PA-PLAYA Crean always loaded with talent, yet too many under performing teams....injuries played a role this year....but they have to be hugely disappointed in him as a coach, especially given that they beat Kansas and UNC in the non conf. B1G seems to get a lot of criticism this year, but IMO they had a lot of good teams, say 20-40 in the rankings, whether it be ap, coaches, bpi, rpi, but no upper echelon team....Point being they could not finish .500 or better in a conference that was ripe to be taken. The way it was shaking out early, I thought UW was going to take it with a challenge from Perdue.....but Uw hit the wall and could not hit the broadside of a barn. When I think of great coaches, I think of guys who can get the most out of his guys, teams that exceed expectations. I think Bo Ryan and how his teams from a talent perspective pale in comparison to Creans, yet they were in the top 4 in the conf year after year. Crean had some great teams and a few really good years, but he also had some teams disappear too. It will be interesting to see where he ends up.
