Move over, Dwyane Wade in IU shorts...

You will have to show me those promises....was their a sit down and a promise of not one, not two, not three, but 6 titles or whatever?

He labelled the job "the pinnacle" of college basketball.  What the hell do you think that means?

Wait, a new coach at a program trying to delver meat to a fan base described the job as one of the best, to get them excited, especially with NCAA sanctions on the horizon?  Oh my....I am astonished.  Some people talk about hope and change.  Some people promise full transparency.  Some promise a half dozen NBA titles. Some coaches promise not to break NCAA rules while recruiting...ahem.

Now, again...show me the promises that were made. 

If I recall they were about returning the school back to not having academic issues, competing again for the Big Ten (which they won), returning to the NCAAs (which they have), so on and so forth.

Is it enough?  Probably not, though the idiots on this site that have said how many times he would be fired by now have been so wrong MU 82's head must be pulling a full 360 exorcism spinner move by now. 

Our Final Four keeps getting further and further in the rear view mirror....

Seriously.  Keep spinning dude.  If you can't read implication, you are dumber than you even come off on this board.

Please show me the promises....otherwise you're all hat, no cattle.   This was about the promises that were made, not some comment as red meat to a fan base.  Am I supposed to believe Wojo when he says MU has the best college basketball fans in the nation.  Really?   Give me a break.

Who the hell are you going to white knight once Tanned Tommy slides off into obscurity??

It's between Hope Solo and Steve Kerr right now.

All the craze the last few days around here is having some backup for people's comments.  Inspired by MU82, Pakuni and Sultan.  Feels like we should have the MLA handbook issued for everyone so they can footnote.  Trying to get ahead of the compliance curve.  About all those promises....

[#UnleashSean]

I don't see what the hate on Crean is. He put the team into national spotlight and made Indiana relevant again. Why do we constantly deny that he is a decent coach/team builder.

Everyone understands he took us to the final four...we also understand he is a prick and left like the classless whimp he is.

He's getting chased out of Indiana for a reason.

I'd contend that he is excellent at developing a team's brand and crafting a great gameday experience. He's also a solid recruiter.

You're off base on calling him a good coach, though.

"If the glove doesn't fit, you must acquit."

You're sounding like the Johnny Cochran of MUScoop.

Should be pretty easy to list the promises.........the internet was invented, color tv, radio, etc.

Is he?  Almost every coach is chased at one point.  Either into quitting, retiring, firing, or moving on.  Not all, but most. 

It's been fun watching the predictions the last 5 or 6 years and people falling on their faces.  They will be a very good team this year barring any major injuries.

Buzz left last year. We should write more about our current coach.

This.

Crean can run one hell of a dog and pony show. He is great at hyping the program, getting a$$es in seats, and getting the team into a national spotlight. He is a decent recruiter and can elevate a program to respectability, but when it comes time to perform in the postseason, he craps the bed. There will always be a program trying to get back into NCAA-tournament-level respectability that will be interested in his services, but dollars to donuts he doesn't make another Final Four again the rest of his career.

Tom is also a tireless worker and crafts a very solid game-plan.  Unfortunately I do not think he has any feel for the game once the clock starts, he's not much help.

If TC could have Mike Deane on the bench coaching for him and Buzz to tell weird stories at the Fish Fry and Wojo to schmooze with donors and KO to party with after conference tourneys, it would be a dream staff.

Nice to see Mazos representing as an idiot again.

That is a lot of egos on one bench!
