TOM CREAN FIRED

[bigrod]

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. 

And still no point guard. Not sure how anyone thinks this team will be better next year when our biggest weakness hasn't been addressed. The great recruiter had brought in one PG in nine years. That should be all the evidence Glass needs.

Yup. The same problems we've had this year will be back next year, and we won't have as much offensive firepower to try and mask them. No JBJ, no TB, and still no point guard. Ugh.

You mean a triple-double machine?

If you're a triple- double machine and you're shooting low 40 %s and making only about 1/3 of your threes? I'm thinking there might be a way to be more efficient. Just my thoughts but probably not others lol.

Dude has 400 more attempts than the guy who is number 2 on the list lol

Don't worry though. I'm sure Tommy sees some great point guard skills in one of our power forwards.

42% from the field and 5.5 turnovers a game lol. He's a great talent but efficiency isn't his strong suit. I think it's more like he does his own thing and Billy coaches the other guys.

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

Agreed. I have enough music from "my times" to last a lifetime.

Green has the ability to be a good to great point, if given the chance!
(confidence, handles, shooting, vision, and gets to the rim)

I'm worried Juwan is going to fall victim to that next year. Crean's already tried it with him so I could see it happening even more next year. Wouldn't want to set normal positions for your guys or anything crazy like that.

I agree about Green, I'm just worried that if Crean is back then he either a) is gone or b) doesn't get the chance. I would feel good if he was our guy though.

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.

I've said it before, and will say it again. What happened? Yogi left (team leader, great teammate), and JBJ came back (attitude and selfish and no defense).

The bracket is out, IU is not in; another box is checked. I think Glass is deliberately waiting to announce a change will be made.

I love how this article words things lol. Shows the difference in expectations.

Is there a press conference can it be watched?

there was never going to be a press conference today, nothing to watch

Well, for anyone who shares this opinion, that's fine but in my opinion, you might rethink tuning back in if/when we're competing for titles.

As a fan, you suffer through the tough times to celebrate the good times. Even if you don't support the current AD or coach, you root for the Hoosiers ...

And if you're not able to, then keep the TV off when we're at the top again (with or without a new coach)

Just a thought. Could we all get a notification if/when Crean gets fired? 

[Hoosier Guy]

Not in the tournament after beating two #1 seeds. FIRE HIM! This is embarrassing
