Maybe, maybe not but it wouldn't suprise me. Others over there tend to believe it's true. I don't know why goodman would say it if he didn't know something. Let's be honest crean isn't exactly settling the world on fire and it's not getting any better for him

If Crean is gone, I don't think I can deliberately tune in another IU game. Go Cats!!

I know we laugh because Crean is Crean and we want him there forever.. but I really don't know who they are going to get. Crean is a weird guy.. a really weird guy.. but he's a pretty solid coach. Not sure IU can do better at this point.
They definitely cannot do better. He is the perfect coach for that program. He is better than those fans deserve.

Why would crean step down voluntarily when he has a $4 million buyout right now?

It doesn't reduce to $1 million until July I think.

I think IUsedtobe is stuck with him unless they want to wait until the summer.

As bad as I'd hate to see it, I think any number of coaches could have IU back to prominence pretty quickly. All you have to do is be an above average bench coach and get some of the instate talent to stick around each year, and you have a perennial top 10-15 team.

We've actually been fortunate that IU has managed to screw this up as bad as they have the last few decades. It shouldn't have been possible.

I couldn't believe, for a minute, he would step down. Have you ever heard this guy in a press conference, or watched his mannerisms during a game?
I know this has been reported as untrue, but there is no way he would ever do that on his own volition.

Same Tom Crean who I love to hate, and to make general fun of, is also the guy who coached the team that dispatched UK from NCAA Tournament last year, no? Hate him, but some respect have to give him.
