It's a lot of people just repeating the same stuff that has come from 1 or 2 sources. 

Don't believe it until you see it. :)

If Glass makes the right hire here not for awhile. Made every other program better and if he can bring in a great coach then why would we? The next coach holds the key.

Glass has to know he risks his own job if he brings back Crean. He's a iu alum. I hope/think Glass fires Crean regardless of this soft landing crap

Some people are very positive just like some people are very negative about everything

No offense but the Missouri insider said this yesterday. Said talks have been going on for a month or so.

I would trust 0708 before a Missouri insider

The sad thing to me is the insiders like 0708 and Hickory have both said that if/when this happens, it will be because Crean is the one wanting to get out and making moves. Not Glass or the administration. That is terribly alarming to me. Gives me 0 faith that they will go out and get that homerun hire if they weren't the ones being proactive about replacing him

[HinnyHoosier 4,806]

Just give us a coach that has a knack for seeing kids who are mentally tough, appreciative of good defense, and coachable. Raw talent is everywhere. That's why we're to the point of stalking 5th grade basketball players in this country. But our program lacks coachability and toughness. We have the facilities. We have the reputation. We have the hysteria. Put all that with some Xs and Os coming from the sideline and Banner 6 is in reach.

I'm confident Glass is making the decision. I've said it time and time again, Crean is too damn proud of himself to walk away from "Indiana".

I hope you're right, but that's not what they've been saying in regards to Crean

Maybe 0708 got his info from the Missouri insider?

I know there's a lot of great "insiders" around the IU boards. That being said, the only one I really trust is Janitor. Janitor has made his claim here and on Twitter. That's all I needed.

I highly doubt that

I concur with this 100%.

I was very negative (as most of you know) regarding the Crean led IU. I started out neutral and gave him repeated chances (early in his tenure) but eventually it all turned negative to me. I could see through the big wins and knew we were still in trouble. He was trying to build the next Kentucky type system but couldn't recruit well enough.

Unless we blow this hire, and even if we do, I'll be anxiously optimistic until proven otherwise. (Like the first few big recruiting misses... Wink wink)

Agreed, but those guys I mentioned have track records of being consistently right. At the end of the day, as long as Crean is gone I'll be happy

I don't think anyone has consistently said it was a done deal. Some have said he will be the next coach but have also later stated that if all continues or based on what they think.

Might happen or might not

FWIW...I was inspired by Treesh and stopped by the airport... Watched the Wichita flight land.. It taxied to the Cook hangar...I didn't see anyone get out of the plane...

The only activity was a baggage cart...

Gotta get back to the office before someone notices I've been gone for an hour!

He also retweeted the Mizzou insider and yesterday's flight from Bton to St Louis.

Has anyone ever met the janitor? He is like a deep undercover cia agent living in an underground bunker. He exists but nobody has ever seen him.

Good work!  I have to ask, is the Cook hangar tied to IU basketball directly?  Or just Cook, Inc?  Or owned by Cook, Inc and used occasionally for IU basketball purposes?
