The longer this goes on without an announcement, the more likely it is that I go insane.

That's probably how a lot of us feel. I hope the guy tweeting out there will be an announcement Monday is correct.

Not just a problem here. Its a problem all over college basketball. I just don't see role players being that big of a senior leader.

Nick was a leader for this years team right?

Perhaps you don't even have to be a leader though. Our youth has been a heavily used reason for our struggles the last two years. Having experienced guys leave seemingly every year recently (Roth, creek Hollowell and Remy) are hurting our ability to perform at a higher level.

I keep checking this thread and others for news on crean leaving and am now getting worried we may be stuck with him another season. I need to start getting mentally prepared as it is going to be a long year

This is true. Another year of this crap is hard to fathom right now.

[Feathery 4,005]

If he stays picture Assembly Hall and hear crickets chirping!

I've already stopped going to games. I refuse to go back until Crean is gone or he can prove to have sustained success, which won't happen.

I'm sorry but that's just sad. I wish I had the opportunity to go to games and not going to support our team because you disagree with our coach is pathetic.

 

I hope you at least sold your tickets to someone else

There have been a lot of empty seats since the iowa game of last year.

But yeah go ahead and call me pathetic. I support a program, not an individual team. I'm not happy with the way the program is run/handled. Why would I waste money on that?
It would be like going and seeing a movie, not liking the movie, then going and seeing it 6-7 more times in a 5 month span. Then doing it again the next year, the year after that, etc. That would be just stupid.

LOL, I'll do you one better. I didnt go to any games this year. I'm waiting for the sequel.

So if Crean comes back, and we don't land TB or Thon. We're pretty much looking at probably a second game in the tourney, maybe a Sweet Sixteen. Yay?

I'd agree with this...or it could mean that the silence is a good thing, we haven't heard Glass make any announcements of another contract extension yet. Really though if we don't hear anything mid-week we're screwed.

What? Without Yogi,too? We may not even make the NIT next season.

Yogi ain't leaving - 2nd rounder at best and I suspect his stock will go down when teams get official measurements.

Nah. This assumes we have no big departures. Roster still isn't all that great.

Not necessarily. If our coach is still coaching we will have to wait. If Crean is staying I'm sure something come out soon.

Didn't say it was for the NBA.

Let him go to UCLA or somewhere else then. I love him, and all, but we ain't won diddly with him as our lead guy the past 2 years. No single player is above the Program. If he doesn't want to be here, then buh-bye.

Why do you love him?

He's one of the few players on the team with any semblance of testicular fortitude.

Any other reason? That should be a common characteristic amongst upper level d1 players
