TOM CREAN FIRED

[HoosierAloha 29,887]

I thought Davis chose IU because Crean was loyal to him? Are we talking Davis transferring out because Crean stays or go? I would like to see Davis stay a Hoosier and develop when Crean is gone.

[HoosierRob 1,042]

Davis will for sure leave if crean goes. From everything I've heard, he's loyal to crean because crean stayed loyal to him for so long.

[Hoosier Guy 7,472]

Westbrook is going to the Lakers. No doubt in my mind. He's from LA and went to college there at UCLA. So that alone says that Donovan might just leave here soon

[mdn82 25,456]

He's being grossly misused and under-utlized (shocker).... I could see him leaving if CTC is back.  

It's actually due to his loyalty to Crean. If Crean goes so does he is how I have read it everywhere.

Yep that's it. De'Ron is very loyal to Crean since Crean was so loyal to him. Rock and a hard place guys. Davis won't properly develop unless Crean is gone but Davis won't be here if Crean isn't here. Man this all sucks

As a program you can't be held back by players. We can't have another Davis situation. That is coming from someone that thinks Davis has been our best player.

I think Davis has been one of their better players but IU wouldn't completely fall off without him. He's definitely got a lot of potential though

[HoosierSadaseci 2,258]

I honestly don't care what players may transfer if Crean is fired, change must be made for the betterment of the program.

I don't think any player on our team will make or break anything. To me Davis is a Holt type player.

Interesting comment from Sterling....telling Crean supporters to fill the stands for the NW game, otherwise "there will be a look-around for who wants the job, and that's a fact".

I find it kind of strange that that's the case instead of the other way around. I get being loyal to a guy who stayed loyal to you, but it would be much better for his career if he could develop at IU without Crean.

I enjoy KS and follow him on Twitter, but does anyone have any insight as to how "close" to the Program he is? Is he considered an "insider" with access to reliable intelligence?

I'm with ya here man. Tom Crean has to go and it doesn't matter who would go with him. His players are part of the problem too

He did go from being the number 1 player in his class to where he ended up. Obviously many schools backed off. That would do a lot to a kid. Honestly he has been better this year around the hoop scoring than in high school. He was a scorer at the rim who blocked shots. He has developed post moves for sure. Going against TB I practice helps him.

Just hope whomever we land knows how important instate recruiting is. Several prospects for the next 3/4 yrs look to be very valuable comodities. I think instate parents are more knowledgeable about proper basketball to see how the CTC style lacks good concepts. This may be a major reason why we are now having difficulty recruiting at home.

Billy Donovan makes $6 million per year. Are we willing to play in that ballpark?

FIRE HIM! This is embarrassing

We should. He's worth every penny. Dude would KILL at Indiana.

Are people saying that he would transfer to follow Crean wherever he ends up, or that he would transfer to wherever to 'get back at us' for getting rid of Crean?

If we were to land Donovan a player would be a fool to leave this program
