Crean said he wishes could be at the banquet but wasn't invited.

[SERocks]

LOL!  Imagine that.

Not invited.

LOL!

you can actually HEAR him blowing himself

[passion of da coach]

says he didn't know the AD was traveling with the women's team, was sick all day, wasn't at the office, yada yada yada... it went fast... what was I supposed to do, bring the guys in and leave them hanging all afternoon?

[Mods, Delete me please. 8/26/2020]

Now he is blaming the backdoor stuff on the Flu.   He said he didnt know everyone was out of the office because he hadnt been because he was sick.  

[Norm]

Is this what normally happens when coaches leave after the season is over?

I wonder if he'll have a video salute towards the players?

Yeah, his leaving was messy, but this guy coached us to being one acrobat shot away from the Sweet 16.

Sooner or later both MU and those who are pissed at Crean for how he left will have to move on. May as well be sooner, rather than later.

[Mods, Delete me please. 8/26/2020]

Just said he left MORE MONEY at MU for Indiana 

[JoeMcSteal]

It's likely they'll post this interview afterwards.  go to www.670thescore.com later today for those who aren't local.

North is grilling him actually right now.

"'cuz it's Indiana..."  What does that mean?!

I don't have an opinion anymore, it's over, time to move on.

[SERocks]

Isn't Crean IU's head coach now?  Why is he doing all these interviews in Milwaukee?  Shouldn't he be worried about IU's program, rather than Milwaukee fans?  I think I would tell him to get back to work.....

[TallTitan34]

670 the Score is out of Chicago.

[TallTitan34]

A lot of people in Chicago don't like Mike North because he doesn't exactly have the best education but he gives some of the best interviews I've ever heard because he isn't afraid to ask the questions people want to hear asked.

Total 180 from that Crean love fest up here in Milwaukee on WTMJ radio.  That interview was a joke.

[Chicago_inferiority_complexes]

Joe,

Do they normally repost later the same day of the program?

[SERocks]

Ah...you can tell I listen to a lot of am radio.

Sorry about that.

[Warrior1969]

Seems like TC is changing his story to start to cover his a$$

[Pakuni]

I though Crean acquitted himself quite well, but let's be honest: nothing he says or does from this point on is going to change anybody's feelings about his exist.

p.s. He hasn't changed his story.

[Warrior1969]

How did he leave MORE money at MU???

[Warrior1969]

Maybe not changing but adding to his story, he was sick, thats the first time we have heard that.  He didn't know everyone was going to Colorodo, does anyone believe that for a second.  i could have told you they would have been going to support the women.

[JoeMcSteal]

Warrior07, they tend to post them pretty quickly.  I would think they'd have it posted by noon.  Usually the same day.  It's actually a nice feature I find more radio stations (in Chicago) are doing.

I do believe he sounded fine.  I wish him luck.  It initially was a shock, but I think we all knew this was coming.  I just wish it wasn't played off as if he was always going to honor his contract.  I'm looking forward to next season.  It seems the players may be stronger from this episode.  Hopefully this is a boost to the "program" and not just these group of players.

By the way, Crean was just on AM 1000 (espn) in Chicago just after the Mike North interview.  I don't know about them posting interviews though.

[Mods, Delete me please. 8/26/2020]

FYI Crean said pretty much the same thing on am 1000.   The excuse about being sick.

[NCMUFan]

Is Crean now the enemy that must be destroyed?  Hell yes.  We need to beat the clown in the media to.  Buzz needs to get in front of the mic and camera as much as possible in as many viewing areas as possible.

[Litehouse]

How did he leave MORE money at MU???

When the lawyers get done sorting out his contract with MU, he might have a rather large expense on his hands that could come out of the reported $2.3M he's getting at IU.

Did you know when they were leaving? Did you know what time their flight departed and arrived? Did you know when Cottingham would be in the air and therefore unavailable?

I'm sorry, but I don't for a second buy the conspiracy theory that Crean somehow waited until Cottingham was airborne to make his decision. First, there's no incentive for him to do so. Second, a guy as PR conscious at Crean wouldn't intentionally do something so detrimental to his public image.

[Norm]

Actually, he mentioned being sick the day he met with the team on the day of his press conference at IU. He may have even brought it up at that press conference. Regardless, I do remember him talking about being sick that day.

[Chicago_inferiority_complexes]

I'm still amazed at what the flu does to people involved with Marquette Athletics.

Wow!
