Tom Crean Chant

Recommended Posts

Who cares how many ppl did it? Even if it was 1 person, that is hurtful to do in front of his wife and kids. Crean does not deserve that.

It matters because the original idea was that Indiana fans were doing this. Then it was the student section of the opposing team now we learn it was a few kids who tried but everyone else ignored.

So the story could easily be a few kids tried to start a tom Crean sucks chant but no one followed their lead. It did not last long because by the time the HS principle got over it had stopped.

Great to hear it wasn't that big of a deal. I didn't think it was a bunch of people anyway,, because that would be sad. I can see PURDUE fans doing it, but not our own. We have a great fan base that would not stoop that low. I know a few would, but many.

Of course, it's nonsense that this happened, but I'm more embarrassed that the kids at South, (supposedly a school with good credentials), couldn't come up with anything better than "Tom Crean Sucks". Not only is it mean but it's lame as hell.

 

I'd have had them chanting things like:

 

"NIT, NIT, NIT"

 

or

 

"Two, four, six, eight, we all know, what you hate: DEFENSE, yeah yeah, DEFENSE!"

 

or my favorite,

 

"Don't worry, beat Clappy"

 

Just something to lighten the mood folks. Nothing serious.

Yea, it was those sneeky little Trainwrecks that did it not IU fans!  Purdue should be absolutely ashamed of themselves.  Our adminsitration should protest to the B1G about this!  lol

Pay them back by getting Stevens.  IU with Stevens at the helm may be enough to make them leave the conference.

Just how low and negative can IU fans be. I know from living in Indiana and playing in HS that IU fans are normally great fans. We have to be better than this name calling at a coach's son.

So if three kids in the opposing teams section try to start a chant that fails the summary is Indiana fans are low and negative.

South student here, our student section is pretty rough. It's ridiculous how much they go after kids sometimes, and you'll often see students get off the bleachers and stand over kids that fall down underneath the basket. We had a student section leader banned from games for starting bad chants and unsportsmanlike/borderline racist conduct, if I recall correctly. I don't know why our students act like this. We don't have to viciously go after players to psych them out in order to win games considering we're ranked 2nd in the state and the 1st place team got bounced from the tournament already.

Exactly. I don't know why everyone is acting like this was "IU fans." As if a bunch of disgruntled middle-aged IU fans are going to troll a HS basketball game. This was clearly a bunch of teenagers. In case you've forgotten, teenagers are (generally) the worst people on Earth.

No truer words were ever spoken. Most, but not all, think that it is their purpose in life to point out the flaws in others. I suspect it's their own security issues, but it may be that they're just a**holes.
