Now that's a very pleasing sound because it strongly suggests to me that Glass isn't accepting mediocrity for the long haul. Napleshoosier, southsidehoosier, FortWayneHoosier and 1 other 4 Quote
Trish Posted January 29, 2017 Posted January 29, 2017 Well he said he love Indiana. He grew up in Indiana and an Indiana fan. He knows the fan base can't be happy with all this and I'm sure he's not happy to see all this. I'm starting to think Glass may not be such a Crean fanboy as I once thought.

WayneFleekHoosier Posted January 29, 2017 Posted January 29, 2017 That's my concern. Who is next that will realistically reunite the fanbase? It's no easy task. But another year of Crean will do more damage to a lot of the fanbase.Gotta find that guy... Most seem happy with Holtman but IDK. Not going to get me too excited. Stevens I'd love, but don't think he wants to deal with recruiting. Heck, I will be hard to please because I'm not excited about the realistic options much.

Lol Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app I doubt that either Glass or Crean see much of the email/snail mail that comes their way. They have people to screen it, shred it and send out canned responses. I've written 4 or 5 times over the past 3 years... and the e-mails that I've gotten in response are pretty much the same form letter. They may have several versions, but the message is the same: "Thank you for your email regarding Tom Crean and the Indiana University men’s basketball program. Please know that I read all of my emails, including yours, and I take all comments that I receive very seriously. I appreciate you taking the time to write." Blah, blah, blah. Turn up the heat.

Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners Wouldn't be easy, of course, but Billy Donovan would be excellent. I think losing Durant a year ago and potentially losing Westbrook next year could at least get him to strongly consider it. ALASKA HOOSIER 1 Quote

Kids on the fence of transfer would have to because summer sessions start mid May. We lose out on April recruiting and grad transfers. I think in this scenario we scrap next year.Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app ALASKA HOOSIER 1 Quote

Brass Cannon Posted January 29, 2017 Posted January 29, 2017 I'm not convinced we will suck next year with a good coach. the pieces are there just not the leader. Hoosier Guy and ALASKA HOOSIER 2 Quote

I agree. IU has good players that are not being given the proper coaching. They play dumb at times but that is also a reflection of the coaching staff. How a team plays is usually a reflection of the coaching staff ALASKA HOOSIER and HoosierAloha 2 Quote
schoosier Posted January 29, 2017 Posted January 29, 2017 Glass had the perfect opportunity to let Crean go when we had all the arrests. He was too busy discussing Crean's X's and O's and his fandom for Crean is obvious. These examples combined with his signing off on the worst contract extension in IU history shows he will never get us back to a national title. They both need to go. ALASKA HOOSIER 1 Quote

Claim the year didn't count because he was short handed.Sent from my SM-J700T using Tapatalk ALASKA HOOSIER 1 Quote
