TOM CREAN FIRED

[woodenshoemanHoosierfan]

Mike catches more grief than is deserved. He's a pretty good coach. He was just over his head here, and he has admitted as such.

He was on the BTN show A Taste of Coaching and said as much.

Greg Doyel said that he has information that makes him believe that Crean is coming back but can't publically share it.

Followed it up by saying he's not sure. The fact Doyle didn't understand the 4 mill buyout WASNT lump sum, made me lose all credibility for him.

Doyel is a writer, not a reporter. He is paid to write his opinion for what reason, I have no clue. There's something about being an actual reporter, hell or being a forum commentator that does such research as looking at flight tracker or even looking for a specific SUV at an airport. Doyel sticks his head out the window and sniffs the air for his research most of the time.

His name spelling still befuddles me.

Absolutely. Sampson was and is still a great coach. He would definitely be the coach right now had he had his crap together. And IU probably has at least a FF if not two with him over all these years of Crean's tenure

I just cannot accept that either Glass or Crean would be that brazen given the sentiment of a HUGE portion of Hoosier Nation. Unless certain players are not going pro and there is a sleeper 5 star recruit coming ---the risk for a loud and miserable season next year for Glass and Crean is too high. It's time to move on and I still think they will say he is staying until he is gone which will be announced in a few days.

This NIT thing would have been the perfect opportunity to host the game somewhere in Indiana that doesn't get to see IU play much....Fort Wayne, Evansville, South Bend, etc. Most of the attendance would be cheering like crazy for the team because its one of the few opportunities to see them in person.

But we accepted a true road game against a team that is good at home.

Let's be real, no matter how arrogant or how much of a "man" u think u are.  When ur kids get ripped on and u r constantly being heckled by fans, crap is gonna get to u.  I whole heartedly believe Crean wants to move on. The silence is waiting for him to find a new home.  My opinion.  

Thought this for a while. But then again he is so arrogant he may still think he is the answer.

[Alford Bailey]

Should have announced Crean moving on and accepted the home game as a farewell.

Our Mens and Womens basketball are heading to the NIT. Baseball is nosediving. Football was 6-7 last year. Fred Glass is killing it as an AD guys. Absolutely killing it.

I'm not positive on this but I think if you decline to host in your home gym than lower seed gets to. Don't think they let you hold on 'neutral' sites unless your arena is being used or renovated. Again I'm not sure on this but I'm thinking this could be the case.

Guys let's face it, under Fred Glass, we'd suck at pocket pool.

Didn't get the memo? We're a swimming school again. (Now watch Lilly tank it at the NCAA's, sorry)

They probably don't have a rule against it because only Glass is freakin stupid enough to decline a home game.

If we have learned only one thing about Crean over the last nine years, it's that he has to have a LOT of talent to be somewhat successful. With the talent coming back next year, I don't see much improvement. Best case scenario, we are a middle of the pack B1G and bubble NCAA team.

Having said that, I think a good coach could take the talent we have and be more successful. Not saying we win the B1G, but the talent is there to easily get in the tournament.

How much do we want to bet if IU hosted and 3,000 people showed up people would of trashed IU also. I also think IU maybe should of hosted but don't have a strong opinion either way. However, from an IU perspective they were gonna be criticized either way but after game as oppose to before.

And I think they might not let you host at other sites unless your arena is unavailable. Like I said I'm not positive on that but do think that is possible.

In 2010 UNC hosted NIT game in a gym that was not their own....

Disagree. Administration should have lowered prices to fill the building.

Problem solved.

He's brought the bad programs up and the good programs down, so now we're average across the board. The golden age of IU athletics as Freddie himself called it. L.O.L

Yes why did Glass have to make this more difficult? The fans would have shown up to show appreciation and support had this exact scenario happened

[HoosierSadaseci]

We really need this thing to break soon, I can't fathom Crean coaching IU next season, it makes me nauseous.
