TOM CREAN FIRED

[Hovadipo 55,879]

I think something that is troubling is that former Crean players think the same things that we do. Not all of them obviously, but I have some firsthand info that some of the more recognizable/beloved guys from recent history have no idea how he is still here.

On the topic of Janitor, I think he regularly made some similar comments when he was around here as well.

I've heard the name of a beloved player that "hates" him.

Cody seems very talkative about the team. The tweet the other day of so we get the best teams and get beat by bad teams got it made that clear to me and him also retweeting something of ipfw is worried IU win hurts them by how bad we have been.

Your guess would be correct.

I've never used the player's name on the board, and won't now.  I don't usually say anything because I didn't hear it directly from the player and I never have info, it's second hand from someone that knew the player.

[Yogi's Picnic Basket 5,004]

Also has said we are way too talented to have our record and when he was asked who is to blame he said it definitely isnt the players. I have also heard watford wasnt his biggest fan.

I seem to recall a couple players weren't big fans, according to the janitor.

[TheWatShot 13,911]

I can't imagine Matt Roth is too fond of him.

"JanitorInTheGym" is his moniker and twitter handle. He is hooked in. For real. He is not a fan of Crean. He tweeted this week that alums are starting to get involved in a post-Crean effort.

 

Thank you.  Sheesh...I feel out of the loop.   If anyone really knows basketball, at least from my chair, it's pretty clear we're paying a guy $3 million annually to do very basic things on the court.  Things any good high school coach could teach, and certainly any college coach with a brain and a little talent can adjust to.   Personally, I know lots of alums who are upset Crean does so poorly recruiting in Indiana.  Let's face it....lots of fans want to follow recruits, and we can't do it because they all go elsewhere.

I have an idea about the janitor.

Also, throw Vonleh into the non-Crean fans.

Hova, I'd love to hear some of the stories if able to share.

I asked him about 2 weeks ago if he thought crean survived the season. He said yes at first, saying he has deep ties to the right people.

He then wrote me today and said he may have been wrong and that talk has begun.

The most optimistic thing I've experienced as a fan in weeks.

What's the idea?

[GloryDays 5,920]

Still a LOT of season left.

Sadly I think it will take a free fall for Crean to be fired. Not sure .500 in conference will get him canned.

His recruiting misses and class next season won't help his cause though.

To me it seems the free fall is in full effect.Sad to say I hope I'm right.I really hope he doesn't pull a rabbit out of his ass at this point.This isn't and hasn't been IU basketball for a long time.Holtman would be a major upgrade.

A couple of weeks ago when someone pointed out that this is CTC's 9th season, it really sunk in that other programs have come back from worse and achieved more in less time.  Look at Kentucky after the Emory cash delivery - they were having greater success in half as many years.  There is nothing about the program that is trending upward - especially recruiting. 

[TheWatShot 13,911]

This season is reminding me of the year after our Final Four run with Davis. We were 8-0 going into the UK game, ranked 6th or 7th in the country, then Davis lost his mind at the end of that game and we went .500 the rest of the way.

He contacted him directly and had convos. We were trying to guess and figure it out for a while on the mod board. There was a thread he started the athletic department asked us to take down immediately after he started it. Denied then announced a couple days later.
