TOM CREAN FIRED

[HoosierSadaseci]

I'm going to keep the faith that Fred Glass comes to his senses and fires Crean at the end of the season.  Pray with me now......Amen.

[HoosierRob]

I've always though Blackmon was a me first guy. I'm my opinion he only cares about getting to the NBA.

[rebelhoosier848891]

Lots of noise and clutter and I believe things that are decoys---so it may be wishful thinking but I say--- where there is smoke ---there is fire. So--I am sticking with my original prediction: Crean to Mizzou and Donovan to IU!  What you got Hoosier Nation? Get your final predictions on record because I think things start leaking if we happen to lose tonight! 

[Hovadipo]

Not exactly my point. More like root for an ending tonight so the lame soap opera and rumors will be close to ending, or at least draw closer to ending.
I can't be the only one thinking this.

Haha just messing around. I feel you. Seeing all the rumors and knowing only 1% of them are true gets old.

I think we win either way...we either get to keep watching IU basketball or we lose and all (or at least most) of our questions get answered.

i have to root for the team tonight. im not a crean fan want to see him gone but i would like to see the team go out with a fight. have to remember the team is just a bunch of kids playing basketball trying to get through college.

[Hoosier Guy]

Crean was never gonna be gone until the end of the season. I think that was the right decision too. But Glass should have announced that Crean was gonna be relieved of his duties at the end of the season. This should have happened after the loss Friday. Or before senior night. Either way, people would have shown up at Assembly Hall to show appreciation for Crean. He did some good things that us fans have acknowledged. But it's time for this era to end and I have no doubt that we would have shown our appreciation had Glass done this exact scenario

I'll be rooting too. I hate seeing this season turn into the dumpster fire it's become. Would like to see some positive even though I think a change is still needed at head coach

Prediction: Crean is gone. We get a new coach. Forget insiders and just look at what actions have actually happened. We missed the dance 2 of 4 years, large sections of the stadium were empty on senior night, plenty of booing of Crean at assembly hall, give up a home game to save your coach from getting a chorus of boo's. That tells me its over. I dont care what any message board insider says, its over. Glass is just playing the waiting game and allowing Crean to get the best deal possible.

Edit: And the one thing that hasnt happened, Glass giving public support to Crean. Glass had the perfect opportunity to put this issue to rest when Hutch asked him, instead he said he only wanted to talk about other topics.

Trajectory of season: IU had a 26-game home winning streak going into late Dec. Now it's actively refused to host home game in NIT.

FWIW they are saying that Glass is in attendance at tonights game.

My thoughts weren't even really directed at you, per say. So I apologize if you were annoyed.

I think we can all agree that storylines have become out of control. 

One thing is for sure: IU has a lot of unnamed sources.

No problem man. We're all a little frustrated right now

Fred Glass is there. He's really trying to keep Crean isn't he [emoji24]

Look on the bright side, I'm pretty sure every road game Glass has attended this year has been a loss lol

I just a blurb earlier today that last year there were 811 transfers.  It was just a fluke that we didn't have any last year especially after our experiences in the previous years.  As a coach, l think you probably have to expect and plan for 1 or 2 per year just because of how the climate in college basketball has changed.

We averaged one or two a year in the past (i.e. RMK years). That being said I do not recall oversigns.

He was behind the bench for the Purdue game too.  Not sure him being there means anything.

While everyone is reading...... shoutout to the mods and everyone who makes BTB great. Whether you're reading on a computer or on the app, it's very user-friendly and that's probably the biggest reason I follow. I love how it bookmarks your spot. Anyway, proceed with the CTC bashing

Oh I was not implying it meant anything just saying he was there.
