Nope. My time will be spent elsewhere

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.

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

No matter whether Crean stays or goes. 

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!

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

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

[Hoosierfan2017 22,747]

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.

This is insane.I went to bed too late because of this thread and when I rolled out I was eagerly checking in while pouring my first cup.Really think I'm losing it.

No food; no water; make it stop.

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.

I feel exactly the same way. Born a Hoosier fan and have been for over 40 years. So sad the administration seems to want to destroy IU basketball despite the fans. Will not attend or watch another second of the Crean/Glass show. Hope we can save it in the end.

Maybe Glass hasn't made an announcement because he told the boosters and board, "if coach goes, I go," and the friendly embrace at the NIT game was a goodbye?
One can only dream...

Maybe one of the BoT made a phone call.

I won't be just like i didn't these last two months.  Crean has to go because he is not a good coach and they will never be good with him.

I will only watch via methods that cannot be tracked for ratings; at the bar, via "totally legitimate" streaming site, etc.  I won't let them count me in any sort of metric that could indicate I am supporting a team "coached" by Crean.  I'm an alumnus, I love my school, I love basketball, and I love Indiana Hoosier basketball even if it shortens my life expectancy by watching it.

I'm a season ticket holder and donor. I don't give millions but I do give thousands. If we stick with this coach I'm done until we make a change. I love my Hoosiers but will not support financially.

Well in the meantime I know where you can send those thousands. :)

If he's back next year there won't be any attendance for the cupcakes in the hall and rather empty for the B1G home games. It will hurt the bars/food establishments in Btown and put a hurt on the hotels too! Basically if will hurt the whole economy of Bloomington and probably Nashville too! Well they will still have fall foliage season. Really could suck for a lot of people. I wonder if IU cares though.....

Maybe we won't play any home games next year.
