TOM CREAN FIRED

[bigrod 2,848]

Did I hear correctly that they first came out and said we wouldn't play at home due to renovations, and then almost immediately came back and said spring break? WTH???

Just took down this year's poster schedule from my office wall due to overwhelming disappointment and embarrassment.  What has this program come to?  When will it stop?

Espn u said renovations then somewhere else said spring break. This lie needs to be answered for. How do are players feel being sent 9 hours away to play in a gym where every time i seen us play we get crushed. Unacceptable

We need a press conference to be called one way or the other

This is an embarrassment guys. Not only to us as fans, but to the program. Never did I think we would have people this disconnected and disinterested in our program. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. A change needs to be made or else I fear our stands will be empty next year. One would think that Fred can see this coming. But then again he has had me and many of us scratching our heads lately.

I think that's why he asked if you were serious.

There are plenty.  Pretty sure Greg Marshall never played CBB for example.

I think he's like one of three. Not sure Weber played cbb either, but I think he had an actual reason and could have played if he wanted to. 

Crean on the other hand barely played high school basketball. Yes, you read that correctly. I'm fairly certain he didn't play beyond his freshmen year.

Gregg Marshall played for Randolph-Macon. Div III school

They moved the game so crean wouldn't get booed at home. After NIT is over glass will announce crean is staying and that will give fans whole off season to cool off.

Good luck with that! I'm so cooled off I'm frigid! I think many have become apathetic. Who wants to settle for slightly above average? I'm to old to settle for "maybe someday". What Glass seems to be willing to settle for is pathetic.

Didn't know that.  I guess I should've Googled it first! 

[GloryDays 5,913]

Maybe Crean has been let go and the assistants will coach at GT.Fred trying to sheild his buddy from embarrassment.Not much crazier than any of the other theories.

Note to myself.
Never post at 1am after heavy consumption.

Cronin and Few could have but their careers were cut short because of injuries.

I dont want to settle either. I'm just trying to figure out the reasoning behind his decision and that is all I could come up with

What would make you guys happier? To wake up tomorrow morning and find out that Crean has been dismissed? Or...to wake up tomorrow morning and see Margot Robbie laying beside you?


Tough question.

Emma Watson, simple.  If that happened I wouldn't give a crap who the IU coach was.

[Stromboli 6,076]

Just weighing in/doing my duty as a forum member to get this thing to 1K.  

We've noted some weird stuff going on.  Giving up a home game?  That's just unprecedented.  Home court advantage is an asset we have.  There is no way that Glass doesn't appreciate that giving up the home game has repercussions.  In my opinion, he would not have taken such a step unless we are already in the realm of the extraordinary.  Unfortunately, missing the NCAA tournament no longer qualifies as extraordinary.  But an imminent coaching change sure would.

I'm not celebrating any of this.  The whole situation stinks.  IU has become a punchline since the IPFW loss.  Our players committed to the jersey, and they are spending their college days on this underperforming $#!+ show.  We just wasted one of those rare years where you seemingly have the elements for a deep run.  We have recruits and young players wondering what the heck is going on.  And we have a fanbase that sees a disconnect between their expectations and those of the university.

These next couple weeks/months will include a few coaching announcements, reports of which players are leaving, and really just a picture of what the Hoosiers will be next.  In my estimation Fred Glass has taken his job seriously with a measured approach up until now.  Because I view the current actions as extraordinary, I believe that Mr. Glass will continue to act consistent with his past actions.  The evidence is there now that the measured approach means we replace the coach in an attempt to improve the success of the program.

I'm rambling.  I still hope we drop a 20 pt win on GT tomorrow.  Go Hoosiers.

[HoosierCoop 3,889]

If you were a top recruit, would you want to play for an N.I.T. team?

Not even close on exposure...this little stumble has set us back even more.  This is more than just missing the tournament!

Glass has to realize this.
