Following the Maui Invitation Tournament, Crean said it Rosiak's blog if he could do it over again he wouldn't stay calm and patient as he did.
Quote"If I had it to do over again, there's no way I would have remained as calm and patient as I was," said Crean. "That's not what did it; Duke beat us. I'm not saying that at all. But I think in that game I adhered far too much to the bench decorum rules. You can't get away from making sure that you're getting your point across inside of these games.
"But I'm not saying at all that cost us the game."

If fouls get out of hand tomorrow could we see a technical worthy Tom Crean?
Slow day at work TT????
I see him getting animated, but I think he knows the point in which he can push the refs. Assuming its a close game a technical foul would not be good. I dont see it happening
It's always a slow day at work. Must be nice. I feel like I may have done more work in my two hours of class on the last day of the semester than TT today.
I cleaned half my room and it sounds a tad bit like i have done more work!
I was hoping he'd get a technical at the Duke game. All the fans could see how uneven the calls were. If Crean had gotten in the ref's face and been T'd up, the whole MU section would have erupted in cheers.
Let's hope he doesn't have a reason to tomorrow.
My first class got canceled and two of the three I actually had just had teacher evaluations and I think i've done more work than TT today too ;)
p.s. does anyone know if the eagle will be at the Annex tomorrow for the game and is it going to be the big one or the baby?
I know the Annex hasn't requested an eagle for tomorrow.
I know the eagle's roommates' big screen tv is broken though so the eagle might be looking for somewhere else to watch the game. Depends how the eagle is feeling. ;)
The Eagle is free to join me and possibly others down at the Annex...I'd guess we're gonna be in the back on the court. Hopefully they have that screen showing the game.
Frankly, I'm not sure Crean can control himself to "creatively" get a technical. The way he flies off the handle, he'd probably get ejected. I thought he was lucky to escape ejection at Notre Dame last year and his unhinged behavior quickly led to an unhinged performance by MU.
Last year at Notre Dame was a game where I agreed with Crean sticking up for his team by getting a T as that was another game where fouls got out of hand.
I can't for the life of me though, figure out how he didn't get a T as he grabbed the ball, slammed it down, and refused to give it back!
I have friends with siblings that go to ND and those ND students were even saying the game was out of control with some of the fouls and lack there of. It will be interesting to see how the reffing is in UW and I have a feeling the Grinch will try to give his team the home court advantage before the game even gets going.

I take offense to that baby eagle comment.
any particular reason?
