Saying the right things....good to see.


Mr. Williams, our program (and I mean our) is in your hands.  Welcome to the family.

"I wanted to tell these guys first that I was their coach."

Class act move.

Crean, were you listening?


EDIT: Does "I'm a winning guy" mean "I have no clue what my style is"?

Yeah, that was a weird response to what kind of style he will play.

[Tom Crean's Tanning Bed]

I take that answer to mean "I'm going to play the style best suited to the players I have."

For next year, it'll probably somewhat similar to Crean offensively, but with less sets and greater simplicity. 

Defensively, I don't expect much to change, except for perhaps a bit more pressing.

Worrrd.  I loved that he told the players FIRST about him being their coach.  That's how it's done.

And when he said the "winning guy" thing, I literally went YEEEUH! out loud...although it was kind of a awkward/cop out answer, but I still liked his reply, haha. 

If he's really the SpongeBuzz Squarepants he said he was, writing 400+ letters to coaches and all that...I'm hopin' that he'll be able to put all that knowledge to good use.
