TOM CREAN FIRED

[HoosierTrav]

Not according to the committee that year iu was the 3rd overall number 1 seed

The committee takes many things into consideration. The fact that we were sliding in February had a lot to do with it. No one in the country had the wins we had.

Will crean remain if og bryant and jbj announced they were all returning? Not likely but would that be enough for one more chance from glass?

This ain't no "Jimmy Chitwood situation."
Those three guys aren't very likely at all to state "If coach is staying, I'm playing."

I think it's safe to say JBJ will not be returning in light of CTC's recent ripping of him to the media and the supposed text back-n-forth between JBS and CTC about it.

I agree but knowing glass if they all stay he would keep his boy on hoping he had a good season next year so he could extend him.

He makes a couple decent points (especially about Yogi driving our sucess last year) but Im about sick and tired of the talking heads acting like Indiana has some kind of unreasonable fan base. They act like we are trying to fire Bill Self or something. Plug Tom Crean and his numbers in at 10 or more of the top programs in the country and he is fired. Weve been more than patient but its INSANITY to expect something different from this guy at this point.

Im sure Crean and Glass are hoping for something like this but it wont happen. We have no "savior" coming next year.

Heard from a SOLID source that this did actually happen.

If able to elaborate, was it a heated back and forth text conversation?

[HoosierTrav]

Don't have that much info. Just heard that senior was pissed. I've also heard that the players can't stand CTC.

[Hoosier Guy]

I have a hunch most of the players from Crean's 9 yrs at IU can't stand him

The day he gets fired I am writing that clown Bob Kravitz and asking him why his boy he said was so safe is gone. That guy is such a putz.

The blue chip recruits must not like coach Crean too much either since none of them wants to come to IU.

But he "discovered" Victor and D Wade -- that's gotta count for something!!!!

Well, they sure don't play very hard for him.   I can't say whether or not they like or dislike him; but I can say for sure he's lost some of them.

[Hovadipo]

Some beloved Hoosiers that speak very highly of Crean publically, can't stand him privately. College athletes, believe it or not, are very well trained in PR in many cases.

I wouldn't know why...

• He has an offense that no one can understand or grasp.
• He never takes accountability for anything that goes wrong, blames it on the players.
• He forces players into positions that are out of their comfort zone.
• He can't design an out of bounds play.
• He can't design a last second shot play.
• He makes substitutions that do not make sense.
• His game plans put the players out their as sitting ducks.
• He doesn't teach fundamental basketball (i.e. screening, help side defense, etc.).
• He always drinks Diet Coke.
• He loves his Sweet 16 Rings.

As did I.  Mom and Dad are not happy at all.

Do not expect to see JBJ next year.  His last home game is coming up.

Of course!  Well, you know by "late in the tournament" it can't be past the Sweet 16.  :)

See the problem with your sarcasm is sweet sixteen to most schools is great. It means your a top 16 school. So you argue Crean isn't top 75 then say he will be in the sweet sixteen elsewhere. Top 40 coach as I said. Is someone who makes the tourney 6-7 years out of 10 and makes a run of a game or two every now and then. Not like I said he was awesome and the best coach ever lol. The problem is IU is above that so yes I still want Crean gone like most but let's not act like he is gonna be coaching jv in high school.
