I defy any poster on this board to give one piece of discernable evidence that implies that Tom Crean will be the IUBB coach next year. Vote of confidence? Recruit that is still hearing from him? Reporter that as of today is hearing CTC is staying? Vote of confidence from anyone officially associated with IU?

Anyone? Anything?

Lmao anyone that initially supported him over the last 5 years over analyzes things? Lmfao, oh shit I think I woke up the office on that one.

 

Edit: The funniest thing is this in response to a question about Crean looking at a piece of paper with what was originally said. Oh man I am actually crying from laughing. That was awesome!

At least we can count on not winning the B1G tourney. That could probably save his job, but we know for a fact we won't win it. It's Indiana they say!

 

I'm still a little worried Glass will keep him. 

If the booster money really is starting to dry up then I think it'll be easy for Glass to cut him loose.

Kent Sterling article talked about the struggles with Indiana high school recruiting.  This is something I have believed for some time now. 

Quote

Since 2009, the State of Indiana has produced 20 top 30 recruits, as ranked by ESPN.  Indiana has signed three – Yogi Ferrell, Cody Zeller, and James Blackmon, Jr.  Some, like Mason Plumlee, were earmarked for Duke or another obvious destination, and nothing Crean could do would have stopped that.

The upcoming class is the most troubling though.  Four top 30 players in the 2017 class call Indiana home, and none will play for the glory of ol’ IU.  Instead, Indiana will welcome Justin Smith, who is ranked 80th, Clifton Moore, and Al Durham – who are both unranked.  One or all might be the next Oladipo, but we don’t know that yet.

Recruiting Indiana successfully is integral to winning at Indiana because if you can’t sell an Indiana kid on the notion of playing for IU, what kind of success can be expected in recruiting a kid from the east coast who can’t point to Indiana on a map?

His caption said, "this is all you need to know." How pray tell am I over analyzing this picture lol?

 

Edit: I apologize. I guess you really aren't talking to anyone on this board. You said Crean supporters. Ok resume the lynching.

Always the first to toot your own horn lol.

Crean was recruiting at a high level and had a recent B1G title and Sweet Sixteen visits. It was premature to call for his firing when this thread started. Waiting turn out to be the best thing anyway, depending on who we land. Billy D was not an option at the time. We've had more time to watch Archie and other young coaches. And now it's blatantly clear to all that Crean isn't the future. I don't regret supporting him while I did.

Waiting absolutely screwed us.  If we would have made the change when we should have, Stevens would be coach here right now and I highly doubt he would have left IU to take the Boston job right after taking the IU job.  I could be wrong on that, but really don't think I am.
