TOM CREAN FIRED

Recommended Posts

Seems to me like the sooner the better. I don't see any reason to wait, unless we are allowing Crean to finalize his soft landing.

But for us, the earlier we get the official news out there the more time we have to get to work with all interested candidates.

What is the timeline for a decision? We have cleared one hurdle - Glass did not come out right after the Wisconsin loss and state Crean will be back next year (as Shawn Eichorst did for Tim Miles at Nebraska). Is there a precedent for doing it prior to the NIT? If so, who would coach us during the NIT? I can’t imagine there is an advantage to firing Crean sooner rather than later - as all of the coaches we want are either looking at NCAA runs or the rest of their NBA seasons. I am craving good news (Crean Fired or leaving for another job). What is a realistic timeline?

Groce for Illinois will not be coaching the NIT and they are a projected 1 seed

As posted, Crean took part in the B1G presser. I believe he flaked on Fisch again(big shocker).

I don't think that he flaked on Fisch I think its the timing of the post game pressers at the B1G tournament and NCAA tournament.

The one little thing that keeps coming to my mind with these Alford rumors are that his son graduated this yr.  Kinda leaves me with that impression that Steve is now at the point in his life where he can do what he wants without moving Bryce again.

Groce hasn't been fired yet, has he? I would imagine they will make an announcement at a similar time to us.

 

I thought I had read somewhere where he would not be coaching the NIT I might be wrong though.
