TOM CREAN FIRED

You have got to be kidding me...

He just said this was his gut. Not his sources...

So I'm still hoping Glass can't be so incompetent as to keep Crean.

Hov, I think that number may be too low

Personally never thought he'd be gone. Damn sure didn't believe he was going to Missouri, whatever "IU Insider" gave up that pearl.

You're looking at it with logic.  You need to look at it as a Crean fanboy that was lying about his expectations.  In which case, Crean returning makes perfect sense.

Isn't TC's son on the team next year?

He is a preferred walk on for the baseball team but I could see that even being ugly for him with the fan base wanting his father to move on.

Which is ridiculous to begin with IMO. 

How so? Their season isn't over.

Neither is Illinois, and they made the move

Illinois' isn't either.

Does CTC have any 2018 recruiting momentum going? I think it will be hard for him to recruit when he has a lack of support just like it was this year.

Everyone on this board is bi-polar. No one on this board knows anything. If the truly insider guy is the "janitor" (which who knows how much he knows although he seems to have a good record) he has not said anything about Crean returning unless I've missed it. He's just says Alford's interest is from his side and not IU's in last couple days. Let's see how this plays out.

And it's the NIT. It's not like that's something to play for in the first place

Is Fred Glass really having an announcement at 6:00? If so wouldn't that lean to him firing Crean? If he was coming back wouldn't he just make a statement or send out a message on social media like the other ADs have done in support of their coaches.

A teacher told his daughter he was fired as a prank, his son got booed and yelled at at his school and that was when this was all mild. Why on earth would Glass or Crean think staying is best for either of them? On campus there will be a lot more bigger fans than at hs's. Riley sadly will not be welcome even as a student here. Not saying it is right it is just facts. If he was a star baseball player he may gotten better treatment, but he is a walk on. Crean has to look out for his family at this point. It isn't about anyone but them. Crean knows this fanbase will never be behind him even halfway. Why would a coach want to even do that to begin with? Glass may be an idiot and want to keep him but this is on Creans shoulders.

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?]

The Janitor use to be "in the gym". They no longer are.

That's an AD that was hired within the last couple of years wanting to bring in his own guy. Big difference

Hickory on 24/7, who is probably their best insider, just posted if Crean leaves IU its his decision alone. 
Not good news. 

Boy he sure changes his tune alot.

That's the thing though, Glass didn't even hire Crean correct? Why is he so hesitant to get rid of someone that isn't even 'his guy'

[theriverpilot 5,589]

Whew, you thought that Maryland fan was bad the other night? Wait and see how loud the IU faithful will be next year if Crean is retained

I don't see what the benefit would be to waiting until after the NIT, which isn't exactly a prize to begin with.  Make the announcement before and IU is instantly the best job that is known to be open.  Wait and Glass looks like he has lower expectations than Illinois and Missouri.
