Fantastic win for Crean and his program yesterday. Below average performance, lost two players to injury, adversity with foul trouble to key pieces Bryant and Williams and yet they overcame to beat a program quite familiar with recent NCAA success. North Carolina will likely be a hill too high to climb but Crean has eased the pressure already.
I would leave if I were him....still think ultimately he will leave some day before being fired. IU fans are the most delusional I have ever come across. They haven't done anything of "elite" status in almost 30 years sans one freak run under Mike Davis, but their fans think they are still elite. They aren't. That's the worst kind to coach for, a set of fans that think they are something they aren't. Knight's last 6 years were poor in the NCAAs, the way that SOB left backed IU into a corner in terms of a hire. A normal transition would have meant IU would likely have been still near the top.
