"We've got to get better."  How many times have we heard that or seen that quote this season?  Good grief, we didn't start 4 freshmen and a sophomore.  The guys that played the bulk of the minutes were all seasoned D-1 veterans.  Our freshmen rarely got meaningful minutes and when they did and if they were positive minutes, it always seemed like they were taken out of the game and rarely seen again.  So coach, when do YOUR recruits get better?  When do YOUR recruits assume leadership?  When do YOUR recruits learn to play defense?  When do YOUR recruits learn to take care of the ball?  When do you start recruiting like you know what you're doing and hopefully it's no longer from Bloomington, IN.

Last night he said "I have to get better."  Geez louise, how many years have you been coaching (or whatever it is you call it)?  Maybe a coach with less than 10 years on the job says that, but a man with your years???????    You're way out of your league at IU and almost everyone knows it but you.

That's your problem then, because it'll answer your question.

This guy is a complete . All he does is make excuses for why his team isn't good. He NEVER takes accountability and I am really damn tired of it. It's mostly Crean but Glass has to take blame as well. Glass started all of this crap with that ridiculous extension, S16 rings and cutting down the nets after a LOSS with an outright B1G championship on the line. Fred has allowed Crean to do whatever he damn well pleases. It's an absolute outrage and if Glass can't see that and does the unforgivable, he needs to be fired at the same damn time with Crean. With all that said, I still think Crean is gone but I wanna see a presser to validate it

The Board of Trustees have more on their plate than just the athletic department and that's why FG has the job.  But I cannot imagine that there is a single trustee who is happy with the product we put on the court this year.  Publicly they may couch their comments, but behind closed doors I have to believe they are just as upset as we are and there is pressure being brought to bear.  This debacle that has become Indiana basketball has to end.

Any guy that has to bring up his accomplishments has serious issues. HE HAS TO GO.

This is scary... Crean comes out dissing Georgia Tech for letting his friend, Brian Gregory, go prior to Pastner's hire... this guy just keeps making me more and more disgusted every time he opens his mouth.
[/url] He also blamed the injuries...

Dukes top 3 freshman were hurt at the beginning of the year.... Look where they're at

Next year projects to be about the same as this year. There is no way you extend him this year or next. If Crean isn't gone we're just digging a deeper hole and getting further from what we expect to be.

Everything that could possibly be said has been said by other posters but I one thing that has been saddening to me is if you go to espn.com right now IU is nowhere to be found. It's march. There's no way that IU should not be on the front page of that website during march. I keep going to that website expecting to see IU news and nothing. Sad.

Between now and Friday at 5 pm we will get our answer one way or another.

That presser, WOW! What an arrogant a$$. Lecture Ga Tech for firing a poor coach? Nice one!

I haven't felt this bad since Noah Vonleh played for IU.

The sad thing is, I believe that this may have been IU's most talented team under Crean.  Imagine what they could have accomplished with a coach.

[HoosierCoop 3,816]

What we witnessed last night looked like J.V. basketball.  Horrible passes, dribbling off of feet, etc.

I'm stepping out of the box on this one. Every coach on that bench needs to go.

Do we not have basic basketball skills?  I don't care that you can shoot and dunk, dribble and pass the ball!!!

I feel that these are the mistakes that every coach on the bench has to own.  That's great that they are in top physical condition but for cripe sakes!!!

"No matter what’s on a contract or anything, I’m going to coach the same way,” he said, “whether I’ve got one year or I’ve got 10 years."

More talented than the team with 2 lottery picks? No. 

[Chris Nieman 669]

Another thing that pains me, is the people that are blaming the players for lack of leadership. Yeah. No. If one of my troops ****s up it could very well be an anomaly. If my whole squad is ******* up, that's on me. I'm obviously not doing my job.

I can't fathom Crean coming back, but if he does, if I'm the AD part of a return is a complete sweep of his staff. You absolutely can not come back with the status quo. I hate to scapegoat the assistants, but you just can't bring this full staff back in tact, you have to at least give the optics that change has been attempted. 

Again, maybe not entirely fair, but some change has to occur.

When he stated,we need to play more downhill I almost puked.The only thing that needs sped up is a dismissal.

I'm guessing if Crean is here another year, the tables will turn on Mr. Glass also.
