Deflections
This meme very likely pre-dates MUScoop, it was certainly amplified by the Scoop faithful.  This term referred to the much debated defensive strategy Tom Crean employed where he tracked and tried to force deflections on all plays.  The paint touches of the Tom Crean era if you will.  This strategy was heavily debated and eventually became part of the Scoop lexicon

Tanned Tommy
Many nicknames were generated for Tom Crean after his departure for Bloomington, Indiana.  One that stuck as a meme was Tanned Tommy, referencing his amazing ability to always be at a perfectly bronzed skin tone throughout the long, cold, sunless winter's of Milwaukee.   One wonders if Tom inspired Dick Bacon, or the other way around
