I nearly started a whole new thread, with a thread title of : ROMEO ANNOUNCES ! But I thought that would be cruel and unusual punishment.

Those visits to VU and KU are getting farther and farther in the past. I’d still like to see him make it to the campus one more time, just to be able to take everything in.

Artesian_86 Posted March 12, 2018 Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 I am so embarrassed just reading it. Who ever coach Crean is texting, it is just straight CREEPY! If I am Trey or whoever, I'm like, " This is what I would want my girlfriend to send me, not a coach!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McDonald's is March 28. And I believe Romeo has to be in Atlanta by the 26th. NA could absolutely lose this weekend and Romeo is on spring break March 26-30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoInHoosier25 Posted March 12, 2018 Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 New Albany school system is on a balanced school calendar. They have a 2 week spring break. The 19th is a snow make up day so their spring break starts on March 20th and they return to school on April 2nd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was this ever confirmed? I always thought it was about a recruit in Colorado. Since it was sent just after a shooting out there, it makes much more sense.

BGleas Posted March 12, 2018 Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 Was Crean's tweet/DM weird? Sure. But it's really only weird when you have absolutely no context, which none of us do. Maybe it was to a recruit he had a heart-to-heart convo with the weekend before? Who knows. Maybe the kids grandmother passed away and the kid opened up to Crean about it. We have no idea. Again, a sort of weird message to put on social media and it makes him an easy target, but we have no context whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just know the timing was similar to when Lyles decommitted... the Colorado idea would make sense of his posture and tone in the tweet I think...also makes fans of other schools who make fun of the moment looks like real jack asses...

I disagree, the "a whole lot" portion was just plain creepy no matter the context. Crean is a really nice guy, but he was always doing strange things that made us looks silly (ie screaming at a Michigan assistant after winning the conference title). Not sure where this "dine on drama" stuff is coming from about our fanbase. The majority of our fanbase is very intelligent and has the right to want a coach who has the common sense not to do these types of things.

To me.... Crean detractors.... mostly on non IU fan boards, made the most of the tweet. For me, I took it in a completely non controversial way. He was just getting back with a recruit, he had just met. Not so ironically, it was shortly after that, that Crean stopped tweeting all together. That was the problem with 120 characters back then, and even today. Anyone with an agenda can put their own spin on a tweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone with an agenda can put their own spin on a tweet. Hypothetical question. If you were being courted by multiple companies to come work for them, and a boss at one of them sent you that tweet, what would you guys think? Not trying to start an argument, just curious.
