Looks like Crean to Georgia per....

...espn.

[warriorfan4life]

It's official, Georgia just put out a press release. Think that he will do a very good job there and elevate them into the top half of the conference.

[CaribouJim]

I thought he he was going to end up at Pitt with his prior tenure there.

Just seems like a weird fit. Hope he does well.

As a Southerner, I was surprised at this. While some non locals have succeeded, it is a harder path. Crean isn't the type to be embraced by the locals. Not so much the fans. but the high school coaches and networks that he will need.
Not saying it is impossible, but as a Yankee, he will have a harder climb.

I get what you are saying pbiflyer about the local coaches. Just curious, is that the case in Atlanta too? Atlanta seems to have a ton of transplants.

I think he would rather recruit Atlanta than Pittsburgh and the Monongahila Valley.

Agreed. Pitt in the ACC is a hard sell to recruits. Pity, that.

That sounds like more of your politician's fake sincerity. Not sure, of course, so that tells me you are superb at your craft.

...or maybe you are assuming that TC, like you, can't pronounce (or spell for that matter) Monongahela River (not "Valley"). I should file a tort, or something like that, against you for your post rife with ineptitude although I do agree that Mayor Beluga is a phony and I fully expect that he will not pay me for the two tickets I bought him for Sunday's game at the AL.

That is all.
