Sunday night announcement doesn't seem right? Stories don't usually break like that on a Sunday night do they?



It's a big news night with it being Selection Sunday. Monday would be more likely for something like that I'd imagine though.

Crean deserves a TON of credit for what he's done and I hope no fan hates Crean. He dug us out of the crap hole Sampson put us in and actually did make us relevant again. I, for one, will always have massive amounts of respect for Crean because of what he did. I know everyone wanted him to be the guy to win championships and be here forever but it just isn't unfolding like that.

The problem is he hasn't been able to sustain success and it's pretty clear we've seen the best of Crean and his best can't get past the Sweet 16. He's had damn good teams, he's had time but things are regressing - it's time for a change. Thank you, Tom Crean but that'll do. 

I also hope that if Crean ever ends up on an opponents bench in Assembly Hall that he's greeted with a standing ovation - he deserves it. 


I was going to post something similar, but you said it better.

A quick thought on the "Crean deserves credit" line of thought.  What Crean deserves is the nearly 30 million dollars that he has been paid under contract.  If the point is that people shouldn't hate Crean after he leaves, I would argue that no one should be hated for being a bad coach.  KS deserves to be derided not because he was a cheater at Indiana, but because he was a cheater in general.  If Crean comes back to Assembly Hall he should be applauded, but Crean didn't make some self sacrificial move to "save" Indiana basketball.  He took a higher paying job at a better company.  He deserves a fair look at his tenure at IU.  His work has been done with integrity, which I should appreciate, but its also something that we should all expect.
