He doesn't seem to be enjoying the job much this year. I honestly think he'll quit in the next two years and head to the NBA as an assistant before coming back to the NCAAs.

1 second is too long with TT

No.  And anyone who thinks he will hasn't read anything on his massive buy-out.

I think it's been said before, TT's buyout this year is still pretty high (I recall it's somewhere around $4m), but next summer it's a quarter (approximately) of what it is now(approximately $1m).  He might be able to bank another year before moving on.

They won't fire him outright, but there's talk about a buyout settlement that would allow him to leave IU for a new job. Crean can see the writing on the wall, he knows his days in Bloomington are limited. Might be better to leave now under his own terms than getting fired in 12 months.

Anyway it is sliced, it looks like IU is damned to keep him or damned to let him walk--the walk away money will be Brinks Truck like. Have to hand it to his agent, and IU's lunacy.

Says here it's about $10.6M-$11.2M, depending on the complexities of the contract.  

http://www.indystar.com/story/hoosier-insider/2014/12/18/tom-crean-buyout-clause-indiana-hoosiers/20578385/

The un-negotiated amount now is high, but the July 1 onward isn't harsh, as the sliding $7.5M - $4M - $1M scale over the three following years is really his annual salary (probably a little less), so the buyout is essentially the same as paying his salary to keep him for a year then paying the reduced buyout the following year, so the buyout isn't what keeps him in place much longer.

Rick Barnes and Tom Crean sneak into tourney & both lose opening game. Now question becomes whether they will be back at respective schools.

LOL!

Also, makes you wonder if getting rid of Fred Glass will lead to the termination of Crean.

So this scenario is what Buzz Williams was trying to avoid all along: losing the luster.
Too bad, that may also happen to him at VT in a couple of years.

And no recruits will go to IU because they know he won't be around to coach them.  So they will have a mid-major class and then the standard defections that come when he is eventually let go. When the dust settles on this, it will be 2009 - 2011 all over again, fight for 12th place in the B1G for a few years as they rebuild.

If you want an example of this, see MU.

Did he then accuse the guy of ruining the basketball program?

Maybe TT can hold out 2 more years until Buzz decides to split for VT and can take over IU.

One of my wife's coworkers here in LV is an Indiana fan.  He said one of the rumors circulating is Crean leaving I4 for Alabama. (?)
