TOM CREAN FIRED

[Hoosier Guy 7,528]

But like some of you have said, if the meeting did indeed take place, a message board poster is probably not gonna give every single detail. And since 0708 could be that close to the program, it would definitely make sense to not leak it on a message board

If Donovan truly is a no go, IU better put the full court press on Archie

IU knows how to do a full court press? They sure don't know how to beat one.

If we are indeed focusing our attention on Sean Miller now, I wonder what impact that would have on Archie if/when Sean turns us down?  You'd certainly expect Archie to find out about it.  Would he be resentful about being 2nd or 3rd choice? Or, could we be going through Sean to guage his interest or his brother's interest?

LOL. It's something to ponder while we wait for something concrete.

Milehi dropping Sean Miller hints. He previously stated that he had not received any pro-Donovan intell.

 

Battle for top insider throne between 0708 and milehi going on over at 247.

Idk man but Archie is my choice after Donovan. Do everything in your power to get him before Ohio State grabs him. Of course, all of this assuming Donovan falls through the crack

Haha we know you have been claiming it will happen, but this is grasping at straws.

0708 hasn't posted since the donovan stuff so I don't know what  walking boot is talking about.  All mile said was he prefers "miller time" making a joke about beer and sean miller

If Crean is extended, I'll agree that Glass is not aligned with necessary expectations for the basketball program. If CTC, is back without an extension, I'd see that as a sign that Glass is holding out for the right hire and it wasn't there this year. I don't see Glass rushing this.

It's truly baffling to me that people actually believe Glass doesn't know how important the basketball team and making the right hire is to the long-term stability of his job, which I'm sure he values very, very highly.

Crean knows that the large majority of the fanbase is ready for a change. He has to be hearing it everywhere he turns. Maybe, just maybe he is ready for a change himself. There is high interest out there for him now. Soft landing may be what he is looking for. We know that he is egotistical as most coaches are, but the toll on himself and family could be something that may push him on out the door. We could only hope. I don't care how confident of a person you are. There comes a time that when outside pressures have to wrar you down.

I went over there and checked out out the 247 thread.

0708 may be right but even he says he doesn't know what to think or believe. He may have sources but I mean the guys avatar is a picture of himself. If he's leaked info in the past I feel like the IU admin would have found out who this guy is by now and advised him to stop. Who knows.

I thought the same thing when he's using a picture of himself  .... he's not very "underground" .... not very worried about blowing his cover...

Donovan and Stevens are as close to a "sure thing" for success as possible.  Being NBA coaches, with playoff teams, probably makes them harder "gets" as well.  The one thing about those two is that they would get near unanimous acceptance and enthusiasm.

The next handful have varying degrees of fan preference.  Those coaches also come with less of a guarantee of success (but still very likely to be major improvements, IMO).  The problem with this period of speculation and rumor is that fans begin to form stronger opinions for and against those candidates.  IMO, those names like Miller(s), Bennett, etc. all would give reason for optimism.  I believe and hope most will be supportive of the selection.

Now if there is no new coach, or one of the lower tier guys is picked all bets are off.

until the ad let the players decide who the coach would be..........mike davis. all down hill since

[KYHoosier 340]

Not that we don't already know this but I heard a few days ago that the people who matter at IU have decided Crean is done after this season, however there are still people who back him within the program, so the likelihood of staying another year is possible but maybe not high. I guess all them agree that Crean is not the guy for the longer term.

This tells me if Crean is back then they couldn't land the guy they wanted and if he isn't back then they got someone they think highly of.

As far as Donovan, whether the info is true or not, lets not get blinded that IU is targeting other good coaches. Either Miller brother or Tony Bennett would be a huge upgrade over Crean.

Well, that situation is why I remain resistant to any thought of Dan Fife.

When? After Knight, we've had 3 non pick of the litters. Historically great program, poor administrations the last 15 years.
