My vote after Stevens, which apparently won't happen, is for Donovan, S. Miller and A. Miller. Don't think Bennet would recruit well enough to get IU to the final four and beyond. Although it would be better than the status quo.

He had a 16-point second half lead in the Elite Eight last year with players he recruited before he had even started having real success at Virginia.  He would have no problem recruiting players good enough to win championships at IU.

Doyel must have killed somebody and Crean has the proof. Only explanation 

[Feathery 4,005]

Doyle wanted Crean fired when there were fans supporting Crean. Now fans wamt Crean fired and he wants Crean to stay. His schtick is to be a contrarian. 

Also, you can see something similar between DD and JMV. Their shows are back to back and they had different views on the Grigson/Pagano stuff. They also seem to have a differing opinion on Crean. I think its all for show. They need to have opposite opinions to drive ratings.

I just threw up in my mouth. That was the biggest peace of garbage I have read in awhile. He has been here 9 years. I don't think he is going to "grow" much more as a coach. Also if Glass does nothing he may find himself searching the classified ads with Crean looking for a new job. What's with the uniform stand of media members behind the coaching staff.

Much more?  He hasn't even started to grow as a coach.  He's the same now as he was when he was hired.

Remember when a down year at IU meant a 9 seed in the tournament? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

Ugh Doyel.. Trust your eyes and not your bosses and connections.

Hope someone can remind him of this article in a few days.

If Crean returns 1/2 to 2/3 of its fanbase won't return with him unless he starts the year 20-0.

Well if he is so up beat, maybe "a rough couple of days" meant he had a genital wart flare up?

With what he has coming back if he didn't schedule the worst teams in the country I would say 0-20 is more reasonable.

It's not 1963 and it's not the NFL. Defense doesn't win championships. Talent and balance seem to be a winning formula though. 

Proof is in the pudding

So, are Crean's injury excuses and Glass' inability to find the right guy going to save Crean's job again?

I think, finally the answer is no. But until it happens I'll remain worried.

Count me as a fan who will never be back on board with IU until he is gone. Honestly, id probably be done for good.

He managed to land Kyle Guy an Indiana boy, which you know who, couldn't do. 

Yep, you know who also missed on those four recent top 40 in the nation players from Indiana. Just prefer Donovan.

Right there with you. Optimistic one day, on edge the next. Ready for this to be over yesterday

Whoch is why we need to lose vs Iowa. Hopefully miss the NIT. Crean has had enough chances.

If Crean returns, we then know why we cancelled 2K tourney. Cupcake central in store.

We will lose vs Loiusville and ACC challenge ( we finished 10th-will that get us Boston College?).

We can agree to disagree.

Crean sounded like a guy that's staying. Pretty upbeat.

Or maybe a guy that has a new job lined up in which he is out from under all the pressure. I hope.

Or a guy who is happy to get his last show done.

IU should never miss the tourney. Maybe once in 15 to 20 years.
