One coaching name I haven't seen brought up is Greg McDermott of Creighton. I always thought he would do well with all the amenities he would have at IU.

A hard NO on that one.  Iowa State thought the same thing when they hired him in 2006.  He was never better than .500 there.  He had a losing record over 4 years and only beat a ranked team once.  I am a grad of Iowa State and Indiana, and the years he coached at ISU were some very down years in terms of results and excitement.

Mr. Obvious, Doyel. Wonder how much revenue this cost us.

First game of my life I will honestly hope we lose. If our own ad can take away a clear advantage whether 0 fans or full, then I just want this year to be over with. It is the only way Glass and Crean will stop dancing around the question. I really don't feel like waiting 2 more weeks to hear of whether Crean is back or not.

Every second IU is still alive in this tournament, is a reminder to the world that we aren't in the tournament that matters. End of story.

He'll be back and I'll watch Butler or ND for a season

Gregg Doyel is finally letting his true feelings out, but under a veil of excuse making.

 

Clearly his personal feelings towards the Crean's have affected his journalistic integrity as of late.

He has no journalistic integrity.

Man I can't even get up for an NIT game.  Just feels like another game to me unfortunately.   Sucks

Yeah, me too.  I'm just ready for the season to be over, both because I'm sick of watching sloppy basketball and because it should get us closer to knowing our future. 

[I do remember with great fondness when we beat Purdue for the NIT title several moons ago.  Not as much because it was a great accomplishment, but because it was yet another chance to win something that Giant Drum University failed at.]

I can be at Hinkle in an hour. WILL NOT suffer through a lame duck season. And wont come back easily.

Would Iowa State be comparable to IU in recruiting base and facilities,etc.? Just asking because I'm not familiar with Iowa State's ability to bring in the same caliber of recruits.

So, let me get this straight, Fred Glass has been in hiding, he finally appears on Kent Sterlings show, and Kent doesn't ask him anything about Crean because "we already know the answer." ??? 

Think I might be washing my hands of all of this and be done.

Mr. Obvious, Doyel. Wonder how much revenue this cost us.

Honestly this is a good article and he makes good points. The emphasis on him saying Glass made his decision two weeks ago says to me Crean is gone and has been. He is exactly right too. Why would either party even want to continue the relationship at this point? I sure as heck don't know but Doyel coming on board is big. He is the most respected journalist in the area. Sterling gets Glass's interviews first and Doyel gets Creans. That is big in the sense that were losing all of our faithful fans as I type this. The only way to bring them back now is to make the move. Let us hope for a L tomorrow night and a presser Wednesday or Thursday.

When did Doyel EVER have any journalistic integrity?

[Uwe Robb 1,072]

I am not a big Gregg Doyel fan exactly because he does flip flop like he has in weeks past, but this is a great article. I agree with pretty much all of it.

Sounds like a good reason to not tune in to Sterling's show. How can he let Glass go without even trying to get an answer? Unbelievable.

[Hoosierfan2017 19,994]

I don't like Doyel but he was completely on the money with this: "Indiana admitted defeat by declining a home game on national television." Now we see if Glass is okay with defeat or if he does something to change it.

If reports are accurate about Crean staying I think this thread will hit 2000 pages.

[Uwe Robb 1,072]

I wonder if any of Josh Pasnter's free tix are right behind the IU bench. I will go to gam in ATL in full IU gear, candy stripes and all and root for GT the entire game.

 

Tell them they could have made it a lot easier on me if they would have played in Btown.
