A couple of times I've heard Crean described as "not a nice guy" and "a-hole".  He's probably somewhere in between the great guy some think he is and the a-hole others have experienced him to be.

I tend to subscribe to the theory if somebody is nice to you but rude to a waiter they are not a nice person myself

Has it be a continual thing on this board to complain and knock Crean every chance someone gets? If so, I might be out on the basketball discussions on this board. Are their mods on the place?

I agree

Conversation will move on from Crean. It already has for the most part. Much of what Crean gets, he has brought upon himself. *most here-respect what he did for us and did it in as clean as way as possible. Fans are frustrated he couldn't fulfill his duties as we hoped for the program. People are going to vent. I personally don't understand why some people take the jokes so seriously.

 

I read them, giggle or don't, then move on.

 

As mods we aim to keep things civil, but we allow critiques of players and coaches.

To me there is a difference between a joke and saying someone is a terrible human being.

Lol probably so.. though I've only heard two stories on him and both include liquor

[woodenshoemanHoosierfan 6,703]

 

I'm wrong for witnessing how the man treated a student? Lol ok

So then RMK is a terrible person correct?

No one has ever said he wasn't. Not sure what the point of posting that was but I'm assuming it was just a bad attempt at being a troll.

[Dalton26 17,208]

I don't hate RMK though because that's who he was at all times, while CTC put on a fake front when the public is watching.

Interesting conversation here too. I love interesting conversations

[Hoosierfan2017 25,085]

If I had to guess on what Crean is like as a person I'd say he's probably like most people. Not as great as his supporters say he is, but not as bad as his critics say he is either. He's probably somewhere in the middle. 

Edit: JSHoosier beat me to it.

That's not what was said though, at all. I believe he said "overrated" not "terrible". And if that was what he said, that is his opinion based on whatever information and experiences he has to make those claims.

For those that watched, was Maryland Jalen Smith dominant again today. That kid was running things yesterday.

I'm just glad he's not the coach anymore. There's finally hope once again

Because he made IU basketball, IU basketball. I don't really have any reason to hate the guy. He was before my time.

No. He didn't. We had two NCs when he came to town. Friggin choked a player.

Yeah, in 1940 and 1953. Cincinnati and Oklahoma State both won two NCs 50+ years ago too. Does anyone consider them elite programs? Bob Knight turned IU into a blue blood program.

Hell yeah to the utmost limit. Knight made IU and no one can say otherwise

Yeah I mean I understand that some people have soured on Knight because of how he has acted post-IU, but there's no denying the impact he had on the program. Heck, he hasn't stepped foot in Assembly Hall in almost 17 years and he's still synonymous with IU basketball to a lot of people.
