If we lose tonight, what time will the vote of confidence come tomorrow? Will Glass let us wake up first?

Maybe Glass is there because of the decision not to play at home, he wanted to show the team he is supporting them. 

I'm curious to see who else will be there? It's driving distance but I took the pass. Much like creans coaching in second halfs.

I've been thinking a lot about the divide in the fan base between those who say that they will be done with IU basketball and those who say they will continue to watch and support regardless of who the coach and players are.  Here is my take.

1. When RMK left I realized that I was an IU fan, but I was really a basketball fan first.  The game means more to me than who is playing it.  I would never be a fan (wear the gear, talk about them as my team, cheer with exuberance) for a different team; I don't jump on bandwagons, but I will root for schools that play styles I enjoy.  I will also turn IU off because their style makes me sick.

2.  Though I don't think that it is necessary, I would rather lose playing like Northwestern or Virginia than win playing like Indiana.  Not having big time recruits doesn't bother me.  Lack of execution and general basketball silliness does.

3.  College basketball was a lot more fun when the majority of guys stuck around for their four years.  I really believe that the late 80's through the late 90's were the golden days of college ball. The highest caliber athletes being trained for the longest period of time to work together as a team.  Most kids dream of National Championships and then NBA glory, not going to college as a one year audition for a shoe contract.

If Indiana retains Crean.  I will quit watching.  I will hope that they lose to the extent that it takes to replace him.  Maybe that makes me a bad fan, but I firmly believe that there is something right in the world when the best of  amateur basketball is being played in Bloomington.

Ha, it's kind of neat that Wichita State and Dayton play each other in the first round of the NCAA tournament in Indy. Maybe it'll be loser of the game is announced head coach of IU and we will know who we have as soon as the first round is over! (Im kidding, but wow that's crazy that those two got matched up together...and in Indy).
