TOM CREAN FIRED

Janitor tweeted about 10 hours ago: "Things don't end unless they end badly... move on #iubb I know for a fact Joani is ready to move on... let's just see if everyone else is"

According to Albers, take it for what its worth! Rojo will have his degree this spring and has interest in playing closer to home.

Gabe DeArmond has new info on Mizzou coaching search. Said 2 guys have been interviewed and there is some good info coming on his site. Anyone got a membership?

I could see Virginia Tech or maybe Maryland being attractive to him.

If somehow Crean returns next season things will be extremely toxic. Not the kind of a few boos here and there but flat out "get off my lawn" toxic.

Best show on TV IMO.

I really hope there's an announcement today. One way or another, just rip the band aid off

Does anyone think Matt Painter would be a good replacement for Crean? No? I assume everyone is laughing now. Well, Matt Painter has two sweet 16s, two big ten titles and has missed the tournament three times in his time at Purdue. Congratulations everyone, we're Purdue.

 

Actually, they have a chance to add to that record this year to we're already behind.

THATS WHAT I'VE BEEN TELLING PEOPLE!!! Thank you! I'm a fan of IU not Purdue. IU is turning into Purdue.

I can't fathom Crean coming back, but if he does, if I'm the AD part of a return is a complete sweep of his staff. You absolutely can not come back with the status quo. I hate to scapegoat the assistants, but you just can't bring this full staff back in tact, you have to at least give the optics that change has been attempted. 

Again, maybe not entirely fair, but some change has to occur.

Nicely stated.

Maybe there is a correlation to putting former players on the Asst. bench.

Duke seems to get it.  MSU seems to get it.

Put guys on there that have lived the game (recently) and want to coach (that are leaders).  Problem is CTC won't accept it!

Calbert (would have been good)

Fife (would have been damn good)

Damon Bailey (what the hell, somebody that is connected and legendary to high school basketball)

...at this point it's worth a shot.

Both happened in South Bend.  Kelly was forced to scrap a bunch of assistants, and overhaul.  Also, some folks questioned bringing in Tommy Rees as QB coach? Frickin' brilliant.  Kid lived through purple faced Kelly, and TBH, wasn't that shabby of a QB at all.  Perfect hire in my opinion. 

Not sure how Elston fared on the bench, or if he's liked by the players, but, yeah, if Crean is somehow back, I get behind this line of thinking with revamped coaching staff and former players, either from IU or elsewhere, on the bench.

Go Cubs Go!

What a season--highs of beating Kansas and UNC and being ranked high and lows of our mid and late season crash. That is sort of Coach Crean's story in a nut shell. Too many ups and downs--we deserve to be a CONSISTENT winner. It's time for a change--it's time for a presser. I still believe it's coming!

Bye Rojo. He doesn't value the ball, play defense, pass to the post, and now can't hit the broad side of a Hoosier barn. I will be happy to see him, Blackmon, and Crean all hit the bricks. As I have mentioned previously, our guard play absolutely killed us this year. Both of the freshmen should have played much more early in the year.

Our loss was discussed on the Dan Patrick Show.  They ridiculed Glass for the decision to punt on the home game.  Also said that it would be surprising if we kept Crean.  Said maybe we were afraid that Crean would go on a run, as a possible reason for punting.  We also have an article on Deadspin about last night... great to be made fun of in multiple outlets.

I have no insiders but Crean has to be gone now. Fanbase is speaking loudly!

Absolutely no justification to keep him. Zero

That is why i'm so on the "if Crean stays i'm washing my hands of this" train. I just seriously cannot fathom how he is retained.

The Hoosiers went down in a flaming fire ball last night symbolic of an exclamation point on a year of BUFFOONERY basketball. It more resembled BASKET WEAVING.
What will the IU administration do with this heap of ashes? Hopefully, they'll do the right thing and do it quickly!

Seth Davis is saying on the Dan Patrick show "51/49% gone for Tom Crean. It's real close." How? HOW?!?!? I'm the most reasonable person and when i'm wrong i'll fully admit it but so far no one has given me a legit reason to keep this guy.

Johnson and Blackman are a product of Crean's system. They look worse than they are because Crean wants them shooting 3's or attacking the rim. There lack of defense also stems from the lackluster system. The reason Kyle Guy went to Virginia was so he would improve his defense. I don't see anyone's defense improving under Crean.
