Crean.

[Robcatt24]

Some strong rumors that Indiana is having a press conference at 5 to announce his dismissal.

 

[David Rice]

 

[RogerIndy]

Nooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Calsthebomb]

Nooooooooo. He was a perfect fit. Another five years he'd have it turned around.

 

[MiketheKid]

CBSSports reporting a University Release is being sent out now!!!

 

[NCukcat62]

No just no. My heart is broken

 

[DS849]

wouldn't it be something if he ended up in the SEC?

 

[Cats192]

All over Twitter. He gone.

As I understand it, IU basketball is back.

 

[o_Ricky]

After all the sweet 16 rings he brought them. Some programs are just ungrateful.

 

[blubo]

All over Twitter. He gone.

As I understand it, IU basketball is back.

Yeah, back ten years.

 

[KWilt43atbuzz]

Crean to be a salesman for clapper lamps and other accessories ....

 

[al.ksr]

RIP Crean

 

[Indyadolph]

Damn it !!!!

And here I thought the Loosiers were about to "turn the corner" under his leadership.

 

[KY Long Rifle_rivals381398]

Kind of surprised they announced today. Actually, I thought he was going to get another season, but guess not.

I didnt think Mardi Gras could get any cooler, but I'm picturing Tom Cream dressed in bright yellow and purple tossing beads from a float. Now thats cooler than Miles Davis. He's a perfect fit for LSU.

 

[RogerIndy]

Let's hope he lands at NC State. I would hate to think that LSU would be stupid enough to hire that clown!

 

[UKUGA]

I bet that guy who yelled at him last Friday is high-fiving himself right about now.

 

[BBUK_anon]

Sigh....a ten year set back if true!!!

 

[Cats192]

Hearing the AD told him in person and Crean kissed him on the lips saying he understood.

 

[akaukswoosh]

So they were willing to give him $3 mil to leave and not wait till July 1.

 

[RogerIndy]

wouldn't it be something if he ended up in the SEC?

NO!!! We only want good coaches in the SEC! Let NC State hire him!

 

[throatpoker]

Never heard of him

 

[Blueblood410]

Indiana, you're going down a path I can't follow!

 

[TortElvisII]

I hope IU gets someone much worse.

 

[specialkd24_rivals116121]

Can't believe some national media are shocked by this.

9 years and he can't get past the Sweet 16? I know IU was in bad shape when he took over, but so was Kentucky when Cal took over and it took one summer for him to turn it around.

Crean probably would have been fired earlier had it not been for Christian Watford's shot to beat us, and his win over Kentucky last year.

Outside his one year with Dwyane Wade (one of the top NBA players of all-time), he has never really accomplished anything in the postseason.

 

[TheDude73]

This quick of an announcement might mean IU has their eyes on someone or several candidates already. Would love the speculation on Alford to be enough to distract UCLA!

 

[G-PIP]

Brad Stevens is no doubt furiously working all the back channels to insure he lands the dream job that is IU.

 

[gossie21_rivals69805]

They should act immediately and scoop up either Johnny Jones or Lorenzo Romar. Those guys know how to build a team the Right Way (tm).

 

[JulesCamara=GOD]

He gon

 

[BurpinTurpin_rivals209459]

NOOO!! He got them to the NIT!! They beat Kansas and some other team!! What more do they want??!!

 

[GLR5555]

Sigh....a ten year set back if true!!!

They'd be set back so far, the 3pt line doesn't exist.

 

[HICATFAN]

He can go to California....yeah!!!

IU folks said "Clappy" move away from here, California is the place to be...so he loaded up his truck and moved to Beverly...Hills that is...:joy:

AlohaCat

 

[MdWIldcat55]

This is a delicate moment. Most likely Indiana will screw this up and the 30 years of ineptitude will continue. But there is always a chance that in a stroke of pure luck, like Duke hiring an obscure Army coach with a mediocre record, they'll get someone competent.

Let's hope not. The most obnoxious fan base in the history of sports has been mostly subdued by failure for three decades. That needs to continue.

 

[Anon1658882690]

So they were willing to give him $3 mil to leave and not wait till July 1.

Was either this or save 2 mil and not get any coach in July I'd say..

At least he can stay orange without the use of tanning beds or Creams...

 

[SilentsAreGolden]

Ingrates!

Kill two bird's with one stone. Great point.

Ya I for one am sad to see Crean go. Seriously, he was the best player on our team. As long as Crean was at Indiana, you knew that Indiana wasn't going to be a "regular" top contender.

 

[KT34]

IU fans at work believe they are getting Billy Donovan. I just keep laughing at them.
