TOM CREAN FIRED

[Banksyrules 4,599]

I'm going to get pissed if I see a NIT championship rafter hung up at assembly hall. And yes i know one is already there. It was stupid then and it's stupid now.

I just find it so aggravating to hear media types, particularly those on the national stage, talk about us being unreasonable or impatient.  As much as I dislike UK, they have a goal to be the best and if their coach isn't up to the task, he's replaced.  Rinse and repeat until they got the guy that can deliver up to their expectations.  Once they achieved this (this time with Calipari), all you hear from those same media types is effusive praise and constant worshiping of that program.  To hell with columnists and talking heads, they aren't the ones supporting the university/athletic department...we are.

What the media guys are basically saying is that we aren't elite anymore and that we should be content with this coach because it's the best we can do. That's what I take from it anyway.

Yep, pretty much.  Yet I can guarantee you if we were to get the next great coach and get back to achieving Fred's goals, they'd be right there sucking up.  Just like they do to any winning team or program.

Absolutely right.

So many of them are former coaches, that is the issue. Its a fraternity, and they defend each other like brothers. I couldn't give a crap less what Seth Greensburg feels about Tom Crean, or Andy Katz, or worst of all Vitale who seems to legitimately think Cal is a stand up guy. They aren't fans, deep down they couldn't care less about the state of our program.

Now that almost half of D-1 schools can qualify for the NCAA Tournament, flashing an NIT Banner is just an advertisement for a season gone awry.  

I'll watch tonight's game.  Didn't know I was into S&M, but maybe this proves I have some deep seeded issues.

Any new rumors?  Lol

His results need to result in him leaving, either by his choice or our choice! If he is retained we should stage a protect in front of Assembly Hall. They were cowards to move the game, then we can give the media something to see right in front of the Hall to show our displeasure. I am sure we could get a few thousand people to make the journey. Also, another good idea would be for anyone attending tonight's game to wear a brown paper bag over their head to show displeasure. We need to keep making it uncomfortable for Mr. Glass so he will be forced to act.

Any new rumors?  Lol

A guy over on Peegs who's relative is close with a board member says discussions of a two year extension for recruiting purposes have started up as a backup plan...

The new rumor is Crean added an out of bounds play that sets a screen to get someone open.  Fred's keeping him because he is evolving as a coach.  

[SteelerHoosier 2,586]

Please be joking

This would be beyond awful

[KingPG21 6,583]

99% sure Boot is screwing around with you guys since he knew most would overreact 

[Banksyrules 4,599]

At least we might reach a 1,000 pages?

If that's a joke it's not funny.

Just really trying to do my part here. We can't fail both our program and forum goals. Some of our members would have nothing else to look forward to anymore. It's lonely in Alaska this time of year.

Would Crean be safe with us if he had Wilkes and Waters locked up?

A good recruiting class didn't help John Groce. If we had a great class coming in, it might have helped, but I think we are also seeing his recruiting ceiling as well.
