Fun game while we wait...who would be IU's coach today if Cody Zeller picked UNC instead of IU? It's Brad Stevens, right? 

[Capt. Crimson 3,415]

Illinois is going to end up with a better coach than INDIANA are you freaking kidding me Fred Glass.
Fire Crean and Glass before we end up with Rutgers at the bottom of the Big Ten.

We will have to see. Illinois isn't exactly a super sought after job.

crean needs to listen to his wife and say its time to move on!!!!! thank you and your not welcome here anymore!

Letting Crean dangle in the wind, the home NIT debacle, and now as a result being a punchline on ESPN and elsewhere cannot have improved our standing with the elite coaches like Billy D. This is really a cluster**** and it looks amateur as all hell.

Yep kept hoping this was a well planned idea and they knew what they were doing but it appears they are clowns and are lost at what to do

If Illinois gets Marshall or Bennett and we stick with Crean - what an embarrassment for our athletic department. McRobbie would need to clean house. That's something that would make me never watch Indiana again until our department is wiped out completely. If the rumors are true and Illinois is willing to pony up, why the hell can't we? Why is Tom Crean STILL our coach? Is there anyone with some freaking sense in our athletic department, university execs or board of trustees. What a disaster this could be. We'll look incredibly weak.

Anybody have any thoughts about Dane Fife possibly getting the job? I mean, he's low on my list of people I'd like to see get the job, but just throwing his name out there.

My one resemblance of a source is also hearing that "It is a firestorm and if Fred is not careful he will be in hot water as well"

 

Take that for what it is worth. My source I personally believe to be fairly reliable.

 

I feel a lot better after hearing that news.

Fred's master plan to stall for Billy D ! Make it happen

[Alford Bailey 12,350]

Bennett at Illinois would suck if we retain Crean. Be like playing Wisconsin 4 times a year.

I posted this in the Fred Glass thread also, but IU just got taken to task on around the horn for the whole NIT debacle. Crean mentioned as having a hot seat but they thought he would be back. Not that they know anything.

how are they connected?

[Bgrimm4 83]

You believe this is his real stance on Crean?
Or just being polite?

This is freakin crazy. This really has been a REALLY disappointing year. These rumors with Glass and Crean have us the most excited we've been all year haha. C'mon boosters!

Don't want to say.

It is kind of a 7 degrees of Kevin Bacon thing, but I trust the 2 ppl that spoke to and I will just say that I am feeling way more confident now.

 

I think a couple of the Mods are familiar with my source.
