TOM CREAN FIRED

[HoosierCoop 3,885]

Regarding the rest of the season with this team, my glass is only an 1/8 of the way full.

Enough to wet your whistle but not enough to quench my thirst.

5fouls said... (original post)

Brad Stevens has to be the first call and he has to be offered a good enough package to make him think about it.

He's on the list

What does it say?

Maybe it's not showing up on mobile app: 5fouls asks if Brad Stevens will be the first call from trustees, and the connected to big boosters/trustees poster responds "he's (Stevens is) on the list (that will be called first)."

Good to know that a connected guy does not think that Stevens has pro-actively precluded himself from the conversation.

^^This^^

The team has enough to win at least four or five more games, including a couple on the road. If we continue on the path we're on; signs of life followed by regular disappointment, that will more than suffice.

 

Penn State, Michigan and Northwestern at home should be wins, maybe Purdue as well. Northwestern, Iowa and Ohio State are all winnable on the road. The problem is that those games are all just as loseable too. There's no way to know which IU team will show up and I don't think that fact is lost on Fred Glass. Purdue and Wisconsin on the road could get ugly. I'm worried Swanigan will hang a 20/20 game on TB.

I think we'll lose 3 of our next 4.  Other than PSU, NW, and Mich at home and stealing 1 on the road, I see us finishing 8-10 or best case 9-9 in conference.  That should not be acceptable.

If there is even 1/100th of a percent to get a Brad Stevens.  You go after him.  If he will let IU pitch, Glass better be a damn good salesman.  Glass better also be taking Stevens wife out to lunch today.

It is quite impossible to predict. 

However, it being late January, another "turnaround miracle" season not happening is all but certain. In fact, the overwhelming odds that turnarounds like that don't happen is a big part of why last season's turnaround was so enjoyable. 

Given the long odds of this season being anything other than an unpredictable, disappointing mess, the only predictable event that I see is that we are not going to turn around this season.

I would think the end is near.

Three PR embarrassments so far with the loss to Ft Wayne, the Devonte Greene incident all over ESPN and now a 30 point beat down by an average Michigan team. Gotta think this stuff starts adding up. And, you know Northwestern smells blood for Sunday. Surely Glass will be forced to make the change.

What was the "Devonte Greene (sic) incident"?

[ALASKA HOOSIER 11,254]

I think everyone on this board should send an email to Stevens today. I know I will

And to glass...even though he will send me that damned auto response again.

This is correct and exactly what's going to happen with Crean when the time comes. He will not be "fired".

Well then, fire him, don't fire him... I don't really care... just make him go away.

Perhaps... but in mid-November, Nebraska at home was also a "should be win".

Crean running onto the court and screaming at Green like a madman for trying to throw an oop to McSwain in the closing seconds of the Rutgers game.

I am tired of my team needing a "turnaround miracle" nearly every season... how many times can TC catch the proverbial lightning in a bottle?

[weaverswonders6 388]

How ugly does this thing get if, and likely a BIG if, CTC does return next year?

Lighting is hard to catch. Not this year.
