Indiana/Crean model for Wake?

While I got a chuckle out of this, if we bring back all of the horribly wrong things rjkarl has posted over the years we'll have no room to discuss current happenings.

We're rebuilding. I don't like it either. Nobody does. But nationally, if you listen and read the major media outlets, we're considered to be looking better this year with a great recruiting class coming in. [Redacted] is generally regarded as a program builder and his NBA background is pretty well thought of. We've made clear changes to combat the torrent of media-loving headlines about beatings and cheating and suspensions and arrests and sexual assault that has been associated with Wake Forest over the past 2 years.

It sucks. [Redacted] doesn't look like the answer - at best a stepping stone. But virtually nobody outside of the lunatic Wake fringe shares the opinion that [Redacted] is a complete moron or total failure or that Wellman should be removed.

Tom Crean: Final Fours: yes

UnWiped Ass boy: No. NCAA tournament? No, NIT? Yes...wins...Ummm...did I mention that I coached Carmelo?

Tom Crean Pedigree: Michigan St, Pitt, Marquette (history of success)

Unwiped ass boy: Scout, UMBC, Air Force, Colorado (history of failure)

Tom Crean: Coaching Philosophy: Crean established a reputation as a strong recruiter, selling recruits on the notion of joining a family and making sure that players' families are involved in the program.[48] While at Marquette, Crean had been considered by some to be one of college basketball's best talent evaluators.[17] Crean's attention was cited by Madison native Wesley Matthews as the biggest factor in his decision to attend Marquette instead of the University of Wisconsin–Madison, where both of his parents had been athletes.[49]
Crean's basketball philosophy involves defensive pressure and fast breaks. His style involves contesting each of the opponents steps on the court.[10] Crean utilizes the halfcourt defense, and requires great ball pressure, great help, challenging shots, and defensive rebounding. Shot selection is extremely important, focusing on spacing, inside-out attacks, penetration and kick.[50] On offense, Crean has a reputation for his magnitude of offensive sets and their multitude of options, with one opposition coach estimating about 400 different sets run. [51]
Crean is known to excel in public relations, charming alumni and press.[52] Crean started the tradition of Midnight Madness at Marquette, which was seen as an immediate success.[53]Between 1999 and 2006, the team saw a 70% overall increase in attendance, three total attendance records broken, and 1.5 million fans pass through the turnstiles.[17] According to former Marquette athletic director Bill Cords, "He's done so many things outside of basketball for the good of the community and the good of people in the state."[43]

UnWiped Ass Boy: Coaching Philosophy: We hope to not get blown out every night, nothing is my fault and did I mention that I coached 'Melo?

Tom Crean: Good Coach

UnWiped Ass Boy: Horrible coach.

LOL
 
I forgot about [Redacted]'s melo stupidity. He dumb lucked into coaching the guy for a season and a half.
 
Maybe my highwater mark on the boards...should never have ventured onto the tunnels.

That or helping to out RJ's big lie about almost catching Hank Aaron's 715 HR. Good times.
