I have no sources myself. I am just guessing as well.

 

If Seth says 51/49 and you have one site saying staying and one site saying gone. I just have a gut feeling it still hasn't been decided yet. If a presser is in fact coming at 5:00 then I would assume there is an important vote coming up. Who is voting I have no clue.

It's not really a democracy though, it's a leadership decision.  Not sure I see a vote happening on any official level.

[Chris Nieman 669]

Another one. Loving this guy.

Any coach that worries more about deflections than keeping his 5 star Center in the damn post where he belongs needs not be IU's bball coach!

I tend to agree with you, but our leadership is obviously messed up like a soup sandwich.

 

If Glass wants him to stay and enough trustees want him gone then that could be what is calling a vote. Maybe they are letting the boosters vote to see exactly how this will impact them financially? Again, these are all just guesses on my part.

iy would be funny if they brought crean back and then as soon as he walked in the door july 1 they fired him I wouldn't care if we were terrible and had an interim coach next yr to see the look on his face

I actually spoke with Buckner a few weeks ago.  He was more than willing to talk about the Paul George trade drama, but IU he was more reserved.  He was fairly neutral and said, "Everyone wants to blame Crean, and I'm not defending him, but injuries did effect them in a big way."  For what its worth.  No he isn't a regular connection of mine.

This season was circling the drain before the injuries, so that's not an excuse.  The injuries just made it go down the drain faster.

Just had a conversation with a pUKe fan about the fire CTC situation. He said I don't blame the fans at all for wanting him gone. It's Indiana, one of the historic programs, you all gave him 9 years! Hell look at us we fired Gillespie and Smith for not meeting the standard and they didn't get near the time CTC got. Top programs expect to finish near the top at least a final four!

In all honesty, this was an eye opening experience for me! To actually hold a civil conversation with a pUKe fan about IU and not getting trashed for being an IU fan! I hope this is a good sign of things to come today!

I've heard a pUKe fan say IU deserves better than Crean.

After watching the latest postgame comments from Crean- he has always and continues to just totally rely on the metric of "shots falling", particularly from 3pt land. When his teams shoot really well from 3 they succeed, when they don't they lose, a lot. Safe to say that most well coached teams do really well when they shoot a high % from 3 but they also do pretty well when they don't because they 1) play good D 2) don't turn the ball over 3) work for good shots inside the arc.....Crean teams do none of the 3 in consecutive games. smh.

I think about 90% of the bball world gets it. The media and IU administration need to catch up.

I still think he's gone. But if Fred somehow does the unforgivable, his @$$ can go too

[IUrocker 2,128]

Ugggh...you would think that with all the noise that has been going on the past week especially, that if Glass was indeed intending on keeping Crean that he would have come out and said something by now, but since he hasn't then hopefully thay means something. Then if there really was a meeting with the boosters, it was just to discuss "ok guys, I'm letting him go, this other guy is on board but he's only going to come if we have this to give him. Let's get something worked out and make it happen." 

[Trish 11,408]

Still not yet fired?

Ugh.

What more evidence do you need to fire him?

Then your gut is telling me that i'm gonna take my talents to south beach.

[Hoosierfan2017 19,886]

If Crean is back next year I hope the fans make him and Glass absolutely miserable. That's wrong to say, but at this point I don't care. I just want us to be great again and if Crean is back all the good will I have toward him for the good things he's done will turn to animosity.
