Behind the scenes look at MU circa 2006
« on: February 25, 2011, 10:11:13 PM »
I stumbled across Chris Grimm's blog and found a pretty sweet behind the scenes look at what playing for a Crean coached team was like. Now now, this has nothing to do with Crean or Buzz bashing, it's just having never been a part of the day to day activities of a college team, it's cool to see what it was like.

Here's a little snippet:
"Our hotel in Louisville had a big open area next to the pool that was definitely big enough to run around and have a mini practice in. We all started walking to the open area but Coach made a bee line to the pool and screamed "last one in doesn't play tomorrow." I was shocked. Coach had just ran and jumped into the pool with all of his clothes on and glasses. None of us knew what to do. We were all on edge because we thought Coach was mad about practice. I can't remember who it was (I think it was Steve) but someone said screw it and ran and jumped in the pool too and the rest of us followed. We splashed around and acted like little kids until hotel security came."

I stayed at a hotel that had a swimming pool once.  Never got my glasses wet, though.

You should hear the story when they stayed at a hotel that had a tanning bed next to the practice floor!

I'm figurin' Crean saw reporters with cameras rolling. Either that or he was too cheap to send his clothes to the cleaners.
