Interesting. The writer of the article believes that he is out if the Indiana fans can come up with the money to buy him out. I did not realize that during the season he has been booed when he is introduced before games by a certain percentage of the Indiana fans.Archie Miller, come on down ...

Doyel: Tom Crean's fate no longer in Tom Crean's hands
Are IU fans disappointed enough to raise the $11 million needed to pay for his buyout?
"Creaning" is a thing. It's an insult, it's a verb, it's a way of life for Indiana basketball. It's the way the Hoosiers roster turns over almost every year, magically if you want to be naïve about it, with IU coach Tom Crean somehow finding a way to fit 14 or 15 scholarship athletes into the 13-player maximum. How does he do that?
Players leave early. Some for the NBA. Some transfer. Some academically. Some just quit.
Creaning. Google it. It's a word being used by Illinois fans, Michigan fans, Purdue fans, even Indiana fans. It's a word on UrbanDictionary.com: The practice of pulling a scholarship from a college athlete(s) in order to open up a scholarship for a more highly valued recruit.
Creaning is a thing, and it's an unsavory thing, and it's a reason — but just one reason, and not even the biggest reason — that Tom Crean is near the point where his future at Indiana is out of his hands.
Assuming he hasn't reached that point already.
Some would say he reached that point Tuesday night at Assembly Hall, where the Hoosiers — where Crean — were booed off the court by the few thousand IU fans who bothered to watch all 40 minutes of a 77-63 blowout loss to Iowa. Some would say? No need to hide behind a field of straw men. I'll say it myself:
Crean no longer has control over his future at Indiana.

They have 2 commits for 2015 (#17 PF **** Juwon Morgan, #?? SF *** Ogugua Anunoby) and nothing else. That bodes well for the future
No, haven't ever heard anything around these parts.Is there something between Dan Dakich and Tom Crean?
No, haven't ever heard anything around these parts.
He mentioned on the telecast that people need to slow down on the Fire Crean craze- citing that 2 years ago they climbed to #1 and made back-to-back Sweet 16's. That said, Dakich is hard on every one and he doesn't back down from criticizing his alma mater, so he's vocally disagreed with Tommy's coaching plenty of times.
