If this is true, and granted we don't know the context of this (could be as simple as he told Crean to find a new job otherwise we're gonna replace you), this is a clear indication that our AD is weak or unwilling to look past his friendship with Crean. Either way, it isn't good for our program(s). The letters and emails need to start going to McRobbie now instead of Glass. If Crean is retained, Glass has proven he's incompetent and an email/letter to him won't do a damn thing. Time to go higher up the chain.

I don't think I'll watch if he's back but I applaud you for thinking positive. Crean needs to be fired because he clearly isn't the long-term answer. One recruit won't change that. If Crean is extended, the mood surrounding IU basketball will be crushed to an even greater low. Zero momentum with nothing to look forward to.

One recruit will not save Crean's job If it does - our AD is truly clueless and a sucker.

Maybe Mizzou saw him coach

Absolutely not.
