I think there is a rumor out there about Crean asking then asst coach Calbert to teach how his teams used to attack a zone. Cal worked on this then after presenting it to the team Crean made light of it and said basically well we aren’t going to do that.

Calbert left after that year I believe.

Not sure if true but it is an interesting story

Was that the year they went to the NC

I think so. Most would have wanted him fired in spite of that run much like Mike Davis with these records.

As far as I know, Calbert's only role at IU under Crean was director of basketball operations. That's a non-coaching position and I believe if that person coaches, it's allegedly a violation of NCAA rules. 

Although breaking down video and studying video and presenting video might fall into the DBO's province.

Agreed I don’t see it as a rumor that is legit for the reasons you listed. I had heard that too from the various boards, but that would be a no no.

Cheaney:  "How many national titles have you won?"

Crean:  "How many Dwyane Wade's did he coach?"

Sorry, really couldn't resist.  Yes, I'm fully aware Cheaney's teams didn't win a title either.

The way I heard it the videos were not current but Calbert era teams. Would probably be a loophole. But heard this from somebody that is very trusted. I’m as skeptical as anybody but I believe this happened.

IMG_1490.thumb.jpg.8dcfc1d32831d3641255962faed89654.jpgI had this saved when this came up prior. According to the NCAA rules they can’t do any instruction.

 

Edit: The image didn’t come across clean. Let me send the link.

What you fail to acknowledge is we weren’t playing our best ball at the end of the season. Let alone we were wore down from his practicing techniques which tells me he didn’t have the pulse of the team. Losing one game no matter how you justify it to yourself is no reason to fire a coach. It may open your eyes if you hadn’t noticed the stretch but no you do not fire a coach on one game.

Yup. A team that finished the season 29-7, lost 4 of those in the final month of the season. And don’t down play the BTT loss folks. That was an @$$ whoopin. I was there to see it. They went into the NCAA tournament trending down. On February 27th they were ranked #1, and a shoe in for the overall #1 seed. Two weeks later, they had lost 3 of the final 6 including an un-ranked Minny and the aforementioned whoopin to Wisky. Lost the number 1 ranking and barely retained the final 1 seed. Many said they did not deserve it at the time.

They were the 3rd overall number 1 seed that year. Zags was the last 1 seed

I agree. After that win at MSU, and a great road win that was, the team struggled every game. Losses to teams we should not have lost to and the wins were unimpressive (remember Temple). It goes way beyond Syracuse but that Syracuse game topped off a terrible month or so of basketball.
