TOM CREAN FIRED

[Stromboli]

I hate all your guts.

[IUrocker]

Are there still at least a few people on here who think Crean is for sure GONE based off how everything has panned out so far? I need this reassurance in my life!! Haha

Nice, but there's an even more fitting Judge Smails clip for somebody to post up. "Oh, Billy Billy Billy ..." It's pretty long, though. But in the end, Billy comes through.

[goiubb2000]

If Glass wanted to keep him, why didn't he give him an extension after last year. I still think his is GONE. If you like a coach that much and were trying to protect him, he would have given him an extension after last year. (At least I am trying to convince myself.)

We're lucky he didn't get one last year.  Apparently he asked for one and didn't get it.   That's why none of this makes sense.  It felt like Crean was on probation and this season he broke his probation by missing the tourney.  I'm holding out hope that the delay is due to a NBA coach.

First time poster, been lurking awhile.  There are MANY more people like me that haven't spoken out on message boards but we want him gone too.  If he is retained, I will join any movement to help stop attendance next year, or go on a strike in front of cameras to keep people out of AH.  I think it will come down to "we the people" to save our basketball program.  If they make the wrong decision, let us be ready to not go down without a fight.  Just be prepared with notes on stats, games, and comparisons to other coaches and schools, so we look and sound as if we are well-informed, not just ignorant fans.

Welcome, I'd leave now before you get addicted though. I pull up this thread every 3 minutes. It's bad.

And that would be a mistake.

Amen, I started posting a couple days ago for the exact same reasons.

I just need confirmation.  Will I be watching IU basketball next season or not?

Trust me on this one: Yes. You will be.

No matter whether Crean stays or goes. 

And I will too.

[Sam_Boger]

If Tom Crean stays I see a number of transfers coming from a lot of the team and no good recruits coming in because they don't want to commit to a coach that might get fired. Thank you Fred.

 

[SteelerHoosier]

Nope. My time will be spent elsewhere

[Dizz]

Most influence I can hope for is that my ESPN bracket named "#FireTomCrean" stays perfect long enough to show on TV.

I have a toddler so I already spent most of this year trying to sneak in radio broadcasts and the occasional TV broadcast. Made it to one game (Nebraska, ugh). If he's back, I won't bother. I can give my daughter the attention she deserves. She certainly doesn't need to see me screaming at college kids on my TV.
