I don't think this is a big deal at all. I do think Crean will use this as an opportunity to leave Indiana ahead of the posse, a la Buzz Williams.

Speaking of Crean, did anybody see this press conference? I thought it was Crean at his most gruesome. Wheeling this gentleman in front of the media under the guise of a good deed is just despicable in my mind. Wouldn't a trip into the locker room been more what this fan had in mind? Or courtside seats with no further comment? A personalized jersey? No, no, no. The media needs to see him in front of their bright lights...see how Coach Crean actually interacts with him like an actual human being.

This is the kind of transparent, offensive garbage he pulled all the time at Marquette, although this is the single most egregious example of it. He is a despicable human being...the worst of the worst. Calling him a phony is an insult to phonies around the globe.

Laughably, he gets media people, like this NBC sports website believing it's because he's such a caring individual. The reality is it's a dog and pony show that this douche bag hopes will curry favor with the torch-bearing townsfolk gathering at the gates of Assembly Hall.

I couldn't watch all of that presser but Crean is utterly shameless in exploiting that guy. His smug, patronizing manner is beyond disturbing. The real problem, though, is that the Bronzed Beast is oblivious to how reprehensible it is to use this guy as a stage prop. Crean is the most soul-less man in Indiana.

I couldn't even watch the whole thing. Nothing like using a terminally ill person to raise your own stock. Crean takes douchebaggery to a new low.
