Crean was the guy IU needed his first couple years, more for his energy rather than his coaching ability. By the time he was let go, it was obvious that he had taken IU as far as he was going to. His in-game coaching, roster construction, substitution patterns, etc (all still issues under this current staff) left a lot to be desired. I will admit that of the 3 coaches, Crean’s tenure had more positive moments. With that said, I still don’t think IU should ever have to settle for these types of coaches.
