TOM CREAN FIRED

[mdiu28 1,909]

We've beaten 2 projected #1 seeds, were ranked #3 in the country. Since then, IU has paid Tom Crean about $886k - time for an NIT party

No matter who the coach is, I'll probably never be able to stop watching IU basketball. I just can't do it

I can tell you haven't listed to much new music in a few decades.  Most of it is just varying level of garbage.

Movies, TV shows and music are garbage because the people who make them are not interested in hiring the most talented people, but rather they hire people who are willing to promote their propaganda.

The entertainment industry is just a conduit for propaganda that is designed to socially engineer our society towards communism.

Guys/Gals, I am sorry to have to ask this but .....do we have any good recruits coming in next year?

1 top 100. And he's not top 50. So no.

Glass' silence says it all for me.
If he were going to keep him, he would've said so by now. My guess is he's waiting/trying to get his guy before any announcement is made. 
 

I think the silence speaks volumes. I hope you're right.

I've thought he could be waiting for Crean to land another job first?

[bstall76 61]

Glass is just waiting until after the bracket is out so he can say missing the tourney 2/4 seasons is not acceptable and a change has to be made.

This isn't a popular stance here, especially on this board... But I've been watching the Hoosiers for 30 years and will continue to watch and cheer on this team regardless of the coach.

Do I want a new coach? Absolutely. Can I do anything to make that happen? Face it, unless you're a big time booster, none of us have any control.

Accept the team and coaching staff we're given and cheer them on or allow yourself to be miserable. Completely your choice.

But I'm cheering for success.... In the NIT and next season.

It's more complicated than that.  I too have been a fan for decades...closer to 40 years.  I stopped watching this year for the first time.  Does that make me a fair weather fan (40 years in the making)?  I think not.  I'm not a traitor.  I'm just taking a breather for my own good...watching such poor quality coaching annoys me to no end and that's not doing anybody any good whatsoever.  I won't wait for glory before I reengage.  I'll do so the moment we have a new coach regardless of how well the team performs in the first games/season.

I can understand that. But IU is supposed to be at the top of the college basketball world with the likes of Kentucky, Kansas, North Carolina and Duke. They shouldn't have been down for this long and they shouldn't be down any longer. This is the time to act like a blue blood program. Make the move that should've been made two years ago. It's not that hard. If a person underperforms at his job, he loses it. That is as clear as day. Go get an elite coach like all of the other aforementioned schools did and reap the benefits. And if Glass doesn't, he's accepting mediocrity. And that's just not acceptable at IU

The difference between those programs and ours, they have won championships in the last 10 years right?  I'm just as frustrated as the next guy, I fall into the camp that thinking we can go out and get an elite coach is a pipe dream.  We haven't won the NCAA in about 30 years, we have never won the Big 10 Tourney, the fan base DEMANDS excellence (which isn't a bad thing)..but that makes it tough for a Coach knowing there is NO room for error (injury, grades ect) in a time when there is good parity across leagues.  Going to be an interesting off season for sure.  Go Hoosiers!

Gotcha. You know, I do have to give credit to CC for getting OG & Juwan last year. They were not highly touted by he saw some good talent in them. They were pretty darn good as Freshman but this year they and TB took two giant steps backwards. Which is totally unacceptable. So.... What happened here? Coaching? Poisoned team chemistry (which a coach would be responsible for)? For the life of me....I just can't understand it.

This! The dude was acting like I would wait until we were in the FF again before I started watching. The minute a hire is made I am back. Even if I don't particularly agree with the hire.

I have some tin foil to sell you if you're out.

I wasn't going to touch that post.  That could spiral out of control in a hurry, even by the standards of a thread dedicated to firing someone.

Gabe DeArmond said Crean is STILL on short list but that is about as confident as he is gonna say anything. Just for the people who think it is done for. Still may not happen but at least there is a shot.

You know, this makes a lot of sense. I'm just grasping for anything to bring me hope, but maybe Fred's just waiting for it to be official that we are out of the NCAA tourney.

Justin Smith should be pretty good. He's not a program changer or anything but he'll be solid. All 3 of our recruits seem like they'll be solid in years 3 and 4 but I don't think they'll move the needle much next year.
