TOM CREAN FIRED

[Yogi's Picnic Basket 5,004]

He should have 0 job security and 0 leverage when it comes to this situation. If he does, Glass can go to.

No I agree 100% I just think Crean's ego doesn't get that. The shape Mizzou is in now than Painter's talks are a lot different too. It probably does absolutely nothing for him towards IU. Doesn't mean he thinks that.

I just feel like it should be obvious that Tom Crean isn't coming back by now. There's still some uncertainty in all this. We could go from having billy Donovan to still having Crean next year and it's sad

Heeey off topic but I lived at 323 S Grant one year. About 04-05.

 

Back on topic. What a weird season it's been. Five months ago I was convinced we were a top ten team.

Cool!

If Crean's back IU basketball takes a hit it's not getting up from.

Another day of silence from Glass should be all the proof necessary.  If he were coming back, they would already have the extension negotiated and we'd have had the 'kiss and hugs' press conference.  If he were coming back, this extended period of uncertainty would have been eliminated so as not to impact recruiting of the likes of Tucker and Mark Smith and calm any concerns from our signed LOI's.

This is my biggest fear. This next hire, or lackthereof, is critical to IU's elite status moving forward. If we mess it up or retain Crean the damage will be irreversible imo.

He's not going to cry and sulk in a public setting. He's playing the part of a professional in an intensely visible setting which is what anyone should do and I'm sure his agent is advising to do so. Any slip or notice of breaking in adversity and that could be used against at future jobs as being a liability.

Like everyone else, I want this thing to be over and questions answered.

That Twitter account probably logs the same IP address as Doyel's work PC

This. Glass sure let Crean's name go through the ringer to not publicly voice some support by now.

But like people have stated, you don't always have to give an extension. Example Sean Miller. I do understand what you're saying though

Fred Glass has failed to make IU relevant in Basketball or Football.

In his defense, I think everyone has made IU irrelevant on football for the most part

3000 followers on Twitter is legit as well

Billy sayin to everyone, "Quit sayin he is coming back!!!!!!!"

[Bowhunter 2,851]

Can someone get on there and tell him why Crean sucks. How he doesn't have good leadership and his players don't either.

The signs of apathy showed up this season and they'll just keep getting worse if Crean is back next year, imo. Bringing Crean back would show the fans that Glass is all talk and doesn't care about IU being an elite program. About all we've got going for us these days is our fan base, and if they stopped caring I think IU would become a dead program. I know I won't waste my time being an IU fan if Glass keeps Crean. No point in hoping for a program to be elite when those in charge let you know they have no interest.

Retaining crean would be the death blow and yes irreversible.

He's the same coach he was 9 years ago. Did you expect him to change?

FIRE HIM! This is embarrassing
 

 

Where is the "love" button.  So accurate.  The problems the team had 9 years ago are the same problems this team has.  Poor shot selection, turnovers, lack of movement....  When we have superior talent, we can overcome those things.  When we don't....
