I just saw that video for the first time. That was pretty bizarre.

The only way it makes sense, at least to me, is if the assistant said something to Crean or someone else associated with IU about the Hoosiers being lucky to win, etc. Otherwise, why would Crean pick that particular moment to bring it up to that assistant, especially with TV cameras all around?

That assistant also recruits Indiana as his main territory I believe, so there could be something there, also.

Crean yelled at a Michigan assistant after their game saying that he helped wreck the program. The assistant he went after is a former Indiana assistant under Sampson when they got in trouble for recruiting violations.

I personally think Crean is a very good coach, not a perfect one, but a damn good one. That said, I don't agree with some of the things he does, and because of both his success and decisions, I have grown to dislike him a lot. I just find what he did there really weird. There must be something else behind Crean's anger in that situation because Crean was not a part of the IU program when Meyer was.

I was hoping someone would bring that up. That part was creepy!

I agree. As many press conferences and public appearances these high profile coaches have, you'd think they would know how to handle something like that better, which makes it even more bizarre. I'm in no way dialed in to coaches, but it seems like Meyer is considered a class act around, so who the hell knows what it was about. Still, just a bad approach to whatever it was about by Crean.
