Hahaha, it sounds so horrible to say doesn't it?...but yes

Yep, that's where I've been seeing chatter of his return as well. I am however going to assume and hope its all personal opinion because as far as the Missouri talk and who we may be getting as our next coach is pretty much nonexistent on that site as if they are unaware of all that stuff.

There are a handful of people on the Inside The Hall site who think that Crean will be back next year. They think Glass will use the injury card for this season and that last night's win sealed the deal to Crean returning. I am not one of those people..

Exactly! So Crean happens to put a run together in the BTT to get us to sneak in and he's all of a sudden a great coach to need to keep around longer? Our players just happened to be hot from the 3 point line last night. We all know that when those shots aren't falling our true flaws shine through and it has haunted us all season long. Let's say tonight we shoot 70% from 3 and win the game. Is it gonna be because he somehow figured out how to be a great coach and we can think "oh wow, from now on he's gonna make IU really good!!"? No...it's gonna be because we happened to hit a bunch of shots again. I hope Glass can realize this. I have nothing against Crean as a person and appreciate the mess he got us out of, but the only way he APPEARS to be a good coach is if most of our shots are falling, and that in itself has nothing to do with him at all. You have a night where we are cold from the 3 point line and he has no plan B. Just in case Glass can't see this, I kind of hope Wisconsin beats us so that there is no doubt in changing the mind of Glass and we can move on with any announcement that may be around the corner. On one hand being a true IU fan, I hate seeing them lose and want the players to win, but at the same time if them winning puts us in jeopardy to experience more mediocrity in the future then no thanks.

Right, I agree...whether the BTT end for us tonight or a couple games in the tournament later, I hope we get an answer after the BTT is over for us, but before the NIT. Then at least we all know and not wait until after the NIT. Like you said, then we get a home game to just root on the players and hope they do well themselves without wondering if anything they do will result in a coaching decision.

Just for the sake of not wanting to have to wait any longer to see what happens and who we end up getting as a replacement, I'd say let's hope so. Other than that, if we for sure know Crean is gone and if he himself knows he is gone, I'd like to see the players win some games. If we know that Crean winning the tournament won't buy him another year then heck..

I saw...very interesting. No Tom Crean basketball camp listed as happening. Definitely had one last year.

All I know is, refreshing this thread every 5 minutes for the past week sure has made these days leading up to the BTT seem to take forever!! I just wanna know what happens and who we get as a coach already!! Lol

There was talk on another site that there was supposed to be a meeting this week with IU and Donovan's representative, which led to a lot of people wondering how that would end up going if it indeed did happen. Then someone, can't remember who, posted that the meeting happened and that Donovan was a "no go". Today however, we saw a Mile from a different site say "0708 wanted to pass this along: "tho talks did not go well on Tuesday, there is still interest on the part of the Donovan camp."....so I mean there are different people who are debating on whether that meeting even existed to begin with, but if it indeed did, that is what was said about it.

I believe Tuesday was supposedly the day that IU and Donovan's agent had a meeting together, so they are saying that even though that meeting didn't completely go as planned (if it indeed happened), the Donovan camp is still interested. Not COMPLETELY certain on that, but from what I have read in the past about that, it's what I took away from it.
