That term gets thrown around so much that it almost has its own agenda. The IU admin runs from confrontation just to protect someones feelings and that is the same narrative that has been pushed by all the political elites for the last twenty years.

Being mocked and analyzed about every move you make has to get old, because he never does anything positive. At what point does pride become ignorance? because he is an ego-maniacal pr*^k.

He has to be if he still thinks that a few early season wins against Houston Baptist and Southern Illinois Edwardsville will make things better. He has to be if he thinks Riley would have a good experience on campus. He has to be if he thinks next Xmas break will sell tickets, and that people won't immediately re-visit the NIT home game give-away when we are half empty. He has to be if he thinks Hoosier Hysteria will be anything other than a yawner next fall. Class of '66 Old Fart, RobPoff, Napleshoosier and 1 other 4 Quote
IUHAHN81 Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 If Glass and IU keep Crean through all of this garbage that is being called IUBB, it's painfully obvious that as long as Glass is AD, Tom Crean will be HIS basketball coach but I won't consider him mine that's for sure! Quote

IUHAHN81 Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 Any coach that worries more about deflections than keeping his 5 star Center in the damn post where he belongs needs not be IU's bball coach! ElectricBoogaloo, ThompsonHoosier, Napleshoosier and 4 others 7 Quote

Not sure I see a vote happening on any official level. I tend to agree with you, but our leadership is obviously messed up like a soup sandwich. If Glass wants him to stay and enough trustees want him gone then that could be what is calling a vote. Maybe they are letting the boosters vote to see exactly how this will impact them financially? Again, these are all just guesses on my part. Redandyz 1 Quote

JSHoosier Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 10 hours ago, Dizz said: I actually spoke with Buckner a few weeks ago. He was more than willing to talk about the Paul George trade drama, but IU he was more reserved. He was fairly neutral and said, "Everyone wants to blame Crean, and I'm not defending him, but injuries did effect them in a big way." For what its worth. No he isn't a regular connection of mine. This season was circling the drain before the injuries, so that's not an excuse. The injuries just made it go down the drain faster. 2 hours ago, reconmkd said: Just had a conversation with a pUKe fan about the fire CTC situation. He said I don't blame the fans at all for wanting him gone. It's Indiana, one of the historic programs, you all gave him 9 years! Hell look at us we fired Gillespie and Smith for not meeting the standard and they didn't get near the time CTC got. Top programs expect to finish near the top at least a final four! In all honesty, this was an eye opening experience for me! To actually hold a civil conversation with a pUKe fan about IU and not getting trashed for being an IU fan! I hope this is a good sign of things to come today! I've heard a pUKe fan say IU deserves better than Crean. reconmkd, Napleshoosier, thebigweave and 1 other 4 Quote
Adillac Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 After watching the latest postgame comments from Crean- he has always and continues to just totally rely on the metric of "shots falling", particularly from 3pt land. When his teams shoot really well from 3 they succeed, when they don't they lose, a lot. Safe to say that most well coached teams do really well when they shoot a high % from 3 but they also do pretty well when they don't because they 1) play good D 2) don't turn the ball over 3) work for good shots inside the arc.....Crean teams do none of the 3 in consecutive games. smh.

Hoosier Guy Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 I still think he's gone. But if Fred somehow does the unforgivable, his @$$ can go too Quote
mark1981 Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 I've heard a pUKe fan say IU deserves better than Crean.I think about 90% of the bball world gets it. The media and IU administration need to catch up.Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using BtownBanners mobile app reconmkd 1 Quote
IUrocker Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 Ugggh...you would think that with all the noise that has been going on the past week especially, that if Glass was indeed intending on keeping Crean that he would have come out and said something by now, but since he hasn't then hopefully thay means something. Then if there really was a meeting with the boosters, it was just to discuss "ok guys, I'm letting him go, this other guy is on board but he's only going to come if we have this to give him. Let's get something worked out and make it happen." Chris Nieman 1 Quote
Trish Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 Still not yet fired? Ugh. What more evidence do you need to fire him?Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Quote
Dalton26 Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 My gut is telling me Crean will be back, I hope I'm wrong. RobPoff, VO5 and HooHooHoo22 3 Quote
