At the end of the day, the case for any coach is made on the court. So here's Crean's overall resume:
Overall 356–231 (.606)
Tournaments (NCAA): 11–8
(NIT) 2–3
NCAA Regional – Final Four (2003)
C-USA regular season championship (2003)
2× Big Ten regular season championships (2013, 2016)
2× C-USA Coach of the Year (2002, 2003)
Big Ten Coach of the Year (2016)
Personally, I think that's pretty good.
But Tom Crean might just be better off the court, then he is on it. Very cool of him to show up to Assembly Hall yesterday after he was fired just days earlier to support the women's program in an NIT game. But that's really not all that surprising. Tom Crean is a great man, and whatever you think of his coaching abilities, would represent the university well.
Here's a nice writeup on Tom Crean, the man and the quiet, random acts of kindness he is known for:
