Does it have to have wheels?

No, but wheels would be faster than walking.

What about dragging?

If it gets him out of Bloomington I won't complain.

Collins and Miller are better coaches than Crean. Archie took a team with nobody over 6"6 to the Elite 8. And didn't need Dwayne Wade to do it.

I've seen others post this as a positive before but this seems like more of a red flag to me than a positive. Why did he have a high school size roster? Injuries perhaps? Give me a break! If crean ever had a starting lineup, let alone an entire roster with nobody over 6'6"people would be pissed including myself for poor roster management

He kicked players off the team, which happened to be all his players taller than 6'6". Even after that, he made the dance and still advanced. Thats why its viewed as a positive. He didnt sacrifice the integrity of the program and coached up his team.

How about using a catapult?

My teeter totter of emotions say Crean is back next year. His uptick in recruiting is my biggest motivator. I've always thought last year's championship bought him an extra year.

If he leaves it won't be Glass' doing IMO. It would be on Crean.

I fear our purgatory continues. I most assuredly believe we need to move on but I'm not sure the stars are aligning just yet.

Losses to Iowa and NW would help the cause. I think we might win both.

I keep hearing people say this, but pretty much insider on every board I follow says they're already negotiating a "soft landing spot" for Crean after this season.

He won't be back next year, I'd put it at 85% confidence.

Unlike Crean and slapping people on the wrist for OWI's, failed drug test, and other things

I keep seeing Missouri as a potential match. Not sure if it's just a rumor or has some legs.

That's what is scary though.  Assuming all the rumors are true, Fred Glass is putting whether or not Crean returns in the hands of others...and 85% confidence of that happening isn't good enough in my book.  Plus, the fact that Crean and his staff are out recruiting people seems to lead one to believe that he thinks there is a significant chance he will be here next year.  Anyway, thanks for sharing the info.

More likely he is recruiting them for his next stop.

Good deal. Time to start the Pro Crean buzz in their area lol

Crean is too damn proud to leave on his own will and or stop recruiting. He believes this team is a championship contender this year and until our season wraps up, he's going to keep doing Creany things.

You may be right. Fred may be forced to fire him.

It should be 100% and that's alarming there is still a chance he could be back.
