Chad B Posted April 21, 2021 Report Share Posted April 21, 2021 Not looking good for CTC now, but you have to give him props for having the courage to take on the high level coaching positions. He has made a lot of money and one a few big games. IU has moved on and I wish him well except when he plays against IU. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He pulled us out of the dumpster and started to build something special before he stumbled. Nice guy, great with the fan base and his heart was in the right place. He wasn't the long term solution. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier4Life53 Posted April 21, 2021 Report Share Posted April 21, 2021 (edited) As goofy as Crean was, you have to love the guy for pulling us out of the dumpster and bringing in players like Cody, Christian, Vic, Jordy, Yogi and more. Those were fun teams to watch! Having said that....it was definitely time for him to go when he got his walking papers.

rico Posted April 21, 2021 Report Share Posted April 21, 2021 I hope he gets it turned around at UGA. And it looks to me like the Dawgs are a little jealous of other football schools having success on the hardwood. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always liked the guy. I'm not saying he shouldn't have been fired here but I will always appreciate the dark days he weathered for this program. Won't ever understand the hate for him. If that's what people call it. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWatShot Posted April 21, 2021 Report Share Posted April 21, 2021 I think this topic is basically a subtle jab at the fans who wanted Crean to get more time here and blamed his failures on the fans for expecting too much. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's what people call it. totally embraced tradition and what IU was. did things clean and the right way. brought us from absolute bottom to respectable. wanted to be here. just wasn't the right guy to take us further. wish him the best, but glad he's gone. i'd love to se him go somewhere smaller and do well. i think he could do that in the right conference. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU, for one, was better off with Crean than we were with his replacement. Marquette likely was as well. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my personal opinion but I think Tom is destined to be a vagabond coach. I see him bouncing around quite a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn’t even know simple terms like dribble and traveling!

13th&Jackson Posted April 22, 2021 Report Share Posted April 22, 2021 I really think Crean should be an assistant focusing on offense or a skills trainer. He’s a poor manager, so he can’t sustain a program Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bustout Posted April 23, 2021 Report Share Posted April 23, 2021 I actually read that article and came away thinking he may be the only one recruiting and playing by the rules down there. He mentioned something to that effect about recruiting the state of Indiana after he got fired and how he never touched anything like that ... I wouldn’t doubt it down there.

So true...outside of Kentucky. Baseball and football and being outdoors people love that in the south.
