Is he more/less of an a-hole than John Brady?


More. Much more. Crean is a worldclass A-Hole.

It is pretty amusing that he is married to the Harbaugh brothers' sister. Kind of fitting.

But yeah I'd still take him.

Seems to me he's actually a pretty decent coach too.

Boom...One thing many basketball programs high tier and low tier all have in common is securing the mr basketball player in that state. Look at the years when LSU has had several of these guys on the same team they fared ok.


Look at all the Louisiana guys in college basketball that didn't go to LSU over the last 10 years. We'd have several more tourny appearances if they came here.

Its absurd.

and you have to think that in the pecking order, UW and IU jobs will intrigue potential candidates more than the LSU job

I'm told by some boosters that the biggest problem on the recruit end and even play end are Collis Temple and his charges. Any coach HAS to kiss Collis' ring because he controls a lot of the AAU in Louisiana
What kind of recruits did that get us the last two years? Johnny already had a lock on Mays and Sims. AAU had nothing to do with that.

Define "get it done".

He made the Sweet 16 3 out of 6 years not on probation, and the tournament 4 out of 6 years.

Cream isn't coming to bush-league program like LSU. That would like Saban going from Bama to coach Indiana football. Ain't happening.

That is what we want at LSU We want a coach that makes the tourney about 2/3 years with a couple of sweet 16 runs thrown in.

So he had LSU level success at IU

It's true to an extent, but not nearly what people make it out to be.
