TOM CREAN FIRED

Crean just denied interest in Mizz job... "I want to put that to rest"

Article from Indy Star

http://www.indystar.com/story/sports/college/indiana/2017/03/09/indiana-hoosiers-tom-crean-leaving-missouri/98957236/

Relevant part...

"No, that's not true," Crean told Doyel as he was preparing his Hoosiers for Thursday's Big Ten tournament game. "I'm doing nothing but coaching this team.

"Normally, I don't comment on my job or any other open job, or on any speculation at all — and going forward, this is the only time I will do it, here to you — but I want to put that to rest. I'm coaching my team. I love coaching here."

It's a question of semantics.  Crean isn't doing the talking to Mizzou; his agent is so technically he has what politicians love - plausible deniability.

I just can't see crean wanting to be here after this year it will almost certainly hurt his coaching career imo.

The vitriol from fans would be on another level. I think he knows this and experienced it during the northwestern game. If he's back, I'll be extremely surprised

This will be interesting. Crean poses as a man of ultimate integrity. This blanket denial would be a flat out lie if he moves on after the season.

UNLESS Fred fires him.

I don't think he specifically denied anything but provided roundabout vague answers.

It is very telling that Glass denied being interviewed. I think the decision has been made barring a miracle.

Or it means Glass has read some of Doyel's junk, and simply doesn't even want to be in the same room with him.

If that is the case, good choice I'd say.

A loss tonight followed by a Friday 4:59 pm press release by Fred Glass?

Just for the sake of not wanting to have to wait any longer to see what happens and who we end up getting as a replacement, I'd say let's hope so. Other than that, if we for sure know Crean is gone and if he himself knows he is gone, I'd like to see the players win some games. If we know that Crean winning the tournament won't buy him another year then heck..

I would personally like to see him fired after the BTT. That way we can have at least one home game to cheer and give these players the recognition they deserve and not have animosity towards them for actually winning a game and possibly keeping CTC's job.
