Buzz in college hoops--- Wonder if Crean takes a soft landing job... #Iubb

I could see this.  I doubt a straight firing occurs, but wouldn't be surprised by a mutual parting of the ways.

I say they "mutually part" right now. Let the interim finish the season. F*** it. This team ain't making the tourney anyways. Start the search publicly tonight.

Isn't one of their writers really supportive of Crean? Pretty sure one of them is one of the worst out there when it comes to making excuses for the guy

It definitely seems like one of them is. I don't read much of their stuff but I always check out their Twitter during games like today for a few good laughs. I get not wanting to be too critical to keep access or whatever, but at this point I don't think anyone is buying what they're putting out.

Well that about answers the question for me.

Once the national guys start picking up info, usually there's smoke to the fire.  Up until now, all the chatter has pretty much on the message boards.  But between this and the Metcalf story today, I'd say the writing is on the wall.

For all of the injury talk, just remember 4 of our 5 starters from Kansas are still playing.

Great point. Also be prepared for the really young defense yet we also have 3 jr guards. I know 2 have started since freshman here and Josh played a lot at Pitt.

We are not really young

This is what we have become in the national landscape lol

They don't have access though lol. It's just like 3-4 guys tweeting and blogging from home as far as I know. They really mean the things they tweet.

Blame the players, Crean. That seems like the smart thing to do.

Yup. You're right Tom. Completely right. Let's not take the blame. Let's just throw a bunch of 18-21 year olds to the wolves lol.

Never that is one of the things that has always mad me the most upset with him.

[bigrod 2,871]

Tom's in his presser blaming the players, but taking "full responsibility" like he always does.

I hate Tom Crean. There. Unfiltered truth. Not as great a guy as some make him seem.

[LIHoosier 26,425]

Says the guys who shirks the post game with Fisch after most losses.

[indy317219 97]

In fairness- he isn't wrong. He is choosing to exclude himself in the equation, which is self serving.

[SteelerHoosier 2,586]

Link to the Metcalf story?

Oh wow lmao, they actually are delusional then. I thought at this point the only people left on his side were the ones who need to stay in the program's good graces.

Reporter: Do you believe that the players are a reflection of the coaching they receive in said adversity?
