    There really is no way to elegantly leave an NBA team for a college team given how much later their schedule goes. What other choice did he have? 

    There is no elegant way to do it. If he really wants the job then he'll leave rather than miss the spring period. Not that the Thunder have any real title chances either.

    Seems every year the NCAA puts the "mid-majors" against one another 1st round and hides them from the Power 5. This year with VCU-St Mary's and Wichita St-Dayton. It's quite blatant.

    It's extremely blatant. Doesn't make any sense either, as WSU fans travel really well.

    The first 3 seasonss at IU were a complete rebuild.  In the six seasons after that Crean went to 3 Sweet Sixteens, went to the NCAA four times and won the conference twice.  Bobby Knight had zero conference championships and zero Sweet Sixteens in his final six years at IU.  Since end of the 1992-93 season Indiana has won the Big 10 a total of 3 times.  Tom Crean has two of those titles in the last six seasons.  Since end of the 1992-93 season Indiana has advanced past the second round of the NCAA tournament only 4 times total.  Tom Crean was was the coach of three of those teams in the last six seasons.

    Maybe I'm in the minority but I still consider them one of the blue bloods along with UK, Duke, UNC, KU, UCLA, etc. If they haven't had a string of really good seasons since the 90s then maybe they're not. But Crean was making $3M a year which is one of the highest in the country, so they have the ability to pay like a blue blood program.
