I think that giving up a home game absolutely suggests more that he is gone.
If he were staying, he would have over 20 more home games and this would just be one of em.
To me? This is a way of letting him coach out the season and leave with gentility.
 
 

Yep. They keep saying we will play future games at home. So we wouldn't play on at home on Tuesday because of Spring Break but would play a 2nd round game before the week is up at home? Doesn't make a ton of sense.

We are talking about the IU administration.  It's become apparent they do NOTHING that makes sense.  This is right up their alley.

only way we play again this year at AH is if there are upsets in the NIT, higher seed always hosts, if bracket goes by he numbers we will not have the opportunity to host.

Too many things pointing in the direction of no Crean next year.

1. His senior game speech and his pressers seem to get less Creany.

2. The Mizzou talks seem A LOT stronger than the Bama ones ever were.

3. Declining to host the NIT game. If Crean is coming back, Glass makes announcement tomorrow and takes his lumps tuesday instead of letting it build up for 6 months for next season.

4. The 2K pull out. Crean has actively said he was using that as a positive to recruits. Jordan Tucker is a recruit who mentioned this a lot at the beginning of our recruitment with him.

5. Glass NOT saying a WORD while all these other AD's have been giving votes of confidence along with some being fired.

Something tells me Glass knows he has to get rid of him and doesn't want too, so he believes the longer he waits the better chance Crean finds another job to make it simple.

Why do you guys think them turning down a home game means he is gone? If anything I think it means the opposite. They will announce he is returning the day of the game. We will be on the road so it shields him from the home crowd backlash. Be it boos or a crowd the size of what you would find at a Cannelton High School home game. 

Whoa... My dad played at Cannelton. Watch your smart mouth! Haha!

I get that, but Belmont beating Georgia isn't crazy talk. I hope they do to see what happens if we win.

It's the NIT none of the power conference teams are any good, and can be beaten by anyone, if they were any good they would not be in the NIT.  I agree Belmont could easily beat both Georgia then IU.

When Jordan Tucker came and visited us during summer. (The picture of the two outside Cook Hall) He went back home saying how even if he went to IU he would be playing close to home a game or two a year hopefully. Mentioned future tourneys. It wasn't a big sell for Tucker but he did mention it. I don't see Crean wanting to back out of a place he has been actively recruiting specially with Chuck Martin around. They have made New York area a big priority and this hurts that. Not saying it is all tied to Crean being let go but has to be part of it you would think.
