Why is life this way for Tom Crean?
That's the question I came here to answer.
So basically, I asked Tom Crean why more people don't like Tom Crean.
"Well, you know what happened last March, right?" Crean asked.
And I did. But I waited for him to say it. And then he did.
"Tom Crean sucks."
As the story goes, Crean and his wife, Joani, were at their son Riley's high school basketball game. It was a road game. Against a rival. And when Riley checked-in and walked onto the court, some students started a "Tom Crean sucks" chant that filled the gym.

Equally hard was what happened to Megan Crean, Tom and Joani's oldest child.
She's a student at Indiana.
"Megan is remarkable," Joani said before telling a story that … well, man, listen to this story.
"One of her professors, on April 1, announced to the class that Tom Crean got fired," Joani said. "He said 'Tom Crean was fired this morning.' And Megan was sitting in the class. And people cheered. And then the professor said … 'April Fools!'"
I mean, can you imagine? You're a student, sitting in class, surrounded by friends, and your professor is joking about your father being fired. And your classmates are cheering.
