Notable Coaches Region 4 vs 13
« on: May 11, 2015, 09:43:50 AM »
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


Karate

Another Tom Crean meme special.  Crean wore a karate uniform to Midnight Madness and this was another thing to get under some posters skin.  And so karate uniforms will forever be brought up as part of questionable marketing decisions.
