Thanks for the story. He also has had to deal with pretty severe penalties due to the previous coaching staff's actions and hasn't really complained about it. He was down to something like 7 players his first year at the helm with 6 of them being freshman (those numbers could be off, admittedly) with player defections and Crean giving at least one the boot for inappropriate behavior. Lots of coaches wouldn't do that. I, too, am a Crean fan and think it's just a matter of time before IU again becomes a force.
