Even as I was engaging in some April Foolishness, claiming that ESPN’s Andy Katz was reporting that Indiana would hire Mike Brey, Andy Katz was actually reporting that Indiana would hire Marquette’s Tom Crean — and that has now been confirmed.
Meanwhile, “El Kabong” at ND Nation has taken some heat for his Brey-to-Indiana April Fool’s joke, which he now admits was a joke. (Money quote: “Part of me thinks the only thing I should be embarrassed about is the joke is so hackneyed a twit like Brendan Loy apparently thought of it too.” Heh.)

Crean is a very nice hire for IU.
I think he’s a very solid coach, who’ll do a nice job in recruiting without text messaging and/or three-way phone calls. I also think he’s one of the better Xs and Os coaches out there.
It’s a credit to him, I think that he stayed with Marquette for as long as he’s been there.

el kabong is a pretty good guy most of the time, but the stuff he says toward brendan is entirely uncalled for and reflects very poorly on his character.
