Tom Crean Screamed at Michigan Assistant Coach Jeff Meyer: “You Helped Wreck the Program” [Video]

All, College Basketball, Video Michael Shamburger March 11th. 2013, 10:02am

In the immediate aftermath of Indiana 72, Michigan 71, instead of looking for someone to hug, Indiana’s Tom Crean had some choice words for Michigan assistant coach Jeff Meyer: “You know what you did. You helped wreck the program! You helped wreck the program!”

What was Crean talking about? Well Meyer is a former Indiana assistant basketball coach – back in the Kelvin Sampson days. Meyer was on the staff when Sampson was cited for impermissible recruiting phone calls. The NCAA slapped Indiana with rules violations. It decimated the program for years, until Crean revived it in 2012, and this year, the Hoosiers are finally a Championship contender again. [via RTV6]

Crean: “A professional misunderstanding I had after the game. On the way to the plane, I talked to him on the telephone … I apologized.”

“We want this to be a place where people can fulfill their needs for highlights. It’s a news-based show, but it is not two people sitting at a desk reading highlights and then breaking down the X’s and O’s. We are going try to have a bit of fun.“
And thus ended any chance of FS1 being seen by me.

Best part is the assistant who put his hand in front of the camera, as if that would do anything to help alleviate the situation.

Been awhile since there’s been good coaching hatred in CBB, you’re not seeing anything like John Chaney threatening to kill Calipari in a postgame press conference or Bruce Pearl and the guy who used to coach Detroit refusing to interact going back some 20 years…coaches today are soft

2a. Asked about the future of Fox Soccer Channel, Fox Sports executives deflected the answer. “We absolutely want to maintain the leadership position we have in soccer,” Shanks said. “If you are in the business, you have certain responsibility to help grow the sport by putting the best games and shoulder programming on Fox Sports 1. We will continue to have a soccer business no matter what happens to Fox Soccer Channel.”
Good riddance. Tell them to get an HD feed worth a fuck while they’re at it.

Crean is such a douchebag.
The real comedy is the revisionist history around here about the Sampson years. Essentially the local media/fanbase have come to the collective decision that Kelvin was the lone gunman and did this all himself and that the fans/media were against it the whole time

4e. During Fox’s presentation last week, the network mocked ESPN by showing a robot in a video repeating the phrase “Tim Tebow” over and over again.
Bravo, Fox. Bravo.

So wait, Fox Soccer isn’t going to be turned into FS1? I just assumed considering that without the EPL, all FSC will really have is the Champions League.

Douchey. Crean should be celebrating and realize that if the program was indeed wrecked that makes his turnaround more amazing. Instead thus scene goes on his record and sullies triumph

Yeah I guess it’s Fuel or Speed or something that’s getting the switch. Fox Soccer will still have Scotland and Italy, I guess.

“I want to emphasize there was no incident of any abuse ever,” Gabel said. “I never forced myself on any individual, and any allegations of that nature are absolutely false. Any relationship I had was consensual.”
He went on to say, “Looking back on it now, I understand that my conduct nearly 20 years ago and longer was still inappropriate. I’ve apologized publicly for that and I’m sorry for crossing that line. I understand that inappropriateness more than ever now.”
Last week, speedskater Bridie Farrell told Milwaukee public radio station WUWM that she had an improper relationship with Gabel during the 1990s, starting when she was also 15 and he was 33.
Awesome. So I’m sorry for fucking 15-year-olds, but they WANTED it. It wasn’t like I raped them. Solid defense.

it’s well documented that a large portion of the iu fanbase did not like sampson, the players he was recruiting or the manner in which he was doing it. especially ex players, they were pretty vocal about their feelings on sampson. yeah i mean fans are going to support because they want it to work out, but there were a lot of people condemning sampson, beginning to end.
