As usual you apply generalities and ASSUMPTIONS that facts don't necessarily bear out. Certainly not all of us drank the Kool Aid. I, and many, many other IU fans, despised his teams lack of defense and number of turnovers, stupid, stupid turnovers from day one. I don't hate Crean, I just think IU admin, Fred Glass, did a terrible job selecting him. He had one good Marquette team led by one outstanding player, Dwayne Wade and that was it. Marquette folks told me at the time they were glad he left, they were underwhelmed to say the least. Later on, well before he was let go, it was apparent that character was not a major criteria in his recruiting. The fact that players on his teams consistently got into trouble off the court was a major red flag. Did he land some good players with good work ethics, yes a few, and a few that turned into NBA players, not that many, but many others had no business on IU's team.
