Tom Crean's postgame locker room speech

[biteoftheapple]

It runs to 2020.

[BGleas]

Yes, but not having lost his best player in between. 2011-13 was essentially the same team. Some role guys came and went, but it was Zeller, Watford, Hulls, VO, Sheehey. If we're successful again next year it will be while adjusting to losing the best player on the team. 

 

We've already seen him have a 2 year run.  I don't have any doubts he can have a year or two here or there.

Gotta love Coach Crean!

I don't expect much drop off next season, really.  Not necessarily win the conference, but definitely compete.  There is still a lot of talent on the team.

[BGleas]

Agree, I wasn't saying we shouldn't compete. I'm saying while Crean has had a 2-year run in the past, not one where it's a different team. The 11-13 run was basically the same team for two years. We absolutely should not have much drop-off next season, but it will be with Crean losing his best player/leader. It's going to require retooling the team, developing new leaders, and probably altering the style of play a bit. 

 

It's not just rolling out the same team for two years and then rebuilding afterwards.

Just trolling. Ban me.

In that speech, CTC is wearing a red/white watch.  Does anyone know what brand watch that is?  It's pretty sweet looking and I would like to add it to my collection.

[biteoftheapple]

I dont know what it is, but some cool ones here;

Saw it clearer in some other press conferences and it looks like this from Swatch.

Oh my gosh, Tom Crean makes 3.5 million dollars a year and wears a swatch watch?

Watch update, seems like he switched Swatches on us.

Looks like this one. Wonder if he's got an endorsement deal. 

[Naturalhoosier]

Thanks LI!  I reached out to Jeremy Gray.  He said he would check in to it...but that red/white Swatch linked the other day seems right.  $70 on Amazon.
