TOM CREAN FIRED

[jumpshot53 130]

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.

If he makes the tourney he'll get an extension.

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.

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.

Nope. My time will be spent elsewhere

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.

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 

I would put up $500 saying that he is gone by the end of next week.  $100 that he is gone by Monday night.

I know I won't.  The NIT game was the first one I have watched in a month and a half and all it did was confirm that I'm done with IU basketball while Tom Crean is the coach.  I'm not going to go root for another team, but I just don't see the point of spending my free time (and money) doing something that brings displeasure.

Sad but true.

I'd like to think (and hope) that if the meeting was between Glass and boosters, and not trustees, that it was a meeting of reassurance that had Glass saying "ok guys, Crean is gone but I just wanted to make sure you were on board to help get the guy I'm going after."

I like the way you think!

It's the only string of thought I have that is keeping me somewhat sane today!

Currently changing all my bracket names to FireCrean1,2,3 etc.

[Hoosierfan2017 20,920]

Filling out my bracket made me sad. All those blue blood schools and IU couldn't even make it into the field. That in addition to knowing that even if we did I wouldn't be confident in us winning more than a game or two and this situation completely suckssss.

Why wouldn't you do it today? I mean any reasonable thinking... oh, never mind.
