Hire Tom Crean

Recommended Posts

CTC showed a lot of class attending the WNIT game in AH. His post-exit interview had him wishing we win the Championship, him saying he loves living in Indiana and he still loves IU.  I was for his firing because he wasn't getting the winning done, but he was always a great ambassador for the university.  He probably wants to keep coaching, but if not it would be cool if we could find him a place like we did for Bill Mallory after we let him go as coach.  It would be awesome to have a video like at the FB games with former players and CTC saying "I'm a Hoosier!" At any rate, I'd much rather hear him doing TV commentary during our games than Dakich!  Or maybe a sidekick for Don Fischer if the current one gets arrested like Leary, LOL.

While he might be well suited as a cheer leader or motivational speaker, I'm pretty sure he's made it clear that he still wants to coach.  I anticipate that he will excel at a university with lower expectations.  There are plenty of power 5 schools that will accept inconsistent results if it means having some very good seasons mixed in.  If he goes to a mid major he could probably build a long term winning program, but I doubt he settles for that.

We're paying him to not coach here while he's sitting at home or visiting NBA teams. I wouldn't mind him being around the team in a player development coach. He showed signs of being a good player developer. 

 

I know it won't happen, wish him the best though.

Urban is using Dakich to wiretap Crean to get info from Jimmy Khakis. Or they'll take a couple laps on 465 aboard the excuse bus. Either or.

Yes. It's like he finally has the courage to standup up for himself after hiding behind the media for 3 years.

It doesn't really matter, the man takes no accountability for anything.

Agreed. I just find it strange, from his comments to hanging around the program still. Most coaches get out quick after being fired.

I find it a little strange too. Always liked CTC but you feel he would move on.

I am a Sixer fan and word is he will probably be working with us in some capacity. I know he was at our practice a few days ago. He wont be unemployed for too long.

This would be perfect for him.  With talent, his offensive scheme works. If that's all he has to focus on I think he could do well at the asst. level in the NBA.

I doubt his style (both coaching and personal) would translate at the NBA level.  Tommy would be out of his element.
