This is the first of two lists regarding Tom Crean and the future of the Indiana Basketball program. Tomorrow’s will provide a list or reasons coach Tom Crean should be retained. Today’s enumerates the reasons a change should be made. There have been no NCAA compliance or academic issues to fuel talk of a need […]
by Kent Sterling It’s odd how quickly the season transitions to the offseason after that final disappointing game, and last night’s game in Memphis against the Grizzlies certainly qualifies as disappointing.
