I would be shocked if we took him, unless there is a reason we don't know about yet involving the current guys.

I think it's all a juggling act until he knows for certain what OG, TB, and JB are doing. If he loses all 3, then he takes the three recruits if he can. If all or some come back then he'll have to decide whether he wants the recruits(assuming they all want to still come) or if a few current guys need to "transfer." Until he knows for sure, he will try to keep all options on the table.

Yeah, I tried that with my last girlfriend. That didn't work out to well.

It's really hard to say what the emoji's mean. If I'm being optimistic, then the eye's say "you've got my attention" and the rocket says "we are about to blast/take off as a team because of this coach." If I'm being pessimistic, then the eye's say "Oh, sh*t, this guy's crazy if he thinks I'm going to work hard" and the rocket says "I'm about to blast off as far away from this situation as possible." I'm thinking it's the optimistic option, but who knows.

I guess the question for me with JBJ is would he do what Archie wants him to do? If it's true he had tuned Crean out, it seems he could easily do the same with another coach. Especially one that JBJ didn't choose to play for on his own. I'm kinda hoping JBJ will move on myself because if it's true he is a "bad apple" I don't want him interfering with what Archie will be trying to do. It's possible he may actually click with Archie and do what is asked of him, but what I do know is that the 15-16 team seemed to play much better without him in the lineup.

According to his bio he is from NY.

0708 said he said he was hearing the same thing as hickoyhoosier I believe, but at this point who the heck knows.

Also, doesn't the NCAA frown upon universities making big announcements during the tournament as it draws attention away from the tournament itself?

Margot laying next to me would be alright. However....Margot doing some other things with me....now we're talking!

I can see it both ways. If Fred gives him his "vote of confidence" tomorrow or Tuesday, then it might make sense to shield him from any negative backlash of the announcement. On the other hand, if he is indeed gone, then not having to have him coach anymore at home would also shield him from anymore booing for his last games as Hoosier coach. It's hard telling IMO.

You know, this makes a lot of sense. I'm just grasping for anything to bring me hope, but maybe Fred's just waiting for it to be official that we are out of the NCAA tourney.

He better be gone from IU either way.

Weird. It does sound like the IU/Michigan thing. What beef does a Maryland fan have with Crean?

Just go back and read the last 200 pages. That should catch you up ;-).

Whoa...you're absolutely right!! Tony Bennett is V!

Yep, it was March 5th: http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/12426084/tom-crean-indiana-hoosiers-gets-vote-confidence-ad-fred-glass

Someone posted that if a coaching change is made then we can get out of the contract. I personally have no idea.

Congrats!

Or maybe they are tired of him perpetually whining at every single call.

Kelvin Sampson and Devin Davis probably won't, but they are certainly closer than we are.

Maybe the Janitor picked him up in an Uber ride.

It will regenerate...no worries.

Unless it's a smokescreen for, dare I say....Stevens. Don't crush my dreams lol.

Both.
