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.

I'll always hate this argument. It may be the players, but these are the players HE recruited. It's not like there is a GM that gets him the players and it's only his job to get the best out of them. It's his decision whether or not to sign them to begin with.

I've been watching Crean on the sidelines. He hasn't clapped or acted like his usual self (other than walking back and forth). Maybe the diet Coke hasn't kicked in yet.

I suppose at this point he is as reliable as anyone else

What ever happened to him?

Yeah, PSU was definitely one of them. Were the games against Minny, Wisky, and Michigan that same season? That is probably what I am thinking about. I remember never feeling safe no matter how large the lead was because I just knew we couldn't hold onto a lead. So frustrating...

Can anyone remember which games, I believe it was during the Vonleh season, where we blew like 3-4 games, nearly in a row, at the very end of regulation? It was so ridiculous.

Same here. The first two years I gave him a pass for the most part. When we regressed in year 3 I started to wonder. Then things went great for 2 seasons. The year of Vonleh is when I started having my first major concerns because we should have been much better. Last season I was all but done with him after the Duke game, then of course they completely reversed course, so I let it go. This year was definitely make or break year in my eyes (not that I would have been surprised to see him go earlier). If this team didn't accomplish a great season followed up by a deep tourney run, I was definitely on the train.

Prayers for all.

Me too. Those guys are mediocre and sketchy IMO. Crean is mediocre, but he's not sketchy.

Is that just for this season, or over his whole time at Virginia? This year they have definitely had issues, but I don't think that has been the case every season (I might be wrong).
