Does seem odd that anyone would uproot their family and move to a place they have not seen in 28 years. Happy for the change and hope it works out. Can't remember if I've ever heard a coach mention Georgia basketball and national championship at the same time. Do love dreaming...
As far as energy, lol, absolutely! I laugh because he's pretty maniacally driven. He's a workhorse to be sure on that. Crean has been a positive energy around Bloomington in so many ways, I'm sure he'll bring the same to Athens. TBH, I'm not familiar with the "climate" of recruiting in GA, but he's got a knack for finding 3 and 4*s that fit what he's doing. It's hard to say about consistency, since so much is coming to light now for the shoe/school pay. IU was in the dregs of NCAA sanctions due to Kelvin Sampson, Crean kept IU compliant and above board, so he's as clean as can be expected. That said, it may have caused him to miss out on some of the bigger names. But, players like Zeller, Thomas Bryant, Yogi Ferrell, etc. that wanted to play for a clean coach at a respected program (and their parents had a lot of say in that) continued to come in. Not sure if I actually answered, lol!
I believe that Ainsley (his youngest) is the only kid that still (technically) in the household. Megan has graduated college, and Riley is an aspiring MLB-player in training.
-EDIT- Didn't mean to say it's not odd, just wanted to point out that his 2 oldest are pretty much grown
So send him suspenders! Just so he wins. It's time... Go Dawgs!
How long would it take for you to move to a new job that paid 3.2 million a year. I could be there this afternoon.
Long enough to find the car keys!
After the way he was treated by a lot of morons here, I'd be gone in a heartbeat. His son played basketball for Bloomington North High School- the rival school (Bloomington South) chanted "Tom Crean sucks" a couple of years ago during a game. People had put For Sale signs in Crean's yard. As an April Fool's "joke", a professor told a class at IU, with Megan Crean as a student, that Crean had been fired. the class cheered. Both of these were in 2015, but the stupidity of some fans never ceases.
