Thank you, Tom Crean!

[Walking Boot of Doom]

A thread that will hopefully gain traction as a place for everyone to reflect on the positives from the Tom Crean era. A lot of hard work and commitment went in to bringing us fans out of the dumpster fire and to some really exciting highs. Hope everyone can appreciate what Coach Crean did here!

 

To the man who brought us the WatShot, a couple B1G Titles, and three all-time Hoosier legends (Oladipo, Zeller, and Yogi), thanks for the memories!

Thanks, Boot.

I think I can speak for the other mods when I ask to please keep this thread clean and only about thanking Tom Crean. There are other threads for any other types of posts.

Thanks.

This x 1000.  Really appreciate all Crean did for IU over the last 9 years.  He came in and took this job when it was at it's ugliest.  We had some GREAT times with you Coach Crean.  Thank you for everything you've done and best of luck in the future.  I WILL cheer for your success and wish nothing but the best for you in your coaching career.  I really wish it didn't have to end this way as you personally don't deserve it.  All Hoosiers whether they admit it or not, appreciate what you've done here.

THANK YOU COACH CREAN!

That #TomCrean look after the Watshot! That was baller.

He did great things for the university to get the program back on solid ground. I'll always be thankful for that.

I'm sure he'll land on his feet somewhere. I hope he has success at his next location unless he plays Indiana.

I would expect for the committee to place IU and Crean's future team in the same region because money.

[Hovadipo]

A lot of good landing spots available for Crean. Assuming he'll have his pick now that it's official. I, for one, won't want to play his teams. You never know when a Crean squad is going to go nuts and hit infinity 3's.

Good luck Crean and family.

I'd love to see Crean try his luck at NC St.

That would be interesting.

Plus I want Beldens late night tweet to become 100% fact. Lol

Wish him well it was just time. Another year would have been ugly and I did not want to see that.

The Wat shot no doubt and And the look on CTC's face are priceless. Thanks CTC for all your did!

Thank you Crean for letting me experience a rocking Assembly Hall during my four years as a student at IU. The UNC game this year and the Maryland game two years ago when Hartman went off from 3 were two amazing atmospheres. I always appreciated you taking the time to come over and thank the student section after big games like that.

My god that Maryland game...my first big game in the balcony. I didn't know it moved like that. I was terrified.

Thanks, Tom!

Thanks for running a clean program, and pulling us out of hell.

Thanks for Vic, Cody, Yogi and many other exciting players.

Thanks making Assembly Hall a hoppin' place when the big boys came to town.

Good Luck at your next job, Tom!

Coach,

   Thanks for taking a gig a lot of higher profile guys ran from. Thanks for doing what was necessary to create a job that a lot of high profile guys will now embrace. Thanks for being incredibly gracious to me on the couple of occasions that I was fortunate enough to speak with you. I wish you and yours the best of success going forward. Hooking up in a Final 4 game would be ok with me.

Coach Crean,

Thanks for all you have done for Indiana University and the Men's Basketball team. Good luck in your future endeavors and always remember we (the fans) appreciate you bringing the program back from the ledge.

Thanks to the man that was coach for over half my lifetime and the man that put together some of the most fun teams to watch offensively. Thanks for bringing in some IU legends and making some unforgettable memories. And let's not forget the recruiting of the folklore legend that is Vanilla Prilla!!! Wish nothing but the the best for him moving forward.
Thanks Crean!!!

Coach, 

You came here when no one else would. You took our program from rubble back to relevance - and you did it the right way - the Indiana way. It's sad things had to end like this as I know every IU fan wanted you to be the guy to bring banners to Bloomington. I'll be forever grateful for what you did for the Indiana program and wish you and your family nothing but the best. If you're ever back in Assembly Hall, I know you'll get the reception you deserve. But don't enjoy it for too long cause we'll beat you!

An Appreciative Fan

Thank god they renovated the place before something terrible happened. You got the full AH experience up there lol. I had my best seats ever for that game. Back before they screwed up GA and you could actually get good seats with it. 

[southsidehoosier]

Crean will definitely end up in another power five conference. Wish you success

I got some great seats 2 years ago in GA for SMU, Michigan, Iowa and a couple non-cons. Got screwed into the balcony for every GA game I had last year because of security letting people into the front of the line as soon as the doors opened. Such a joke.
