Kentucky gets 4-5 every year, Crean never had more than 1 in a given year. All in all it doesn't matter, case in point. Calipari has consistent success, Crean does not. It's all about results.

In the SEC? That would be a cake walk. When it comes to playing h2h and his apparently superior talent is losing to Crean.....that speaks volumes.

Cream had some good players while there he just couldn’t put it together. Oladipo, hulls, seller, shehee and watdord. That’s just one team. He was good and finding diamonds, but he lacked the ability to get mcds all Americans consistently plus the creepy factor didn’t help. Crean is a good coach but better suited for a team like ga where expectations aren’t high.

Gregg Marshall

If you saw his interview when he extended at Wichita, you would realize why his isn't a candidate.

That's just downright stupid.

Look, say what you want about Calipari's methods. I never have been a fan of the OAD strategy. But you can't argue with its results....so much so that even the vaunted and venerable Coach K is employing it (maybe even better than Cal, who forged the path).

The best Crean could ever achieve, in 9 years here, was an appearance in a Sweet 16 with a team that featured two of the top 4 picks in the NBA Draft, no less. And, frankly, that team had to scrape and claw to make it past the 2nd round.

are we venerating cheaters now?

I'm familiar with Oladipo and Hulls, but who the hell are Cream, Seller, Shehee and Watdord? Wasn't Covfefe on that team, too?
