Official: Crean to Georgia
- Thread starter Pryght
- Start date
So, name the only other two from Georgia who averaged at least double figures in the NBA. Don't cheat.
I remember hearing on here for 7-8 years how incredibly lucky we were to have Tom Crean grace our campus with his presence. That other elite programs would love to have him! And he could get about any job he wanted.
Yea, it took him a year to get a job at the powerhouse of Georgia. What standards the Crean cult had for over 3,000 days.

Are you sure ? I've never heard you express that sentiment before. (I would have added the dws but anyone who's been on this board for more than ten minutes knows it isn't necessary).
The next time you post something positive will be your first time...
Diversity of opinion is what makes a forum like this stronger...no?
I know it is not popular here, but I do think Crean is a good guy at heart. He just gets carried away with the hype as he tries to continually sell his ability, his team, his program, etc.
He's already started with the Crean-isms at Georgia, i.e., "Make no mistake about it....", "Absolutely...", and "No question about it...", followed by statements of promise or fact that is more hope than guarantee of reality.
Good luck to him but I'm very happy with CAM and his no-nonsense and anti-drama approach.

What the hell is Georgia paying him for if not to win big? My God. Just get a student volunteer then and save the money.
Well, there were people who were just fine with Gerry Dinardo, Bill Lynch and Cam Cameron .....
They are paying him to babysit the basketball fans and media, so the administration can focus on the football team.

Hall of Famer
I would have picked Vern and Dominique. I don't know Vern's career stats, but Dominique was a double figure scorer.
What board were you on? Dudes approval rating was at like 15% in year 8...but you’re just trying to show off, aren’t you? Lol
He probably just cut and paste his post since he says the same thing in every post.
As do you, continually acting as if you're the final arbiter of everything having to do with Indiana University basketball.
There is SO much truth in this post.
My take from the Rivals MB:
An insecure little man. One of the few coaches to not play in college and overcompensates at every opportunity. No feel for the flow of the game, overcoaches. IU couldn't guard its own shadow and he thought it was a good idea to switch defenses mid-possession. Spends the PC's telling you how much he knows about basketball. The program was all about talking and not about doing. I always felt he had to just be an exhausting individual to be around. Not going to call him a fraud but he tries way too hard to let you know he knows what he's doing. His act wears thin. IU shoulda nuked him years before they did. Real easy guy to make fun of. Very odd mannerisms. He's toast without NBA talent.
Best piece of advice: have your AD get him a nice UGA belt. And keep him out of the Dale Carnegie courses.

Thanks for posting this. I will never watch another Tom Crean interview for the rest of my life, but it’s the closure I needed. I can’t believe this guy is making millions.
Based on just the part of the full speech I listened to I give him four years max before the players don’t listen to him and the basketball fans can’t stand him. He needs intervention!
I don’t have a clue what the heck he is trying to convey to the audience. He is a classic used car salesman. He must have a great agent.
Perfect situation for him. If he can win a conference title every 4-5 years, they won’t care if he finishes 7th-11th for the other years.
He was pretty much guaranteed a good recommendation from IU staff, what with us supporting his life style. Georgia obviously should have come on here and asked us. Or done a Google search on "CTC".
What do you mean "move on" it takes years to recover from this this!
