I guess I could live with Crean if he turned around the program
Go read the PEEGS Indiana hoops message boards about CTC. You want to trade ACAG for this guy??
No, I don't want to. I have better names on my wish list. But there's a lot of smoke pointing to this happening. We could do worse I suppose. I just want to resurrect this basketball program to the level it was on when Wimp patrolled the sidelines with his scowl and his hideous plaid sports coats, then I'd like to go beyond that. I watched many a game at Coleman when it was the Plaid Palace and I enjoyed every minute of it. Now it's like going to the hospital and sitting with a relative on life support.

Crean wouldn't be my first choice but I don't think it would be a bad hire either since the program under Grant has usually only been about one player away from the level that would be enough for most fans: getting a NCAA bid most seasons and being excited about a legit Top25 team every few seasons.
Like I've said before, I don't think they will go the mid-major "good but short" resume route again unless they miss on a few preferred choices.
On Anthony Grant: he was not nearly as bad of a coach as frustrated fans rant about it. His rosters were usually NCAA bubble to NIT type talent overall and that's how they usually performed. His big shortcoming was that he missed on recruiting the extra difference maker (particularly at the most needed positions) every single year. No rational fan criticizing him thinks he should have recruited like Kentucky or Arizona but simply that he didn't recruit to the level of every coach at Alabama since the 1970s.
