Good April Fools gag, but isn't too far from being possible.

Well, that's interesting.  I mean, I guess I get it on the one hand...you want to minimize distractions.  But, the guy did lead the team for 9 years and has a son that will be playing baseball for IU.  Do you just completely shut him out of everything?

It was an April Fools joke by Kent Sterling.

So did Crean make a good faith effort to get a new job?  Just curious I feel like if he had he would have landed somewhere

He said he's waiting for a place to open where he can win and win big.

So in other words, he won't be coaching next season. I'd love to hear the media who defended him and acted like we were making a big mistake try and spin that.

Good luck with that.  The places that would give him what he needs "win big" probably wouldn't even take his call.

[Hoosierfan2017 25,460]

Crean could only win big once every few years at IU and his next job definitely won't be at our level. His view of his value  doesn't match up with his value on the market. I'll be very surprised if he's s head coach next year. 

[Hardwood83 5,246]

Clearly he's not a hot commodity, but doesn't it seem like it's pretty common for coaches to take a year and do TV or something?

I wonder how this might affect the stipulation in his contract (with IU) that he actively look for employment after termination?  Kind of sets up a possible legal challenge.  That is, unless the terms are defined in the contract (very possible).

Media gigs count, so if he becomes an analyst for a year that would also knock off some of the buyout.

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."
