Crean subtly throwing Glass under the bus? Talking about South Carolina's AD saying "He gets what is means to be part of a team.... You've got to have people who have an idea of what it takes to be successful."

That was supposed to be the point of the article... a Crean point of view that it isn't that he is not in demand but rather he is being picky because he wants a better situation, conducive to winning..... As if he didn't have that before...

Mentions that several have reached out but he wasn't interested.

Crean's just getting out in front of it and saying that he's going to be picky so that way when no one hires him he has an excuse. Glass gave him nine years and countless resources to prove that he could build a consistent winner and he couldn't do it. I think he'll have a hard time finding a more supportive athletic director than Fred Glass.

Man I laughed so hard I almost peed at his comments on reflecting what worked and didn't and making changes for the better! The man coached at Marquette and Indiana for almost 20 years and the same problems happened year after year. This man is stuck on himself and his methods and is virtually incapable of making changes. He is better off taking a career in broadcasting, cause the "big time" coaching gigs are not going to come, those schools have noticed a track record of inconsistency, big spending shot gun approach to recruiting, off the court issues, lack of meaningful player discipline, lackadaisical coaching strategy, maddening substitution strategies, and no in-game adaptations. Schools like Duke, mentioned in other post, wouldn't bat an eye at a resume like FCTC has built over the last couple decades. I agree with others, FCTC is setting up a PR campaign to shrug off how him not finding the "right" job will look! I will give him credit for one thing, he is one hell of a PR guy and knows exactly how to hype himself!

He won't do it - let me just say I understand that before going any further - but he would do best to get an assistant job somewhere, either NBA or college. All the things he has said about leadership are exactly what his teams lacked. I really think he's in a position where he doesn't know what he doesn't know.

He would be a really great assistant somewhere, but his hyperactivity and ego won't allow it.
