TOM CREAN FIRED

[Yogi's Picnic Basket]

Keep up the good work boys. We have put in enough time and effort on this and I have a gut feeling it will pay off. Rabjohns saying all that is absolutely a good sign. No matter what if his job is being threatened no way he trust Crean to make it right next year with nothing to show we will improve. Even if everyone came back this team was a mess. An extra year will not change the results much. OG has to be gone at this point. A lot of changes are about to happen and I dont see it ending well for Crean.

I have always felt this way about Crean and this past season reaffirmed my thoughts. 

Tom Crean has been and will always be an underdog. He does not know how to coach or win when he is considered the favorite. This is why his teams that have the most pressure fold and his teams that have no pressure rise. This is why he beats the teams he isn't suppose to and loses to the teams he shouldn't. This is why he misses out on the top dogs and can recruit the crap out of the "hidden gems" that fall through the cracks (birds of the same feather, flock together). This is why he can get guys like Victor Oladipo and OG to buy into him and the reason he can't get guys like JBJ and Noah Vonleh to buy into his system. You can hate on Cal all you want, but he can put any 5 star that steps foot onto his team into place and make them buy into his culture. Crean however, coddles them and lets them walk all over him before its too late. He isn't an alpha (not saying this is a bad thing) but IU is an alpha job. Crean's most successful season, was with a bunch of misfits (3 star guys cast aside by the big programs, besides Yogi and Cody) that bought into his culture and found success. This is why I truly believe that Crean would excel at a job that is okay to take on the underdog role. You can't make someone into something they are not. 

It's time to move on. Even the right decision is the wrong decision when made too late. THE TIME IS NOW

We need the PRESSER

[Tom White]

 
I have very, VERY well-placed sources that have told me with complete, absolute certainty that Thomas Aron Crean will not be the Indiana University Hoosiers men's basketball coach by this Friday.
 

Great! Now, what did they say about Thomas Aaron Crean?

He's not wrong about that but Crean still needs to go.

Where on tv would the presser be once there is one? Big Ten Network? ESPN? I'm gonna assume BTN will have it regardless

On Pardon The Interruption this week they were talking about how the South region of the bracket is loaded with 3 of the 5 best all time programs, North Carolina, UCLA, Kentucky. They then both said that Indiana and Duke round out the top 5.

 

Pull the trigger Glass.

 

FIRE HIM! This is embarrassing

I think Rabjohns is right about Glass flying back last night because there was a jet that arrived in Bloomington from Atlanta last night a 2:05 a.m. So that would explain why it also looked like Glass didn't have any luggage in those airport pictures from yesterday.

That was from this year too. He does have one of the smallest budgets overall. Basketball is obviously a larger part of it. But at 24 sporting teams and that budget pays for athletic scholarships that is a lot of money to travel when you don't need to.

Any idea how much it cost us to travel for last night? Between travel expenses and missed revenue I'd guess that we easily lost $300-400k. It's not a lot in the grand scheme of things but it would probably pay for half the yearly budget of one of the less expensive sports. Maybe I'm off on my numbers but a dollar spent on travel is more than what should've been spent.

Have no sources on that guy  ;)

[Iubravos]

Soon as I get word he's gone!!!!  Anybody else?

[ap2345]

According to 0708 on 247 "Several major boosters are meeting with Mr Glass this evening". Things are getting interesting folks. 

[Hoosier Guy]

Glass will regain some trust from me as long as he fires Crean. But the only thing that will get me completely on his side is to hire a big time coach

Just saw there is a fire tom crean group bring formed when students return from spring break. Saw on twitter. It may be to late for them but I am not surprised one bit by this if it actually is true.

Dakich is also saying that things will continue to go bad at Indiana unless they hire Alford because things end badly at Indiana for all coaches. He also just said that Indiana ignoring their past has worked out really well so far.
