That would be hilarious if Glass gave him the university's plane to fly down for a talk.

Fly him there, then when he gets off the plane close the door and head toward the run way to come back.

I'm not suggesting that happen, but I'm not suggesting that not happen either.

The worst part is when he says stuff like, "Oh Devonte, Juwan, De'Ron are all banged up. Not at all 100%. They barely practiced this week." Then they get in the game and act like their normal selves. Like what, did they brush shoulders with someone in practice? 

He always does this! It drives me crazy as well. He was talking about newkirk's knee not being 100% and monitoring him because of his surgery. Dude had microfracture surgery like 2 years ago. Just another excuse he's trying to slide in there.

Man, even if they CAN coach and have a proven track record, I don't want no 60+ yr old coach replacing crean.  I like that 40-50 yr old range so if it's the type of guy we all want, he can be here for more than 5 yrs before being admitted to a nursing home.

Crean at NC STate.

Oh, that'd be something. Can you imagine the cupcakes in noncon to compensate for that con schedule? He might petition the NCAA to play womens teams.

Yeah he's not still recovering from surgery that was two years ago. Another excuse by Crean. And yet, the media buys into his crap. The media can't honestly believe it's because of injuries year after year

EVerything is still speculative but looking less speculative every day.   Pap - If it happens, which '17 commits do you think we can retain if any?  Same question for our current freshmen.  Thanks.

(ESPN Ticker) "BREAKING NEWS...Indiana basketball coach, Tom Crean, steps down to accept position at [insert team here]

This is what is in my dreams nightly

On the speculative note, I'd imagine a large percentage of it depends on who the coach is and his plans regarding the roster.

Pap might have more detailed info but new coach usually "recruits" those on roster they want to retain.

Have heard DeRon would potentially transfer with Crean or closer to home (seems speculative to me).

I can't imagine CuJo being too happy. He might welcome a coaching change. Just spitballing here.

I think Crean will survive at Indiana but he would be an excellent hire at NC State. Would bring a lot of fire and ability to the job.

I understand in today's world kids wanna get to the NBA and get there fast.  But I want a coaching that can instil in the kids heads that winning for INDIANA is step number ONE if they r gonna play on the team.  Don't come to IU if u aren't interested in playing to win for the team.  Winners always look better.  No matter what level is next, the next level coach wants kids that have won and know what it takes.  Recruit kids that buy into winning for INDIANA as #1 priority.

I can't imagine they real buy into it. I think they just want access to the program.

Kinda like Alex McCarthy on the 247 board. I guess he just left and instantly started bashing Crean about everything lol

I agree you don't hear about other programs talk about kids going to the NBA like Crean does unless they have a team full of 1 and done guys the way Crean does. I mean Crean said that McSwain was a pro. Crean worries about developing more than coaching and that is why you don't see the team chemistry that is needed to win in the Big 10 because they have as many guys worried about the draft as Kentucky and the players aren't nearly as talented in my opinion.

IU will accept an NIT bid. Awesome!

If we can lose the first game of the NIT and do it with a near empty crowd.. then just maybe..
