But it is significant in knowing how to coach.
If you were a great player then you should have a great understanding of the game imo it's always better when coaches have playing experience


THIS IS INDIANA!!!!


While I very much agree, there is a caveat to everything.

See: Brad Stevens.

But yes, it's always comforting to know your hc has had experience at a high level. (This is not an endorsement of Alford)

I left NCSU off because I think it's pretty well documented that they want to go young with a coach and also had UMass instead of GW.


Just realized UMass is A-10. I guess I missed NCSU's comments about going young. Just thought it'd be a good place for Crean.

I agree with everyone else. Crean would be great at a mid-major or SEC school where a tourney appearance and S16 run every 3-6 years is success.

I do not think Crean would succeed at a 1-bid conference, low major school, because I don't think he'll ever put together a team/program consistent enough to win conference tournaments.

What is the timeline for a decision? We have cleared one hurdle - Glass did not come out right after the Wisconsin loss and state Crean will be back next year (as Shawn Eichorst did for Tim Miles at Nebraska). Is there a precedent for doing it prior to the NIT? If so, who would coach us during the NIT? I can’t imagine there is an advantage to firing Crean sooner rather than later - as all of the coaches we want are either looking at NCAA runs or the rest of their NBA seasons. I am craving good news (Crean Fired or leaving for another job). What is a realistic timeline?

Groce for Illinois will not be coaching the NIT and they are a projected 1 seed
