It'll offset the buyout. Assuming he won't be covering any Syracuse games.

Can't wait to see a deflections graphic pop up during one of our games.

[Hoosierfan2017 19,903]

Oh no. Gonna have to mute the game if he's ever commentating. 

[mdn82 25,461]

Lmfao I hope him and Dakich team up.

 

Edit: I know they won't since both are Analysts.

He always did talk better than he coached if you like platitudes and coach-speak.  Will he do a Marquette game first, or an Indiana game?  What's the over/under on Dwayne Wade mentions his first broadcast?   Is there a time on air before someone mentions the name "Harbaugh?"  I say 47 seconds.   

True or false, he WILL mention deflections during his first broadcast?

True or false, he will mention Cody Zeller and Victor Oladipo, but NOT Noah Vonleh during his first broadcast?

Oh, the coach-speak of Tom Crean.  I'm happy for him because he's a good man, but I don't know how long I can listen to him talk,  Kinda like Chuck Pagano

Congrats CTC! Hope you will continue to show class and represent IU basketball well post-coaching. Wish you and your family the best.

This is what I was telling my dad last night.

Good for him, honestly.  Although if I see a game he's calling it'll probably get muted.

Exactly what I was thinking. Great for him, but I think I've heard enough of him to last me quite a long time.

I'm excited for this, I think there's some valuable things he says. He's a car salesman for sure. His general positive attitude is encouraging to see these days. 

 

He's a great guy, just not the coach for Indiana. 

[JSHoosier 19,580]

After thinking about this, I'm looking forward to him calling a Syracuse game.  Should make for comedic gold.

I'll enjoy it to be honest. I'm sure we will hear tons of platitudes but he will bring something a little new and we may get some perspective from him that relates to his time at Indiana.

Great. A great basketball mind to be sure. Another reason to turn off ESPN

They've been circling the drain for awhile since mixing sports and politics together.

Imagine if he had to call a Syracuse/Wisconsin game in the B1G/ACC challenge.

Other guy: "So Tom, what can you tell us about these two teams?"

Crean: "...Just a minute, need to check with them and make sure it's ok to talk about them on air. They own me, you know."
