by Kent Sterling It’s easy to pile on Indiana Basketball coach Tom Crean given the Hoosiers losing streak, 3-13 conference record and the apparent continuation of Indiana’s run of seasons without a postseason appearance.

At some point soon (2015 and beyond), fans and players will deserve more and better. Indiana athletic director Fred Glass has a lot on his plate. Making sure that the athletes at IU […]
