I'm sure anyone can dig up unflattering in-game photos of nearly every coach in college basketball (even Cal). The difference, however, is that Crean always looks weird - makes weird faces, has a hunched back, yanks his drawers to his armpits hundreds of times per game (the other night they had the camera on him for 10 seconds - he yanked them up 3 times during that short period), claps and paces incessantly, kisses and caresses his players, and sticks his tongue out / licks his face who knows how often.

Cronin is just an angry dude. I wouldn't call him weird - that title belongs completely to Crean - but he's definitely up there in having anger management issues.
 
Crean is the GOAT when it comes to weird looks, it’s not close. Seems like a good dude otherwise. Cronin is a smartass.
 
I loved ridiculing Crean when he was with the iUse2bes. Now I'll admit I actually find him okay. He's not a great coach and never will be. But I find him a lot more likeable than a jackass like Bruce Pearl, and certainly than Mick Cronin.

He comes from the lineage of pitino “they have a face you want to punch” coaches (Cronin, Dick Jr, Masiello)

He’s a good offensive minded coach. Not so much on defense. I think he’ll have Georgia ranked in the future. Maybe some round of 32 or sweet-16’s.
 
Cronin cant coach and needs to be punched in the face. I am actually pulling for Crean a GA. One is I like Georgia sports and he actually runs good stuff. Hes not a bad x and o guy
 
I'm really surpised there wasn't a gif or capture from the weird look Crean did Tuesday right after UGA fouled EJ Montgomery. It was around 16:30 mark in the first half.

Just imagine if Crean had become UK’s coach in ‘06? Many wanted him to replace Tubby. He would have won just enough to not get fired but UK would not be in the hunt for a title either.
 
Before anyone starts getting all weepy over Tom Crean, watch this - IU game vs. Minnesota from 2013. Watch Crean coach a flop in the final minute...

Now he puts it into action....



I find it funny that there was a similar incident/review in the final minute of our game with them on Tuesday. Throw in how he got the goat touchers whipped into a near violent froth for our last trip to Ass. hall and I have a hard time cutting him any slack.

call a technical foul on the flopping team and that crap would stop immediately

Few people on here nailed it.
Crean is strange, but he is actually a pretty solid guy.
Cronin is just as he seems- totally unlikeable.

The 'flop warning' was a step in the right direction but it needs more teeth. IMO if you pull a fake this egregious, ala Chris Jones, cause a lengthy stoppage of play, there has to be a significant penalty.

If you watch Crean it's crazy how many times he tugs at his belt/pants to pull them up. It's developed into a nervous tick I think, along with the pacing the sidelines. Such a weird human being.

Co-sign. Crean can do creepy things, but I really enjoyed his work on television when he was not coaching and love how he coaches his teams to play offensively. Makes the games enjoyable. Not a lot of whining to referees at all from either coach in the UGA/UK games too.

Mick Cronin is an insufferable, lying little dip****. I knew UCLA was in trouble when Cronin said "We want to lead the country in scoring". That's now his MO and no matter my personal dislike for coaches like him who don't value offensive basketball/scoring, you have to be who you are as a Coach and he started off lying. He's always blaming anyone but himself and is a horrible tournament coach because he can't make any adjustments when opponents throw something at him/his teams.

Yeah, the IU Crean was far more entertaining than the UGA CTC version. It's just not as much fun now IMO.

If u put a Fitbit on Crean it would probably count about 10,000 steps with his ridiculous frantic pacing up and down the sideline every game.
Looks like a crazed madman.
Cronic is underrated as a jerk and overrated as a coach.
 
Crean was solid in studio, will have that to fall back on when he eventually gets canned from UGa.
 
Interesting Crean is married to Jim Harbaugh's sister...Joani. Not a bad looking lady....he did OK for himself.

I don't know anyone who wanted Crean and I don't recall anybody on here wanting him either. The only mention I remember was a media member bringing him up as a possibility (Andy Katz I believe).
 
Can someone post that Tom Cream look-alike, side by side picture with Beavis/Butthead? That pic is one of the funniest I've ever seen on here......
