All over the national writers/talking heads is this notion that Indiana fans are these unreasonable rubes who just don't appreciate Tom Crean. Crean did a fine job and one that we appreciate.  Bu

Just remember that Indiana will regret their poor handling of this situation. Just remember what you said about Tom Crean. Don't forget what you said. Don't forget the vitriol you spewed. We'll see where that gets Indiana.

Well i guess you do know alot about college basketball coaching.

I agree, IU handled the situation poorly.  He should've been kicked to the curb two years ago.

Not a troll. I am 100% of the belief that Archie Miller was a wonderful hire. I also think Tom Crean did not deserve to be fired. Fan outcry is misguided. He's an easy target. He will have success at a school that appreciates his success and works to support his program, rather than holding a ghost over his head.

The vitriol some of you display is disgusting. He saved this basketball program. Indiana, as fans, did not deserve the man.

Call me in 6 years. Do you really think Archie will have multiple Big Ten titles by then? What if he fails to advance past the S16? Gonna fire him, too?

No one held a "ghost over his head".  Everyone appreciates that he took the job when no one else wanted it, but that is not and should not be a permanent excuse.

People expected to win consistently, he didn't.  He was paid to win consistently, build a perennial contender, make deep runs and hang a banner.  He failed miserably at that and that is why he was fired.  He was given plenty of time.  At no point in the last 9 years, or his 18 year career, did he ever look in the mirror and realize he needed to improve; instead he made excuses and threw his players under the bus at every opportunity.  Yes, he deserved what happened and it should've happened two years ago.

Miller was hired to do what Crean had proven he couldn't and wouldn't do, if he shows he's not capable he should be fired as well.

So it sounds like you want us to be Purdue? This is Indiana, sweet 16's and missing the tournament every other year isn't good enough and it's about damn time we get back to that. Crean was here much longer than he should have been. Schools like UNC, Kansas, Duke etc etc would've fired him years before we did. That man was an ******* whether people believe it or not. As far as him being gone? Good riddance.

Why is it okay for other programs to fire multiple coaches until they get the right guy and start winning but not Indiana?
