Jeff Goodman ‏@GoodmanESPN  31m31 minutes ago
Rick Barnes and Tom Crean sneak into tourney & both lose opening game. Now question becomes whether they will be back at respective schools.

I'm not sure if it comes from the MU days or because he lives in Buzz Williams' back pocket but Goodman has been jabbing Crean hard for a long time. This particular season he has implied after every Indiana loss that Crean could be gone.

Then again, Goodman is the same guy who one year ago said Mike Hopkins was Marquette's #1 option and they'd be silly to pass on each other.

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.

On the IU boards they reference a resignation. Pure speculation by me, but a resignation to me would signal a negotiated buyout at a reduced cost in exchange for not being straight up fired.

But who would they hire? I'd give him a last year if I was IU. Why not. Even though he's a jag off.

Here's the TRUTH on the buyout:

ADDITIONAL INSIGHT ON TOM CREAN AND HIS CONTRACT WITH INDIANA

It's currently AT LEAST $11.1MM.
Thanks for ruining summer, Canada.

Pretty shrewd for Joanie to get that deal for her hubby. The morons at IU have what they deserve with that type of deal.

Yeah,... the deal didn't sound as bad when Glass lied about it. But after a couple of years the masses started to figure it out.

As the horn sounded, Tom Crean looked at official Kipp Kissinger (Nebraska native) across the floor and said, "You suck."



Crean is beneath contempt. Horrible human being.
At Marquette he berated a Memphis fan and commented on the looks of his wife. The irony!!

If Indiana fired Crean before June 30, it would owe him at least $10.6 million. After July 1, that payout drops to $7.5 million.


IU fans will have to suffer another year of TC.

Again, negotiate the buyout. If Alabama really wants Crean, IU could offer to pay $7M and Alabama could give a $2M signing bonus. Crean gets to leave and gets a bigger buyout than if he were fired next year, Indiana gets to move on while paying less than his buyout for next year. Alabama gets the big name coach with rebuild experience they want.

Indiana fans are as delusional as the Tennessee fans.  A 10 seed, AT LEAST a $11.2mm buyout, and the new recruits get to wear clown pants.  Every coach in America is lining to coach in Btwon.  II! II!

I find it interesting seeing people say that they never wanted Crean at IU in the first place.  I saw someone make point that Crean had Wade at Marquette and didn't really do that much.  That's what we have been saying here since probably 2005 during the second NIT appearance after the Wade era.

I don't know about anyone else, but I remember ZERO IU people being skeptical about Crean back in 2008.  Maybe some were, but most people's tone was that this guy would take IU back to the National Championship.  He'd make them forget Bobby Knight.  There were a lot of condescending comments about how "if Crean can win at a school like Marquette, well then imagine what he can do at IU."   If there were skeptics about Crean, they didn't get much attention.

Now, I don't think anyone would trade the Buzz era for Crean's IU era.

I don't think anyone at IU would trade the Crean IU years for the Buzz MU years.

Crean walked into a bad situation and deserves credit for building up the program. Crean did have a No. 1 ranking with Olidapu and Zeller, but they flamed out in the Sweet 16. Made Sweet 16 one other time but that was it. Basically a .500 record and missed the tourney a handful of times.  Actually this year was the only year IU made it other than those Sweet 16 runs. 3 tourney bids in 7 years.

Buzz took MU to 3 straight Sweet 16s and a Elite 8 within that run. We missed NCAAs last year, but other than that Buzz (love him or hate him) had us rolling into the tourney every year for 5 straight years.

As long as Izzo and Bo are hanging around, Tommy may never again finish better than third in that conference.
