Bonani jones who works for espn, said on twitter that tom crean should be fired.

This thing is gonna be a national thing. I'd be surprised if it's not all over the networks this week.

At least some of the national media is coming around. I'm so tired of seeing national media members who are friends, or at least have a good relationship with Crean coming out and trying to call out the fan base for not blindly supporting the guy. I'm almost at the point I don't care what the media thinks of us as a fan base, we're pissed and there is a reason why

I really wish JBJ would have missed that 3 against PSU and didn't hit those shots to finish off KU along with much more and RoJo didn't blow up in the first half of the UNC game. Seems like Thomas Bryant is the only kid he likes and by his on court behavior at times it makes sense where TB gets the crying from lol. These kids didn't sign up for this and as immature as he thinks they are...name one 18-22 year old that isn't!!! I will wait because there aren't any. You mold kids to your personality and obviously some don't work, but kids like JBJ who may be a bad defender has been around the game his whole life and has a father who is well respected. RoJo comes from a very humble family as well. It isn't their fault they no one to guide them. Hell even Cal who is famous for saying you don't just recruit a kid for basketball you recruit them for life. Crean is a coward to throw this on them. JN never told the media he single handedly helped make the team B1G champs by his practices and all the hype he put out of him. That was Crean. Yes kids need held accountable, but a grown adult needs to be held MORE accountable. I applaud DG for his tweet too. I hope more players specifically JBJ, RoJo and JN become more vocal tomorrow after Creans comments. If he can call them out they should be able to too. Show him just how immature they really are!!

No way of telling whether Green's tweet was about Crean, but he has to know that's what people are going to think when he tweets something like that a few hours after his coach calls his team the most immature he's ever coached. My guess is that it's one of those "no of course it's not about him" *winks* subtweets. I'd put money down on one of him and Crean not being back next year.

Crean DID have a replacement for Yogi... still does. Josh Newkirk IS his guy. He got him from Pittsburgh, coached him through his "sit out" year, talked him up like he was the 2nd coming... and this is what we get. So Crean has his Yogi replacement, it's just that, well, Newkirk, is NOT a Yogi prospect, despite the great recruiter's opinion.

Translation:  he had a replacement, it just happened to be a bad one.

BTW heard from a very reliable source who helps with practices at Marion that James Sr and Crean got into it over text tonight. James Sr saw Creans comments and threw his phone against the wall.

As he should. I'm am 100 percent for a coach being tough on kids but what Crean did was way over the line and to the press to boot. 

Crap like this is why we lost Wilkes

I completely agree. I just can't see how any coach would expect teenagers to not be immature. It is even worse in the NBA, so good thing Crean hasn't made a bench in the league or a player wouldn't take that. This isn't the first bad year and it isn't the first bad defensive team or turnover team he has had. Difference now is he knows he actually may get fired so he finds yet another excuse.

I don't care if his job is/was on the line... it's pure bush league theatrics.
