Indiana athletics director Fred Glass envisions a "golden age" for the Hoosiers.

"We sit here 0-4 in the Big Ten on the day of the interview," Glass said specifically of the school's basketball team.

"That's not where anybody wants to be. In terms of having the right coach, we absolutely do. I love Tom Crean. He's doing all the things the right way. Lesser coaches would have let some of the knuckleheads around a little longer to make the fall not quite so precipitous. He did the right thing. He cleaned house. It was a house that needed to be cleaned. He's building it back up the right way. He's got quality kids. They're doing well academically. The record will catch up with that. Next year we'll be even more improved. I think it's going the right way. Hoosier Nation is sticking with us. With the records we've had, to still be killing it attendance-wise, is a great tribute to Indiana basketball and the people who have supported it through the years."

The Hoosiers are 10-8 and are currently 1-4 in the Big Ten.
