Tom Crean eager for television opportunity with Turner Sports
Indiana basketball head coach Tom Crean doesn’t shy away from the media and isn’t afraid to speak his mind. Although the Hoosiers aren’t in the NCAA tournament for the third straight year, he is making the most of his “offseason” time.
Coach Crean was contacted late in the season to see if there was interest should Indiana not be playing in the postseason. When IU …
