TOM CREAN FIRED

[coonhounds 8,690]

I've followed IU basketball since the late 70's.  I was at the Memorial Coliseum in Fort Wayne when Knight brought his team to town for a practice.  The place was sold out and it was such a thrill.  It was like celebrities coming to town.  I wish some of the younger fans could have experienced what we had.  It's depressing because we could have it again, or close to it, which would be great.  Just a few idiots standing in our way, and of course dragging Crean out of town kicking and screaming.  
 
 
 
 
 

But we did better we got to see them play this year and it was sold out. Minus the monumental embarrassment of losing nevermind

I have got to believe that Glass is waiting to make an announcement because when a school like IU makes an announcement, like the one that we expect is going to happen, it is going to send shock waves across the landscape and Glass does not want to do that right now.  Plus, I think the new coach does not want the announcement to be made yet.  Glass is not going to pull an Illinois.

Would it be telling that CTC is coming back if he's an analyst for cbs during the tournament like he's done before?

What if, all along, Glass has been wanting Crean out but the trustees haven't allowed it? What if Glass' people have been reaching out to possible candidates to gauge interest? What if we've been wrong about who actually wants him to return?

Glass might be a lot of things but he absolutely knows that if he messes up IUBB he's out. He'll have to make the right decisions or he's out. I'm not sold that he wants Crean back.

Sometimes I wonder is this is the real Tom Crean behind this. Lol

 

[HoosierAloha 29,880]

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 

Yes, I believe Crean is gone for sure. There are certain things that have to take place before the announcement is made though. That includes, but not limited to, Crean find a soft landing.

I can get behind this. Glass could have extended him last year, but didn't.

The fact that Tom Crean has had the opportunity to be a CBS analyst during the NCAA tournament is...


The reason for this 1,000+ page thread, actually.

FWIW...Rabby apparently now says he is hearing...

A change is gonna come.

No idea who this guy is or what he knows, but here it is...

 

[piratehoosier 68]

Anybody have a clue about this guy and his info?

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.

Welcome, I'd leave now before you get addicted though. I pull up this thread every 3 minutes. It's bad. 

I haven't bathed or slept in 3 days

REPORT: Per sources, #Indiana will fire HC Tom Crean.  Current #MichiganState AC and former Hoosier G Dane Fife is a strong candidate.

i can't keep track of all of the flip flopping.

can we get a timeline of the rumors.  My head is going to explode.

It's happening guys, it's finally happening..

[Stuhoo 75,413]

 

If Fife has impressed the powers that be at IU to that extent.

Fife would be absolutely awesome.

We need to move on from CTC, and we need young blood.

Please fire.

Please let it be Archie, Fife, Nored, someone that can build a 25 year legacy.
