TOM CREAN FIRED

[schoosier]

Another L in a close game. Seen enough of these in year 9 Glass?

[HoosierAloha]

I'm a bit shocked we got a shot off at the end.

[HoosierTrav]

Juwan was a little lower, but yeah. 15,20,45, 90,40,70. Or so.

Wow! That is pathetic! He needs to be gone.

[Hoosier Guy]

Closer and closer. Crean is gone either way but the Ls just make it a hell of a lot easier

I think the bump affected his momentum. Obviously they dont call a foul like that to decide a game but any other possession it is probably called.

Morgan was up top 100 up until the very last rankings came out.

I'm so tired of hearing about the injuries. There is more then enough talent on this team.

Looks like finished up as the #80 recruit w/ESPN and the #100 recruit w/ 247..... so many coaches get more out of far less......this just pisses me off more when I hear these clueless media talking heads talk about OG's injury. They provide zero context and have no pulse on our program.

The announcers were milking the injuries hard tonight. We're down one guy from the start of the season. OG was a good player for us, but he wasn't THAT good. They've been talking him up big time since he went down. 

[GloryDays]

My head wanted to lose, my heart wanted to win soooo bad.

FIRE HIM! This is embarrassing

Very conflicting emotions being a fan now.If we win we probably lose in the long haul.Lose and it still sucks.Kind of schizophrenic.

Oh this made me chuckle a bit

6 losses out of the last 7 games. We've surpassed Mike Davis futility now. This is embarrassing.

FIRE HIM! This is embarrassing

With only two games against ranked teams. L.O.L.

There are few better people in college basketball than Tom Crean and he has an unbelievable work-ethic. No one can doubt either of those things. He truly cares about his players, the university and its fans, and has given his all for the program. He has done an amazing job bringing academics back as a focus of Indiana basketball, and his player development work has been among the best in the nation. But on the court his teams too often look lost and out of touch with one another. Developing on-court leadership and chemistry has been an issue for years and has kept several of his most talented teams from succeeding. Crean has done great things at Indiana and he was the right person to bring the program back from the depths. But now it’s clearly time for a new vision.

 

While it will depress some Indiana fans,Brad Stevens is almost certainly not leaving the Boston Celtics, but rumors suggest Donovan might be looking to head back to college. He went to Oklahoma City for the opportunity to coach Kevin Durant andRussell Westbrook, and one of those guys is gone now. With Westbrook dominating the ball, any semblance of an offensive system has gone out the window and despite his dominant statistics, the Thunder currently sit in seventh place in the Western Conference. While the San Antonio Spurs and Golden State Warriors exist in their current forms, the Thunder have no shot at playing for a championship. Donovan has to be keenly aware of that fact.

 

Money would be a big issue in any pursuit of Donovan. He’s currently making $6 million a year with the Thunder, which means Indiana would have to rely heavily on booster assistance to pony up the extra cash. Crean’s buyout is currently at a manageable $4 million, but if the Hoosiers wanted to chase an elite coach like Donovan, they’d need help. Indiana’s contract with Adidas is currently the 13th richest apparel deal in the NCAA, so there are dollars there, but not enough. The school’s deep-pocketed boosters would need to step up to land a guy like Donovan.

 

Make no mistake, getting someone like Donovan will not be easy. But Indiana is one of the best brands in college basketball, the state is a fertile recruiting ground and the fan base is desperate to embrace a winner. And Donovan is a winner. His resume boasts two national titles, four Final Four trips, seven Elite Eights, and six SEC championships during his 19 seasons at Florida. After his first two rebuilding years, Donovan’s Gators only missed the NCAA Tournament three times in 17 campaigns, and they won 20 or more games in 16 of those 17 seasons. That’s while coaching at a football-first school with average facilities in Gainesville, Florida, which is far from an exciting destination. - Thebiglead.com

It's the injuries....didn't you know?

[Feathery]

Woot woot. Go gophers!!! I almost didn't think they were going to do it. Minnesota is not a good team!! Now its time for the Hawks to defend their home court!! 

Bye bye Tom. If IU misses the NIT, that will be twice in 4 years. All those supports claiming Crean is great bc he won 2 Big Ten conference titles in 4 years can chew on that stat for awhile.

 

[KingPG21]

Just curious..... what rumors? I know a lot on here have talked about him, but is there some source out there or something like that. We (IU fans) speculate a ton, and that is an understatement.

Who is the investigative firm that Glass used to push Kevin Wilson out? Do they need a new mark? We need a team to research what Tom Crean did to high level basketball. Maybe they can chase him to Ohio State too.

FIRE HIM! This is embarrassing

A potential lawsuit against IU is what forced Kevin Wilson out.
