It's coming alright. When this season ends, so does Crean's tenure as IU HC

Do we really have to wait that long?

After some of his comments after his most recent bed wetting I don't really have anything good to say about Crean.  He doesn't even deserve to finish the mess he started, let alone a mutual parting.  He's an overrated recruiter, a mediocre coach on his very best day otherwise varying levels of bad, and when the going gets tough he'll do anything to avoid looking in the mirror; the captain is supposed to go down with the ship but this one would probably be the first on a lifeboat.

His recruiting is very overrated. Too many times he has players that have no business playing in power conference basketball. He's not a good Xs and Os or situational coach at all. He doesn't take accountability and is always quick to blame the players. And the worst part about all of this is he's being paid $3.1M to suck at his job. He's robbing IU. He doesn't care if they win so long as he makes his dough. This season is lost no matter what so might as well have him live through the rest of this nightmare. And yes Fred should fire him. We've heard the rumors before about him not being a nice guy at all. He's starting to show it in the public eye now. And players see through his crap and don't want to play for him anymore. Maybe the players are in on the tank as well. His ass is gone and it will be long overdue. I've wanted him gone since the Syracuse debacle. That wasn't gonna be realistic at the time but I saw through his crap. The two seasons after is when he should've been fired. So it's like 2 or 3 years overdue. It's gonna end though my man. I have no doubt of it now. It is inevitable

As I've said before, I've heard that he's an ***hole on more than one occasion.  Coincidentally, once I even heard 'not a nice guy at all'.

Yep I've seen that too. Remember when Noah Vonleh sat out to protect his draft stock? That wasn't just for that reason. He hated Crean and just got fed up playing for him

Billy Donovan makes $6 million per year. Are we willing to play in that ballpark?

FIRE HIM! This is embarrassing
 

Dang it, I did not know that.

For some reason I thought OKC got him for cheap.  He just moved down the "likelihood' list, as I really doubt we're going to go higher than that.

He'd have to REALLY want to return to college if we couldn't increase his salary.

One of my most favorite moments was when CTC blocked me on Twitter because I was being "overly critical" (like that's even a 'thing'). And since he's no longer on Twitter, I guess I am one of the few, the proud... :D

Lol. A random Mizzou fan tweeted Tom Crean saying Mizzou would gladly welcome him.

If so, BTB thread glory to Alaska!

Let's make it happen.

I'm trying to get the Missouri fan base behind hiring him and maybe it is finally taking root thru my Missouri friends. Somebody has to do something to flush this turd of a coach. And yes, I did say Missouri U friends..... I only have them due to diversity so don't hate.

During the game today I kept thinking "I would not be surprised if Crean resigns tomorrow morning"...such an awful pitiful performance, he's lost this team, he needs to move on.




We could only wish. Crean is too proud of his coaching ability, he won't resign on his own. Glass will call for a presser after the Big Tourney and that will be him "resigning"

I went over to 247 earlier and hadn't seen any recent posts from HTD.  Is it possible it's reached the point that not even he can come up with some BS excuse to defend the guy?


It sounds like he has moved and doesn't have Internet at his new location and can only post when he takes the bus to the nearest public library to log on and post. Which means he could be back at some point I guess but the site is at least bearable now without him and there are some informed posters there.

Well, he's proud of riding the coat tails of Dwyane Wade making it look like he has coaching ability.  Without Wade he's not making 3 mil/year at IU right now.
