Are you sure you want to use the word "spanking" when referencing that video???
Never mind, it's taken you 6 years for your first post, you won't get it.
Is this Jaret Fogle? Come on now. Fess up! You must be getting some time in the prison library to make these posts. No mater how many other criminal graduates of IU come and go, you will always be he image of an IU grad most folks will carry.

I think TC has some very strange quirks. I would say he is an overly confident nerd with perv tendencies, but only when he is winning. He is real humble when losing, but rides the high horse when he is winning - no humility. At least Izzo puts forth a humble persona when winning or losing. Crean tends to morph into this arrogant monster when wining. For example, he waited until he was winning before he began to confront other coaches in the BIG about issues (See his comments about Painter's negative recruiting, and the on-screen nonsense with the UM assistant).
Furthermore, Crean seems to hold the individual opposition players responsible for disrespecting him when they play well against IU. That perspective fueled his confrontation with OSU's point guard. In the famous vine with Ryne Smith, he is giving Ryne that look, probably because Ryne dropped a 3 on his team. I think this year, when we play IU, each time a Purdue player hits a basket, they should stare at Crean. It will unnerve him. He will be foaming at the mouth by the end of the game, especially if IU wins.
Third item: If a player is very good, and contributes to the team winning, then Crean is his bestest buddy. On the other hand, if a player struggles, the assistant coaches are the ones who have contact with him, and Crean remains aloof. This happens even if you have been a 2-3 year contributor. You were his buddy, then suddenly you are not. If someone else comes along who plays your position better, then bang, you are no longer getting any communication or attention from him.
Forth item: Blatant negative recruiting. Word on the street coming from Indiana high school coaches and AAU coaches is that 30% of Crean's recruiting pitch is negative toward the other schools the kid is considering. He swings wide, saying things about many other coaches and their programs. Louisville, Xavier, OSU, and Purdue have all been the target in these Crean discussions per my sources. For someone with by far the largest recruiting budget in the BIG, he still struggles to get kids. He gets enough to win, but for how long?
Mogul and those other weird boys that post stuff here can keep that SOB Crean. I think he is a poor representative of a good university (yes, some of you know I am an IU fan). "Creep" is probably the best way to describe him. He is a good example of being able to accomplish something if you throw enough money at the problem, regardless of the competency of the coach. Unless he finds another Dwayne Wade, he will never get IU to the FF . Too many issues with his coaching, besides his strange personality.
When an IU troll points to this thread as an "IU thread on the Purdue board", remember it was started by an IU fan trolling on the Purdue board.

He's Right they get the best players its too bad they have a coach that still can't coach "2nd round loss to Michigan" in the Big Ten Tourney then we beat them by 20pts. Would of never won the Big regular season if they didn't have such a weak unbalanced schedule.
Both. Wonder if he has a picture of Jared on his wall? Or maybe the other way around?
Hmm you know he and Jared do look a little alike.
