the cache of coach crean

There is C.C. Sabathia, C.C. DeVille, C.C. Rider and CiCi's Pizza (barf) and now there is a new C.C. in town -- Coach Crean (otherwise known as Tom Crean & Crimson), the newly appointed head coach of men's basketball at Indiana University in Bloomington. The pundits are thrilled for IU (scroll to the bottom) and that makes me feel pretty good. And after listening to several sound bites and interview snippets with Coach Crean, I'm thrilled for IU too.

His enthusiasm is obvious and his resume is solid. If CC can do for IU what his buddy Tom Izzo has done for Michigan State, perhaps we'll finally have somebody worth naming a gymnasium after some day. I look for IU to compete for the Big 10 title within the next 3 years and be competitive every time the Hoosiers take the floor.

Go Big Red and welcome CC!
