Kolek planning to go pro
I keep trying to keep my criticism of Crean limited to his coaching. However, if a string of occurrences like these had happened at MU under buzz, I know one "unbiased" college bball fanCrean devotee who would have lost his friggin' mind. What is the tipping point for IU being able to show just cause for getting out of the buyout?
I wonder if Crean would ever return to MU if the circumstances permitted. Unlike KO he didn't burn the house down on the way out...
I think the writing is on the wall for Tom Crean at Indiana. His tenure peaked with Cody Zeller and Victor Oladipo during their Sweet 16 run a few seasons ago. The odds of a coach at a blue blood program missing the tournament consecutive seasons AND experiencing off-court issues with players (including drug and DUI problems) are slim to none.Crean will be coaching a new team in 2015. Whatever his buyout is, you can guarantee that the IU boosters will not continue to stand pat in year 8 of mediocrity. They will offer everything to go get Brad Stevens.
You think so? He strikes me as a guy that would go to the studio to let things cool down and wait for another decent job to open up rather than jump at a mid-major or lower tier job.
You chittin' me? Ain't happenin'. If you got the virus once, lifetime immunity is guaranteed, aina?
From what I've seen and heard from him at luncheons, in interviews and at press conferences I don't know. Pretty big name, yes, but a walking cliche'.
