TOM CREAN FIRED

[KelleyHoosh 2,263]

You guys are doing good so far, but reminder of no name calling please...

[Whoozhers 3,729]

That was the worst drawn up play equal to the Colts punt debacle.
I tell you folks.... The tenor of the game was set when JBJ got the ball stolen from behind in the first half. NO other team allows that to happen. It's 2014/2015 all over again. I wouldn't chant Crean sucks at his son/daughter's high school game. But, I sure as hell will say it here.... CREAN SUCKS!
Stop the BS at IU and Go get BS.... Brad Stevens!!

I've come to grips that Crean will be the head basketball coach at IU until his contract ends lol

[WayneFleekHoosier 48,847]

The excuses will be in full force until this season collapses. I had hopes again that wouldn't happen but now I'm not so sure. I can guarantee we lost all respect with the national media after that performance and lack of D.

Everything is players and recruits. I do not want to return to 08. The off season waz the time.

How so. We have turned this roster over so many times that the only constant is the coach. Not the players fault every time.

Wouldn't be even close to 08 in my opinion. There are no bans or punishments being handed out:

More like as long as Glass is here.

It was fun while it lasted!

I told my dad this morning that we would get beat. It is just what I have came to expect.

Players would've still left.  The fear of players leaving is how we ended up with Davis, have we not learned anything from that experiment?

I'm fine with the Fire Tom Crean Thread because I want him gone just as much if not more than everyone else around here. But let's not start a bunch of new threads when there is old ones already made about the same subject.

[LIHoosier 26,705]

This was brought up in the post game thread, but Crean skipped the post game with Fisch and threw Buckley or Martin in there.

If Cool Dad had any gumption(not likely), he'd fine Crean for skipping a media obligation. He's a lawyer, I'm sure there's a line or two about that in the contract somewhere.

Ridiculous

He was busy looking for the posterior cooling cream.

I am not a CTC supporter. But, you cannot fire him now. By all reports the players love him. You risk losing everything.

They love him, just apparently not enough to play hard for him. Or to tell him how stupid it is to throw a hail mary with 3 seconds left. They must enjoy not having to play hard and losing to subpar teams.

[HoosierAloha 30,077]

Of course they love him, they can do whatever they want in the offseason and get away with it.  They can shoot any shot they want, they can make terrible players, they can stand around on defense and nothing happens. 

[SteelerHoosier 2,586]

The worst part is you know that we will steal a couple of impressive wins in the Hall season that people will hang their hats on to support keeping him at IU.......like every season

[IUHoosier5 1,798]

I would love Tom Crean too if I didn't have to play a lick of defense and still get plenty of playing time in hopes that I turn it on offensively. If I'm a scorer and don't like playing defense, Indiana seems like a top destination to me
