TOM CREAN FIRED

[IU Hoosier41]

Tom crean and Fred glass = Insanity
Insanity = repeatedly doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result!
 
I always ask this 2 years ago when we missed the tournament we declined the nit bc " this is Indiana " according to Glass!
Now here we are missed the tournament but accepts the nit game!
What happened to "this is Indiana "?
Has his expectations changed?
Does he not care anymore?
P.S. fire tom crean to stay on topic [emoji91]
 
 
THIS IS INDIANA!!!!
 

We declined the CBI which is a pay to play tournament. A step below the NIT.

I am willing to forgive Fred Glass AND support him publicly if he does the following.

1.  Thanks Tom Crean for his time at IU

2. Tells Tom Crean that his time at IU is over

3. Gets OG and Bryant to stay

4. Hires either Brad Stevens, Tony Bennett, or Billy Donovan as head coach

5. Convinces Coach Knight to forgive the University and retract his death wish upon those involved in his dismissal

6. Brings Coach Knight and Neil Reed together and helps them to reconcile

7. Gets the NCAA to admit that Ted Valentine screwed Indiana out of a National Title by purposefully fouling out half the team during the 1992 Final Four game vs. Duke.

8. Vows that Indiana will never officially celebrate making it to a Sweet 16.

9. Convinces the NCAA to replay the 1975 Final Four with the original players because Scott May's injury was clearly a UCLA/Purdue joint covert operation trying to diminish Indiana's greatness.

10. Resigns immediately upon the completion of all of these tasks.

 

Is that too much to ask?

As long as 1, 2, 4 and 8 happen, I'm good

I think there are bigger worries than who replaces Crean, IF Crean can find a program that actually wants him.  We have a blithering idiot of a coward as an AD that doesn't appear concerned with his most visible program rather he's concerned about his buddy that helped him get the damn job.

As ibe said being elite is not freds goal unless it involves crean. The guy is a liar and a fraud.

and senior night net cutting embarrassment vs OSU. That to me despite all the ups and downs remains the low point in Crean's tenure.

That game was the first time I really felt that sick feeling in my stomach and dropped my head when folks brought up, "Hey, you're an IU fan aren't you? Wth we're they thinking cutting down the nets after that???" and All I could think was, "there is no way in hell Knight would have done that!" 

And watching Matta and his players smirk as the game ended? Idk who I wanted to punch in the throat more? Matta or Crean!!!

I think Crean and Glass are way underestimating how ugly next year will be.......screw the soft landing crap

It will be beyond ugly.

Wittman and Isaiah. I wasn't even close to their level of play.

Sometimes that's what it takes.

I could be wrong, and maybe there's a reason, but I don't remember seeing OG on the bench for the conference games.

I've seen him sitting behind the bench.  I read somewhere that he hasn't been given the OK to travel and has only been attending the home games.  Apparently, sitting behind the bench so as to prevent re-injury if a player were to dive for a ball or something.

They might be sold in the Assembly Hall gift shop next season

I think we are all getting fired up about nothing. I think things are all going well, albeit secretly via Glass. We shall find out soon enough whether to roast the AD. But for now, let's all keep a cool head

I think it's time for Glass to nut up or get out.  A couple years ago Glass outlined his supposed expectations for this program, and Crean has failed to meet them.  He can either cut Crean loose and do what he has to do to get a top tier coach, or follow Crean out of town.

Very and could really handle the ball. Fortunately I was not guarding him! Lol! Wittman didn't miss a shot! I was hoping we could get Sean Miller as our coach. After Brad and Billy of course. Doesn't seem like he's interested. Saw his Xavier team beat IU during EJ's Year at IU.

Along with an IU ship hitting an iceberg scene.

[HoosierAloha]

So many people ready to fire the AD because a decision has been made public... SMH

Relax!! Join Walton or Johnson to enjoy the HIGHER expectations.

For all we know this could be the case.  No doubt the AD and all involved would prefer everything to be on the QT, and they are under no obligation to be forthcoming with information during a time of "transition".  Then again, it may be every bit as FUBAR'ed as some have speculated.  And that's the problem: we don't know what is really going on, so it could be either extreme or somewhere in the middle.  But yes, we'd be best served to temper our emotions until we (finally) get solid information.
