TOM CREAN FIRED

[mdn82 25,510]

He talks about how important money is, but then he turns around and pays for the team to travel to Atlanta instead of making money off them playing at home... Things are getting really bizarre in Hoosier Land. 

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.

This man just said he's going to coach the same way for the remainder of his time at IU.

Is that not alarming anyone?....

Not alarming at all.... considering the remainder of his time at IU was the plane ride home from Atlanta.....

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

Calling out the "Blue Ribbon committee"

 

Asking where are they at now? They loved him when he was turning program around now they are nowhere to be found during losing stretch.

 

Calling Yeagley "sneaky"

We need the PRESSER

[Tom White 1,435]

 
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

LMAO!!! Good one!

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.
