Gregg Doyel Talks with Joani Crean...

[IU Bud 445]

Doyel needs to go to work for the National Enquirer. I hope his act gets old quickly in Indy and he is asked to move on. Eventually he will make enemies with all the teams he covers and they will stop talking to him/

Family is off limits. Douchebag move.

[JSHoosier 19,811]

Yeah, that's going too far.

[raorIU 313]

In prior articles, he claims to have a strong relationship with Crean. Playing devil's advocate, perhaps his familiarity with the family allows this kind of question?

In prior articles, he claims to have a strong relationship with Crean. Playing devil's advocate, perhaps his familiarity with the family allows this kind of question?

A week after he wrote that article, he then put Crean on blast and pretty much denounced him as a friend after the failed drug tests came out.

Doyle just sounds like a prick. Doesn't matter if you have a special connection with a family, target the man in question, not his wife and kids.

[OliviaPope40 6,423]

Does Doyel realize there is a code of ethics for journalism never ever do you ask a coaches wife the question with a kid standing right next to them.

[schoosier 3,451]

Outside of the big no no asking Joani about Brad Stevens, I thought the article was well written and mostly favorable to Tom. He probably asked her since he knew after his article blasting Crean for the player issues he had nothing to lose. Other than the obvious problems bringing Tom's family into it which he could have left out altogether, I think he's correct in saying we have the talent now and we better win now. I wouldn't be looking for an Indiana basketball Christmas card if I were him, which will make his job hard to dowithout inside information. He won't be in Indy long even if Crean isn't in Bloomington either.

Ethics aren't a part of very many circles these days.

He's an idiot. He's hopping on a win, in order to say "we have the talent" so that a failure can be  possible.

Go read a Eastern Washington article and see if Greggggg Doyle was perplexed as to why we lost with all the talent we have?

 

If you didn't think it in November, Gregggg, then you don't have any professional knowledge of it now!

 

He needs ran out on a rail.

[Chips&Dipo 1,463]

This is who they get to replace Hutchens not a smart move.

He replaced Bob Kravitz. He is a columnist as opposed to a reporter. I think Hutchens was replaced by Zach Osterman?

Yes you are correct on that.

[shortspacequickness 1,034]

Disgusting. Never seen a journalist who understands less. A true know-nothing.

To even consider doing what he did...wow. Low class doesn't begin to describe Gregg Doyel.

[mdn82 25,510]

Family is off limits. Douchebag move.

Yep. Really is as simple as this. If I were Crean I would be pissed.

[Ken1950 28]

Family is off limits. Ask Coach Crean that question or keep the comment to yourself! I understand why Coach Knight didn't care much for the print media!

[wilfordhetzel 52]

I would have liked to see Bob Knight's reaction to such a classless act.

Doyel has always been a jackwad! Even when he has a valid point he seems to feel the need to be snarky.
I agree with some of the points he has made about Crean but there is absolutely no need to put that interaction out for public consumption.
If he knows her well enough to ask that question on a personal basis fine but I really don't feel that conversation needs to be made public.

[323SGrant 1,176]

There is no place for that kind of behavior! The family should be left alone.

[drewheck 749]

Doyel is a dick and the star is a joke for having him

[iamaparker1 51]

My sources tell me it was research for a new book entitled: How to Be Classless For Idiots.

[Bowhunter 2,693]

I think 90% of us would be happy to land Stevens at some point, but that move by Doyle is just totally uncalled for. Timing was atrocious! What a douche.
