Galen and Scott host a giddy CrimsonCast as we break down the Archie Miller hire, evaluate the now-completed IU basketball coaching search, and answer a cavalcade of listener questions. This podcast is obscenely long and we don’t care. Hope you enjoy it.
We’re joined by Bloomington Herald-Times beat writer Mike Miller, as we talk about the Crean era at IU. Mike talks about his experiences on the beat covering Crean, the disconnect between the coach’s plan and the execution of that plan, and what lasting impact Crean had on the program. We also get into the coaching search, talk about some candidates, and discuss what a new coach could do to bridge the gap between the basketball program and the fan base.
A re-airing of our podcast from immediately after Tom Crean was fired. Many of you may have missed this podcast the first time around. (P.S. I’m also testing some new software to try and fix the “no pause problem” that some users have experienced).
The Tom Crean era went for nine years at Indiana, and Dustin Dopirak was the Bloomington Herald-Times beat writer during the heart of that era. He joins us on this episode of CrimsonCast to talk about his perspective on covering Crean at IU, the struggles the program had under Crean with putting the finishing touches on a return to national prominence, and the direction that IU and Fred Glass might chart moving forward. We also talk about potential coaching candidates, including an in-depth conversation on the profiles of Steve Alford and Tony Bennett.

Galen is joined by Sam Beishuizen of TheHoosier.com to talk about his reaction to the firing of Tom Crean.

Galen is joined by Zach Osterman, IU insider for the Indy Star, to talk about Tom Crean’s firing, the past nine years of IU basketball, the status of the Indiana men’s basketball position, and what’s next for IU and for Tom Crean.

It’s day two of the interregnum for IU basketball, and we’re still trying to get our heads wrapped around the firing of Tom Crean. Scott and Galen sit down and look back at the Crean era, talk about what went wrong, and evaluate where we are as IU fans in the aftermath.
