TOM CREAN FIRED

[recker222000 1,010]

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

Fire the man.

0 for 21 on five star offers for 2017. 0 for 1 for sure in 2018 with Romeo. His recruiting is so flawed and then he scrambles to uncover the Aprils and Prillers of the world at the last moment. Unreal

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.

If he gets an extension after this the argument could be made to recruits he's untouchable.

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.

Pretty much. He is tied to crean at the hip big time and he is not letting go without a fight

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.

They could see it and just not give a crap what it means for the program.  Why is Indiana basketball struggling so bad?  Because they treat it like a damn mid major.  pUKe got serious about basketball and Alabama got serious about football, while Fred Glass is reading the works of the Greek philosopher Mediocrites hoping his pal Crean can improve to mediocre.

Exactly. It's either fire him or extend him. And if it is somehow the latter, I'm done

If Crean gets an extension Glass is a confirmed Purdue double agent. That would be an all-time dumb decision.

Just mind boggling they have out rings for that. Just embarrassing. But I'm sure Fred has his in a case like a shrine.

It wouldn't be his first stupid decision when it comes to Crean.  He was stupid enough to sign that ridiculous buyout, then didn't fire Crean when it was deserved before last season.  So extending Crean would be no better than his 3rd stupid Crean related decision.

I'll eat my words if Glass somehow brings back Crean. I just don't see it though. Fred knows his job would be on the line if he did that. I've got to think he's smarter than that

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

I don't know if this is crossways of the rules or not, and if so I am sorry for asking. Where are the posts from these guys (0708 and mile) so many of you are following? I have no idea who they are, or where to look, but it seems a lot of you put stock in their postings.

[HoosierRob 1,042]

IU0708 just replied with "kidding sort of" what does that even mean?

They are insiders with good info.

He spit shines Crean's.

[AKHoosier 7,064]

Well 0708 just said he was "kidding sort of."

What that could possibly mean, I haven't the faintest idea.

Probably means they are hearing he will return next season, but is kidding about the extension

On more than one occasion he's been stupid when it comes to Crean, why the hell would he start making smart decisions now?

I was just about to post this. I think he means that Crean will be gone but wouldn't be surprised if the extension happens either

Mile isn't really an 'insider' as he says, he does know people that give him good info though.
