TOM CREAN FIRED

Didn't watch, was at a bday gathering. Not even upset, if anything I'll thank Purdue for putting a nail in Creans coffin

IU now 0-8 vs. top 50 teams since the end of November.  But we sure licked those cream puffs early on.

CBI here we come! Hopefully IPFW isn't invited too.

I know we have injuries on this team, but I think one mark of a good coach would be to get lesser caliber players to effectively run your system or to even adapt your system. Chucking up quick 3s is not a system. Sure, you can get by with it high level players that can make shots but this team was lost in the 2nd half tonight. That's all on the coach

Yeah I'm happy we r a step closer to a new coach but damn, I'm tired of being embarrassed.  So hard to not root for a school I love so much.  I'm just ready for all this to be over.

He's been dodging getting fired for 4 years now

Just saw a U haul outside of assembly hall being packed up with cases and cases of Diet Coke and boxes full of flash cards with pictures of bunnies on them.....

Double win today. Crean is close to getting fired, Painter is going to stay.

FIRE HIM! This is embarrassing

[IUHAHN81 2,176]

I'm not even gonna hate on Crean.  Obviously he only knows so much and is doing the best HE can.  Even though we all know it's not enough.  Not doubting he is trying his best.  I'm more upset with Glass for not wanting better for this school and keeping him around.

While a lot of IU followers will tolerate losses they won't tolerate losses to PUke especially in Assembly Hall.  No doubt in my mind the fire under CTC got incredibly hotter tonight.

[ctown2grhoosier 380]

Swanigan had 4 fouls with about 5 left in the game and Crean never tried to challenge him in the post. I'm serious he's the worst Xs and Os coach in college basketball. TOs, no defense, low ball IQs. Same crap different game. Fred please u have to stop this. For the love of us diehards sanity, you've got to end this.

That was probably the final straw. I would honestly be shocked if it wasn't. He had his chance.

Injuries are moot point considering 1.) We were tanking before the injuries. 2.) We still have more talent on the roster than the teams we are getting creamed by, even with the injuries.

Only brighter days ahead of us folks

Tom Crean has to be a dead man walking. No guaranteed wins the rest of the way.

I don't need a home run hire. I would give Fort Wayne's coach a chance before I would let Crean get another year. I can't think of another comparison where a school gave more time and lower expectations then IU and Tom Crean.

Totally agree. We're still more talented with injuries than a Penn St that it shouldn't take a miracle 3 at the buzzer and a triple OT to beat. A good coach would do more with less.

I have us winning 2 of our last 5 games.... what a pathetic coaching job. He, like Mike Davis, has no business coaching at an elite program.
