Tom Crean is a hack and a fraud. Bad basketball coach. Overrated as a human being.

But other than that? ;)

Kent Sterling on Crean today was spot on.


To succeed as a coach, Tom Crean needs to understand more about people than he does about basketball.

Basketball according to former Indiana coach Tom Crean – Winning Basketball = LB/7 + 3s(7)

Simple concepts allow students to understand. Reducing the complicated into basic easy to understand bites of information is the key to allowing people to understand them.

Basketball is an easy sport. On offense, create open shots and make them. Defensively, limit open shots and rebound misses. Easy.

Former IU basketball coach Tom Crean became a former coach because he was very adept at needlessly complicating the simple. The result was confusion on the court, and a confused team is never going to be confident.

Yesterday, Crean took to Twitter to share some hoops philosophy on the day many of the biggest summer youth tournaments begin in Las Vegas. As is always the case with Crean, the intent was righteous. He wants players and teams to play basketball the right way and succeed in a venue where it is rarely required..

Here is the tweet –

“It’s hard to lose when your team is getting 70% of the 50/50 balls and getting 3 stops in a row 7 or more times in a game. Toughness Matters”

Crean has taken a message about toughness, and expanded it to calculus so confusing I’m not sure what he’s talking about. Stops are good. Getting three consecutive stops seven times is bewildering.

Getting the ball in 50/50 circumstances is good. Getting 70% of them is confusing. Why not 80%? Why not try to get 100%?

Crean tries to reverse engineer basketball to create goals that lead to a positive outcome, but basketball is about five players simultaneously committed to a fundamental process through toughness and precise execution.

Basketball is about process in the moment. Results come from the execution of that process.

Get tough. Be sound. Develop skills. Yes, yes, and yes.

Winning = LB/7 + 3sX7 makes a kid’s eyes roll back in his head.

God Crean better coach again so that these pundits have to choke on their words.

If he(or his agent) is smart, he goes to a football school, hits above their historical weight and he looks like a hero in spite of likely having the same kind of teams and records he had at Marquette and IU. A school like LSU or Washington would've been a perfect marriage.

State Fair CC would be a solid fit...

Key word to all of this: FUNDAMENTAL. It's one of the things FCTC's players lacked, overall.

This kind of BS gets old man. Grow up.

Watching Crean try to adjust during a game gets old. The only good adjustment he made was his trousers.

Idc? Again.. Grow up.

The amount of undeserving scholarships Crean gave out was ridiculous. From Jobe, Bawa, Gelon, Priller, Guy Marc Michel and I'm sure i am missing more. Part of it is he didn't assemble an ace recruiting staff but the strategy to give out 50+ scholarships seemed to hurt with the higher ranked players. Everything about Archie is refreshing from his recruiting, to the staff he put together, to seeing the players conditioning program to scheduling better opponents. Thank you Tom for all you did to help us get back on our feet as a program but so glad you are gone!

Western Kentucky freshman Mitchell Robinson has left campus, source told ESPN. Will be interesting to see if he is persuaded to return.

It's so obvious WKU is using shady tactics. How is the NCAA not at Stansbury's doorstep?

This would have made perfect sense if Ron Burgandy would have said it.

I'm glad you can post Crean's tweets. I was blocked a while back for responding to a tweet of his that said something like "it shows a sign of weakness and lack of mental toughness when players put their hands on their knees during a game" I tweeted a pic of Michael Jordan doing that exact thing and got blocked lol. The guy has incredibly thin skin. 

[WayneFleekHoosier]

I never attAck anyone on Twitter and I'm blocked too. Not even sure why. Lol

Seriously, you're not missing much. I got so tired of it I excused myself. I think the one that sent me over the edge had something to do with players making excuses. This from the master of veiled excuses...

From the few seconds I could see of Guy Marc Michel he actually looked like he could play some ball. It was unfortunate he never got eligible.
