I agree with this.  Based on reading this and a few other boards, it kind of sounds like IU is wanting to put out conflicting information for fear of things catching on in the national media.

The mere mention of "IU hasn't reached out to anyone" is completely ridiculous and goes against everything that has been accepted as common knowledge for the last few weeks.

I do understand not wanting things to catch on in the national media. Leaks are not really a good thing imo. I would want everything to stay in house as well. But anyone who follows IU knows what's really going on here

Wednesday was when the Donovan rumors really started flying. Thursday morning, Mile and 0708 both independently said they felt Crean was gone after the season. Then Danny Bridges makes this Facebook post Thursday evening. 0708 just told us yesterday afternoon to watch the news after we lose in the BTT. 

 

I'm calling smokescreen.

I cant wait for this season to end. The media and Crean supporters keep trumpeting 2 conference titles in 4 years. That tired stat is over in a couple weeks. Instead its he has missed the tournament twice in 4 years. Oh but that wont fit their agenda. This free pass Crean gets is the type of mentality that is holding back the program. Fire Crean and move on.

Hoping 0708 is kidding because he said that he got information Crean will be extended after the BTT today........if that happens I will be a Butler basketball fan.

0708 also posted this morning that Crean would be extended after BTT. I'm assuming he was joking, but he hasn't clarified.

FWIW. Crean has definitely not stopped recruiting; he was in New Albany last night for the Bloomington North vs. New Albany (defending 4A State champs) to watch Romeo Langford and a guy from BN.

As has been said, he's still (over)paid to do a job and his son plays for BN.

Yeah, was more or less responding to the idea that he had stopped recruiting.

If this is true, glass needs to go.

Lmao. I seriously might quit IUBB if an extension is signed. My truest recreational love. And I might have to quit.

What from 2017 recruiting or this season gives anyone the notion IUBB is in a good place? Good freakin lord.

I think most of figured he would be back next year because Glass will use the injury excuse.

That being said, we need to lose the rest of our games. Starting tonight, we need to get blown out

Yep, he's still recruiting alright, because his first 237 options said no.

Fire the man.

Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't be surprised if Crean is back.  I've said for a while Glass is just a Tom Crean fanboy that is more concerned with what's best for Crean than what's best for Indiana basketball, and probably screams like a 14 year old at a Bieber concert when Crean shows off his Sweet 16 rings.  Plus the administration seems to be about as concerned with IU basketball reaching it's potential as they are about Eastern Western Texarkana State Tech's intramural co-ed softball league.

[HoosierRob 1,042]

I love iubb. Always have. But if they extend this clown. I may be done.

[WayneFleekHoosier 48,506]

I don't mean to lash out @Bret. Just frustrated that winds have changed and some people can't see that Crean is a bad coach.

If Glass signs him to an extension time to fire them both. 

If Crean stays I'm done. I won't have a new team I'll just be done with IUBB. Why care if the people in charge don't. 

[SteelerHoosier 2,586]

If he is extended I am with you guys. I am done. Will be trading in all my IU BBall stuff for Butler gear. Go IU football! Go Coach Allen! 

[Yogi's Picnic Basket 5,004]

I have NO clue why everyone thinks an extension is so necessary if he does stay. He has a few years left. Even with a extension recruits arent stupid. He has a year like this next year he has to be gone even with it. Likely Fred follows him out for costing them so much money. Im sorry I just don't see an extension this year regardless.

I've been on record saying Glass will fire him. But if he is somehow extended, I swear to God I'm done. I would find so much more time to smoke even more kush
