TOM CREAN FIRED

[Brass Cannon]

Has Tom Crean been treated respectfully?

We're a know it all fanbase who doesn't trust those in power to do their job. I can't count the number of times someone has said the players, coaches, AD, President, or all of the above should hit the road because they don't know what they're doing.

 

He got plenty of respect until that syracuse debacle that was when people started realizing that Sweet Sixteen was his ceiling and thus not good enough.

I'm just gonna hang out here and meet everyone after the game. #FireTomCrean

If our fans were clever, Tom Crean would arrive home to find his lawn filled with "For Sale" signs.

[SteelerHoosier]

Please tell me that no one is surprised by this.....even if you were being optimistic you knew deep down this is how the night was going to go

I hope that every one of our fans is smarter/classier than that. I realize it only takes one idiot, but this guy is losing basketball games. His family shouldn't feel threatened because of it. 

[WayneFleekHoosier]

Waiting for the next set of excuses. We were supposed to be good this year. I honestly feel bad for these players most of all. Idk. Just sad. Again.

You feel bad for the players? They're the ones playing!?

Wait. Aren't I in the thread full of people saying the high school chants were fine?

Feel bad for their opportunity to play at Indiana and receive a free degree? Players gotta want to win. Haven't seen it tonight.

Yeah, but, is every single player recruited totally unable to intellectually handle defense or is something happening to these kids to make them so... garbage?

they are handicapped by their coach

there is something mentally wrong with this team

[ThompsonHoosier]

No improvement whatsoever. I can't watch anymore; I might catch a game here and there but I'm done planning other things around IU games.

They really do just seem like they lack confidence in themselves. It's sad to watch, because they are all extremely talented.

I almost feel like something is happening we don't know about. I don't know but something don't look right

[Walking Boot of Doom]

We were legitimately better last year. I really don't know how that works.

[HoosierAloha]

I feel bad for the program.  We have a coach who can't win consistently and players who look like they couldn't care less if they're flat out embarrassed on the court.  Heck off the court with some.

[Alford Bailey]

they are handicapped by their coach

BOOM!

[MikeRoberts]

Any good coach could get 25 wins out of this team; Crean won't sniff that and for that I feel bad for the kids. They are being led by someone that has no business being the leader of Indiana basketball

But but but.....Tom Cream doesn't defend or shoot the ball....blah blah blah

I want to thank Coach K for having his Dukies give Tommy boy a complete beat down and showing all of America what a fraud Tom Crean is. There is no way he should be coaching a historically elite program. The only way this program gets back to competing with top teams is under new leadership. Time to move on and pull out the $$$ to get a real coach.
