I say we all mail a bag of peanuts to Glass office starting the day it's announced he's returning.  

I say we mail him a bag of feminine hygiene products instead.

Another supposed insider. I trust no one. He may be right but lets see what happens.

The only verifiable information we know is that Crean is still recruiting for Indiana. I think this is a bad sign and an indication he has been told he is going to be retained. Is it entirely possible Glass just hasn't fired him yet? Absolutely, but I would maintain the fact that he is still out recruiting is definitely a bad sign.

I see the old Bobby Knight treatment. Can we kick him out of his office too?

Maybe hang one for this season too.

He tried really hard, too many injuries

One thing's for sure. If Crean is back next year I won't bother jumping on the tank train again. Glass will have let us know that he doesn't care if Crean puts together bad teams that lose a lot of games. There are enough good games out there to watch to fill my free time.

I believe that this is all just posturing.  If Glass and Crean have a good relationship, Glass will do everything he can to get Crean the best deal possible.  Keep your eyes on Missouri, it's not over.  A lowball offer is often part of bargaining.  Crean is gone, IU does have feelers out.  This is just the way the game is played.

I still point out that Glass' silence is deafening. In 2015, he spoke out in defense of Clappy, but now, silence.

Or he's been told nothing so he is working business as usual. Often people fired from jobs conduct business normally till the moment they are fired even if the signs of it happening are likely. I am not saying we know for sure Crean will or won't be back but nothing I've seen so far (still recruiting, message board insiders) to sway me either way based on available evidence. I am still unsure and waiting to see how it plays out.

You're exactly right. I am clinging to this fact as well.

I totally agree that is possible. I am just saying the only credible/verifiable information we have is a bad sign. It is definitely possible you are correct (and I hope you are!).

He actually gave him the vote of confidence on 3/5/15. Later he reiterated and outlined the standards

 

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

Right, see that was two years ago. The alumni and major boosters have spoken.

Evidence that he may be gone. So we are at one thing saying Crean may stay (He's still recruiting) and one that he may be gone (Glass saying nothing). I am discrediting all "supposed insiders" as evidence since I believe no one. Like I said tea leaves are pointing sideways with no real evidence either way. We'll see what happens.

The fanbase is so upset glass probably knows a public backing of crean this time would cause a uprise. My guess is crean is gone but if he is planning on bringing him back probably best thing would be lay low say nothing hope for a nit championship and let this blow over

He is supposedly recruiting. He was supposed to go see a recruit at an open gym in Michigan last Sunday, and according to the recruit, he never showed.

If nobody can name their credible sources, they are speculation. That's it. I can't believe anything until something happens.

I hope we host a game and get blown the hell out in front of a crowd of 1,200 people if Crean comes back.

They did make the tournament that year, so the talk got louder after their early exit so that can explain the late announcement. Just trying to find any hope I still can

What about our run in 02 to National Championship? That was exactly 15 yrs ago so I can see you not taking that into account except your also saying 3 Big Ten Tourney semi's one of which in 01 (and its actually 4 since we went to semi's in 02 and lost on Recker's shot) occurred before our national title run in 02.
