There's not much we can do as fans but we can at least voice our displeasure. Here is the one I sent.

Fix your third rate basketball program or resign. How can you only now, after 7 years, lay out the expectations of the program? And you've seen his track record, he can't meet them.

Now we have not one but 2 Big Ten teams in the final four while your program is an after thought. A has been.

Did you here the MSU players after their victory today? 'This is why we came here'. Players used to say that about Indiana. Do the right thing and bring in a top flight coach who knows how to build a program.

I'm certain that Glass will appreciate the misspellings and usage of incorrect words (here vs hear).

It's the same reason I immediately walk away from most KY fans when they try and make a point. Grammar saves lives people!

Meanwhile, their team is about to go undefeated and win number 9.

C'mon folks. Here's your chance to actually be heard and no one is biting on this? lol

[hoosierpap 14,300]

Fred doesn't care about $100 donors, he released that to the press lol

[TheWatShot 13,695]

He'll probably just delete them all, but at least we'll be in his head.

He came out spitting the FIRE!

Make sure the grammar girl scouts proof read your e-mail first. Could save your life. SMH.

If I was the AD of a highly rated University I would be more beholden to alumni than fans. That said, I'd assume alums are capable of writing a coherent email.

If I was the AD of a highly rated University I would be beholden to alumni and fans alike. There I fixed it for you.

Concerned about our future 

 

Hello Mr. Glass,

 

I am deeply concerned about the future of our basketball program. Far be it from me to tell you how to do your job, but I really don't think you're best served by continuing to employ Coach Crean. He's a tireless worker and I'm sure he's given you everything he can, but his style of coaching and program management isn't going to help Indiana reach the level of teams that are still playing. 

 

 

Look at Michigan State, Wisconsin, Louisville, Arizona, and Kentucky among others. Indiana used to be no worse than on par with those programs. Not anymore. Sean Miller has won 69 games in the last two seasons. John Calipari is at 67 going into next weekend. We've won 37 in the same timeframe. What's wrong with this picture? 

 

 

Remember when Billy Gillespie coached at Kentucky? He went 40-27 in his two seasons there with a first round NCAA loss and an NIT appearance. Compare that to Crean's last two seasons: 37-29, first round NCAA loss and no postseason at all one year. That wasn't good enough at Kentucky. Why is it good enough here? 

 

 

In 16 years of coaching, Coach Crean has taken a team beyond the Sweet 16 only once. His teams have finished fifth or worse in conference play as many times as they've finished fifth or higher. I don't know about you, but that doesn't give me a lot of confidence going forward. 

 

 

Please, please make a change before it's too late. I've been a fan my whole life but I'm not sure I can handle another year of watching other programs outperform us while we sit at home and wonder what needs to happen to reach their level. 

 

Sincerely,

(my name)

Eh, I could care less about the grammar police. I wrote this post on my phone while riding in a car. The point was instead of everyone just complaining on message boards, direct it at someone who can actually do something about it.

Is that too Kentucky like? Maybe but I hear that they have pretty high expectations for their basketball program.

I don't think Glass bases anything off of E-Mails.

He responds to them at times. Agree he may not care, i have no idea

He, or a secretary?

I suspect that even donors are in his ear. But not making an impact. Or maybe it is? We dont know how Glass really feels.

I've read several posts from UK fans stating they were one more season with having Gillespie to becoming what IU is now. UK made its change at its breaking point.
