TOM CREAN FIRED

[recker222000 1,010]

I thought I heard a spattering of boos during the Nebraska debacle and Im sure I saw some angry high end doners.lose Tue to Wisconsin and the natives will really get restless.Ive been there for a while already.If this season tanks Glass will have to take action or risk his own job.

Unless iu goes 8-10 in the conference and misses the tourney fred wont even give firing crean a thought. Last season bought him two more years at least. Those in the kow say crean is safe unless big big donors start pulling money. Thats the only way he gets fired.

Tough crowd. I just don't see 32 other at large teams better then iu right now even with the slide. No other team close to the bubble will have 2 top 5 rpi wins. With those 2 wins in my opinion iu could have a 8-10 record in the B1G and still make the tourney. Iu would have to have an epic meltdown collapse to miss the tournament with those wins. Just my opinion
If I was doing bracketology as of today I would have iu at around a 5 or 6 seed no where near the bubble just yet

Figuring it today is one thing, we have a BRUTAL B1G schedule to go through yet.  So far it hasn't started like any of us thought it would.

Do you see us having more Kansas, UNC wins in the B1G, or more WTF losses like Nebraska or IPFW?  I feel we could see more of the latter.  I'm just tired of settling with middle of the road, just good enough basketball with Crean here.

unless they go 0-18 in conference their rpi will work itself out. As of Today 8 big 10 teams are in rpi top 54, 3 others in 70-99 range, Rutgers at 114( lol u know your rpi is bad when if u beat Rutgers your rpi will go up), iu at 130 and Iowa at 145.
Plenty of opportunities in conference to make up for a pathetic non conference schedule that put iu at 130 in rpi with wins over Kansas and North Carolina.

Our RPI will improve because IU is in a decent conference, but it doesn't "make up" for the pathetic non-conference. We don't get those games back just because the conference schedule is better. No matter what, it will negatively impact IU come seeding time. The poor non-conference RPI will probably cost us a seed line or two come tourney time.

And before I get slammed with the good years, I acknowledge those, but it seems like for every one good/great year we have, we have 2/3 so-so/bad years.

B1G is down this year. There are no games in the B1G that could match those wins. You and I are not settling for anything the administration is.
Fwiw that terrible Nebraska loss as it sits today would not be considered a bad loss by the committee (Nebraska is top 50 rpi, you and I know it is a bad loss but to the people that actually matter it wouldn't

I think winning at Wisky and at Purdue would be bigger than both those wins.  I think we are arguing semantics, but I digress.

Glass will never fire crean and that is a fact.

What would Glass do if Crean turned out to be a convicted murderer?

Get this garbage outta here

Think what you want to think. I know what I know. He would need two terrible years back to back for anything to happen. Should of been fired before last season after two bad years and was not. For anything to happen it will come from above glass. So yes glass will never fire him on his own. I stand by that.

I bet you haven't talked with the people I have. You're completely wrong. 

 

BTW, it's "should have" not "should of."

Now your the spelling police. Probably not because my connections say he is very safe under glass.

My source is bigger than your source. We are still talking about sources, correct?

Two maybe three NBA first round picks.

Two McDs

Three veteran guards

A pretty well balanced roster of guards, bigs and wings. A lot of experience.

These are not the ingredients of mediocrity. Yet at this point we are once again underperforming.

Well in that case I have the biggest grammar on this entire board.

I know I'm not in charge but I would replace Crean if the right coach was willing to come to IU.

We are in no man's land IMHO. Outside of Brad Stevens (who isn't leaving Beantown anytime soon), who is the no brainer guys we can go after, land, and be 100% positive that he can sustain elite level success? Indiana and Kentucky have to be the hardest places to coach in the nation. Consider all of the different elements of pressure the coach is subjected to. You may be able to say Indiana is the most difficult when you consider the expectation to recruit our state well.
