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.

My son asked me during the Purdue game if we could cheer for another team that is good( if only it was that easy). He is pretty good on his mini iPad. Maybe I should check it.

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 Feathery and Defenserocks28 2 Quote

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. Quote

ALASKA HOOSIER Posted February 13, 2017 Posted February 13, 2017 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. Sent from my iPad using BtownBannersI'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.Sent from my SM-G920V using BtownBanners mobile app hsrtxp, HoosierAloha and Hoosier_roots 3 Quote

CrossboneIU22 Posted February 13, 2017 Posted February 13, 2017 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. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners 8bucks 1 Quote

Without Wade he's not making 3 mil/year at IU right now. Trish 1 Quote
