He is part of the problem if he retains Crean and his job is then tied to Creans.

Relax folks Crean is gone. lets just say i know an old friend, that just happens to be on the board of  trustees, that knows a thing or two about basketball. He is gone!

Glass is an idiot and he needs to be fired as well

But but but.... are you playing, possum?

Should I read into the bolded part or the non-bolded part?

I will believe it when I see it/hear it. Ask your trustee friend when the announcement will be made, post it, and we'll be impressed.

Here is the thing that I want to know...why would Crean want to come back? He knows people want him gone, and at the end, was getting booed at home games. Next season would be even worse if he stays.

Money and arrogance.

While we continue in this holding pattern / limbo / purgatory, after catching up on the 12 or so pages I missed, I suspect "the Janitor" might have flown too close to the sun and has been informed to cool his jets.  If this theory is correct, it may be a good thing..

[how's that for a cliche packed, run on sentence?]

Arrogance and ego.

He's currently tied to a chair in Glass's basement

Watching the 02 FF game against Oklahoma.....How awesome is it Hornsby watched Hoosiers before every game his senior year of HS?

While it's cool for us to believe someone is getting the scoop for us, the truth is that deep-down I don't have a lot of respect for someone who is entrusted to confidential information and then goes blabbing it around.  The only reason for someone to do so is for self-aggrandizement or if they're being used to purposefully leak info.

If Glass retains Crean, he should be fired. Glass never should have given Crean that ridiculously large buyout. We have to watch another NCAA Selection Sunday show and not hear IU's name called! Not good!

If Crean is retained the it means Glass is a liar..
From 2015

Quote

“My goals for this program are to perennially contend for and to win multiple Big Ten championships, regularly go deep in the NCAA tournament and win our next national championship,” he told the Star. “Be elite, if you will. As a lifelong Hoosier and IU basketball fan, alumnus and current AD, nobody wants that more than me."

“Coach Crean’s status should be based on his ability to achieve those goals going forward, not what he has or hasn’t done in the past. Because I believe in the team he has assembled and is assembling, his leadership of it and their ability to start achieving our program goals, I continue to support Tom Crean as our coach.”

 

 

[jdailey1981]

Here is what will probably happen....Glass give clappy one more chance, and if he wins the Big Ten next season, he gets an extension, much to the dismay of IU fans.

[BlueDevil]

Crean will be retained, and he'll make the tournament next season and be rewarded with an extension. It just seems inevitable that we are stuck with him.

I think you guys are underestimating how bad next years team could be if Crean is back... if Crean is back I expect some key guys to leave the program.
