TOM CREAN FIRED

[Josh 12,611]

I have watched a few Dayton games and this first half does not sum him up as a whole. Although it does bring another guy into the conversation Rhode Island has Hurley on the bench, but I don't know a whole lot about him. I seem to remember him being in the conversation for some jobs last year.

Fair enough. Because little Archie got thoroughly outcoached in the first half

FIRE HIM! This is embarrassing

[mdn82 25,510]

I don't want another coach who has to learn on the job. I don't have the patience for that.

Donovan, Marshall, Bennett.

FIRE HIM! This is embarrassing

Learn on the job? Crean did better at his previous job than here. Went to a Final Four. That terrible half? Perspective. Rhode Island has a RPI of 35. SOS is top 60. It's tied on the road. If that is terrible I guess I will be happier.

Check that. Dayton won on the road against a top 40 RPI, tournament team down 4 under a minute. Hopefully he is still near the top behind the Bennett's of the game.

Per another board, starting to look like you'll have to wait until next season.

I don't know whose sources to believe anymore.

The person who posted that is a staunch Crean supporter. Id believe Mile over him every time. Mile is much more objective.

Neither mod has an absolute as their conclusion.
Patience, and wait til the end of the season. By then we'll know.

Yep. Just miss the NCAAs so a change is forced. Im now fully on the tank the season bandwagon.

Ken started backtracking. HH is a mod as well. They are sharing info on the mod board. I never knew HH to have sources. He took over after the original mods came over here. The reason he became a mod is his enthusiasm toward Crean. I am sure Ken heard something and I could guess from who. Like I said earlier his info is from other long tenured posters from Scout that had info back in the day. It's weird they are being completely contradictory though. McCarthy has same access to the mod board and would talk to them some. I think if I were to take my emotions out of it I feel as though Glass puts pressure on himself to bring Crean back at this point. Barring something crazy.

I tend to think Crean returns unless we continue to lose and really nosedive even worse.

OR... Crean knows next year will be equal or worse and decides to move on. (This is hard to imagine. Crean seems like an unrealistic optimist that probably believes his own excuses).

Amen. It's for the long-term good of the program to lose a lot in these final 2 weeks. Crean needs to go this year, or next year will be an extremely toxic environment for all involved (coach, admin, fans, players, etc...)

I didnt read it as Ken backtracking at all. He clarified for ppl who wanted more info. Ive had some good pm conversations with some guys over there prior to Ken posting and all he was saying is what was being said behind the scenes over there. 

I dont know if HH has sources. Ive had run ins with him in the past and he gave me a temporary ban for saying a joke with no profanity or putting anyone down. Basically, he really just banned me for being anti-Crean and thats when I found btown banners. But overall, i tend to think HH just says whatever to show support Crean and rile up the anti-Crean crowd. 

[weaverswonders6 388]

Yes, HH dislikes me as well for giving factual basis for why I want CTC gone. Guy is delusional in his support for Crean as the long-term solution. I also got a ban from him and didn't post for months

I posted Creans defensive efficiency at IU by year showing he has never had a championship level defense. HH then said those stats were proof Crean has had good enough defenses to win a title. Thats when I realized the guy was just stirring the pot and keeping a conversation going. Or he is related to Crean. Lol

Always remember, the opposite of love is not hate.  It's apathy.  Fans are becoming apathetic.  The reasons are several-fold, but they are.  That;'s not good.

[coonhounds 8,872]

I am surprised at the number of people who think crean returns next year. If glass is serious about his expectations of the program and this season finishes like it looks like it will he needs to go. I have wanted crean gone oe had doubts since cody freshman year but crean has had a reason to stay every year. The buyout,returning star players, or star recruits coming in bringing optimism and hope to the program. Last season should have been it but u cant fire him after winning the big and bringing back og bryant and jbj. Most thought he had a chance to change it around this season or at least hoped. Now we have a full view picture same unorganized crap as always and injury excuse sounds good till you remember we stunk prior and weren't going anywhere anyway. It is now time he dont have a team coming back.

I, unfortunately, believe he will be back unless he leaves on his own. I don't think Glass wants him back but doesn't have a sure thing to bring in. I would prefer Crean is canned and find anyone better but I don't run things. I'm not opposed to bringing in an up and comer to see if it pans out over a 3-5 year stretch.

I'm not sure we get our lifer on the next hire but possibly the hire after that...
