TOM CREAN FIRED

[coonhounds 8,719]

I think he should get canned now not wait till end of season but that is just me. Time to move on it is plain as day.

Tomorrow happens to be Friday and we know how much IU likes their Friday afternoon press releases.. Maybe Glass sneaks a Tom Crean termination into one.

This team gets a lot of blame too IMO.

Crean has had winners before that won despite him.

This group just plain doesn't give a .

By no means do I excuse Crean. He is at the helm of this crapfest.

just give me a coach that puts a team on the court that plays smart and dont turn the ball over. If they hustle and play smart i dont care how good they are but i am tired of athletic guys that dont have a clue and a bunch of others jacking threes and living or dying. If a team gets in a crean teams face they shut down and this is what happens

Why do people think he will get another year? He's had 9! That's enough!

Bc he got 9 in the first place.

I think the buyout will be an issue until July 1st of this year. Ideally we would like to fire him now or in April so we can get rolling with a new coach.

However, I think the injury to OG and Collin will give Glass an excuse to keep him on.

Buyout won't be an issue at all.

Buyout never was an issue. Don't really feel like explaining all of that again.

He needs to clap himself onto the next SpaceX rocket and we can FIRE him into space.

If this team misses the NCAA. He has to be gone. No excuses.

I'm consciously buying tickets to go see the Pacers take on EG and Harden Sunday, knowing it start 30 minutes before IU and I. Don't. Care. I used to religiously cancel plans to watch us, but I'll just check my phone this weekend.

Went home from IU this weekend to go to both Michigan and Northwestern games lol

[gfunk69 118]

I cannot watch this team any more. I was cautiously optimistic heading into this game. I missed the first few possessions but when I turned it on the first possession went a little like this: Newkirk brought the ball up, passed it to somebody in the corner. Literally nobody moved guy in the corner (honestly don't remember, honestly don't care) passed it back to newkirk who then passed it back to the corner and that guy passed it back to Josh who pump faked a Deep 3 (I'm a damn near, if not better better shooter than him) then there was about 10 seconds left so james came to the top of the key and got the ball then passed to I think Bryant in the corner with like 6 on the shot clock who then fumbled and lost the ball out of bounds. I then shook my head, took a deep breath in, and said "yeeeeep", shut it off and played games on my phone the rest of the game

This team has little to no heart, IQ, defense, resilience, mental toughness...the list could go on forever so I'll just stop before I become depressed

Haha ok big boss man. You must watch a lot of Dayton basketball to know so much about his coaching. Didn't know those games were televised.. 

He probably just watched his tourney games, which he won more than anyone thought he would. With a lot less talent too. If he can win without talent imagine what he could do with talent. It is a little different saying hey wanna come play at Dayton compared to hey wanna come play at IU. Lol I can't believe this argument lasted so long. Wojo had a first rounder which only Providence could claim last year in the Big East and did nothing with it.

Doesn't he play a similar run and gun style to Crean? That's what would worry me about him, is just doing this all over again. I haven't watched any of his USC games, just what I've read.

I have watched quite a few games and they are similar but their offense tends to screen more and run better set plays in half court situations. His defense is improving as well.

The worst part is, the team will inevitably bounce back at some point and Crean will start getting credited for "keeping things together" while we do just enough to sneak into the tournament. 

 

I've never seen a luckier coach, in any sport, who got more mileage out of a flash in the pan or had more escape routes than Crean. 

Add a really weak B1G schedule and playing teams at the right time last season as a lucky break for Crean.

I like winning B1G titles but IU needs to send a message to its fans and the rest of the college basketball world. Your job is not safe at Indiana because you won a B1G title and got to a Sweet 16 if you fail miserably the following season.

Make a change!
