The Hoosiers were 28-66 over Crean's first three seasons, considerably worse than the first 3 years at UGA. They made the NCAA Tournament four times over the next five years, reaching the Sweet 16 three times.

Last week Josh Brooks, the new AD, told the AJC's Chip Towers: "Through my meetings with coach Crean and his staff, I feel very good about our ability to adapt to the new environment."

Said Crean: "If I were a first-time coach, I'd be scared to death. But compared to what I through at Marquette and Indiana, this is nothing. I don't say that flippantly. I say that confidently."


Crean doesn't appear to be going anywhere for the time being. Might as well support the team and hope for the best, folks.
