Just saw the hip check. What a *****. I get that you make a mistake once or twice but... he seems like a kid that really hasn't been punished much in his life.

It's all fun and games until he trips someone and they dislocate an elbow, shoulder or break something while bracing their fall.

His one game indefinite suspension doesn't seem to have done anything lol

Perfect fit for Crean. Maybe too big of a stage for him but......otherwise a perfect fit.

No fanbase with a championship or championship aspirations will ever be happy with Crean.

I have to think UConn is too big of a stage. Tom would do much better at a school that doesn't have lots of pressure to perform every year. His family is in Florida now so I could see him looking at Georgia once Mark Fox gets fired.

Yeah, you are probably right but Crean and his ego wants a school that can contend for the big one. Question is, does that school want him?

You nailed it Doc - Crean's ego!

In general, I want my head coach to have a big ego in the sense that he expects to win and that he is better than all his adversaries.

Problems arise when results don't match the ego and the ego won't allow the person to change things to get those results to match.

I'd love to be a fly on the wall the day he gives Geno a little coaching/recruiting advice.

Agree on Crean's ego. But I could see UConn rolling the dice on him. They've got multiple NCAA problems right now and given Tom's record of cleaning up our mess, UConn could bring him in as a mea culpa and hope the NCAA goes light on them.

Now, whether UConn is willing to give him a 9 year leash like we did is an entirely different matter.

 

[WayneFleekHoosier 50,861]

And now Mark Fox reported to be out at Georgia.

Can't recruit against the $$$ of the $EC.

Crean would get smothered down there, imo.

New $EC would eat him alive.

Ollie to Crean would be a downgrade.

So Tubby Smith is really throwing a wrench into Memphis' dream to fire him and get Penny Hardaway.  They just keep winning haha.

If they beat UC today in the semifinal, they'd be 22-12 with a good chance of getting an at-large bid, and of course would play tomorrow for the auto-bid.  Surely they won't fire him after making a run to get to the tournament right?

[HoosierAloha 30,102]

Stoked for the Big Ten Tourney final tomorrow. I really believe Michigan has a chance to repeat as tourney champs!

I hate the Big Ten

Has a coach ever been fired from three different D-1 programs?

[LamarCheeks 21,908]

Hmmm ... Could a certain bespectacled, overly-tan, gum-chomping, sideline-pacing, pants-pulling-uping (?) coach we're all familiar with be headed to the SEC and Athens, Ga.?

I think he'll get eaten alive down there.

Saw Danny Hurley rumored as a possible UConn candidate.
