Tom Crean is a lame duck in Bloomington

[ChicosBailBonds]

The Bronze Beast is not just strange but weird in a nasty, someone got picked on as a kid way.

His antics - pushing a woman who didn't make copies precisely as he specified, kissing his son on the lips, carting out that guy in a wheelchair as a stage prop - defy understanding.

Bert is a weird f#ck but not in the same demented way as Tanned Tommy. Crean is a nasty sonuvabitch without the stones to back it up.

Kissing his son on the lips....something I've seen 1000's of times....honestly, don't know why you are hung up on that one.  Maybe it's a generational thing, or a regional thing.  The wheelchair thing was beyond weird, but also encouraged by the family.  The woman copies?  No idea what you are talking about.  I have far worse stories than those.

I agree, to an extent. Don't  think money doesn't outweigh risk at some point. Pitino to Louisville? Shaka to Texas? Pressure comes with any D1 coaching job. Whether IU or Wichita State. Any coach using the money vs. pressure claim isn't fit for a D1 job and I certainly don't want them at MU.

I've heard that often, but the pressure at MU or Wichita State is far different than the pressure at a blue blood and others.   There's pressure and then there's idiocy...I put IU in the idiocy category.

My wife was at a thing they had at The AL and Crean was upset with an admin and gave her a shove after berating her right in front of a group of alums. She was among more than a few who left immediately.

Kissing a teenaged male on the lips is not something I would do.

Interesting company - Big Ten champs

2012 Jon B, Tom Izzo, Thad Matta
2013 Tom Crean
2014 Jon B.
2015 Bo Ryan
2016 Tom Crean


Who would have thought Ryan or Izzo only shows up there one time the last five years and that TC and Jon B show up their twice?

How many times has Crean been able to hang up a FF banner at II, II compared to Izzo at MSU?

Crean sucks

This will never, ever get old

How many times has Crean been able to hang up a FF banner at II, II compared to Izzo at MSU?

Zero, which is why I said it was crazy not to have him in that list.

How many times have we hung a FF banner at MU, MU since he has left?

Same answer.

Same answer.

Buzz won 8 NCAA tournament games at MU. In that time Crean won 4 at IU. Times that Crean won more NCAA tournament games in a season than Buzz? Zero.

You're correct. Marquette hasn't hung a Final Four banner since Tom Crean.

You're correct. Marquette hasn't hung a Final Four banner since Tom Crean.

And Indiana hasn't hung one since Mike Davis#Crapshoot

You're correct. Tom Crean made it to the second weekend once in 9 seasons at Marquette. Buzz made it 3 time in 6.

Crean had the most successful season of the two. Buzz had the most successful career.

You're correct. Marquette hasn't hung a Final Four banner since Tom Crean.

Who knew this thread was about Buzz Williams until Lenny came along....so many people predicting so many bad things and so wrong over the years.

I'll stick with my predictions that Buzz will do fine at Va Tech, just as TC will at IU.
