So I've been off of here for awhile. What's the running theory for our next coach?


Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app


Billy D said no. But wait! Maybe he didn't, and we're still talking.

Fred Glass was at the MVC tournament, and Jay Bilas says Gregg Marshall is Btown bound to relieve his goodie good twin of his coaching duties.

Alford is involved in another cover-up, but this time it's his abismal tournament history (or lack there of considering he's missed it more times than he's taken his teams dancing) as he tries to convince Indiana that his resume is actually not a copy/paste of Crean's.

Sean Miller is currently sweating through his shirt, wondering if it's time to leave the desert heat.

And Brad Stevens is too busy living it up in Boston to answer calls from the annoying girl back home who won't give up on her love for him.

Crean just denied interest in Mizz job... "I want to put that to rest"

Article from Indy Star

http://www.indystar.com/story/sports/college/indiana/2017/03/09/indiana-hoosiers-tom-crean-leaving-missouri/98957236/

Relevant part...

"No, that's not true," Crean told Doyel as he was preparing his Hoosiers for Thursday's Big Ten tournament game. "I'm doing nothing but coaching this team.

"Normally, I don't comment on my job or any other open job, or on any speculation at all — and going forward, this is the only time I will do it, here to you — but I want to put that to rest. I'm coaching my team. I love coaching here."

It's a question of semantics.  Crean isn't doing the talking to Mizzou; his agent is so technically he has what politicians love - plausible deniability.

I just can't see crean wanting to be here after this year it will almost certainly hurt his coaching career imo.

The vitriol from fans would be on another level. I think he knows this and experienced it during the northwestern game. If he's back, I'll be extremely surprised

This will be interesting. Crean poses as a man of ultimate integrity. This blanket denial would be a flat out lie if he moves on after the season.

UNLESS Fred fires him.

I don't think he specifically denied anything but provided roundabout vague answers.

Just won Indiana Sports Writer of the Year for a second time... not sure who the hell is voting, but they should see a doctor before the hemorrhage in their brain worsens.

It is very telling that Glass denied being interviewed. I think the decision has been made barring a miracle.

Or it means Glass has read some of Doyel's junk, and simply doesn't even want to be in the same room with him.

If that is the case, good choice I'd say.
