Georgia didn’t need to sell Tom Crean on the men’s basketball job. By the sound of it, this is the job Crean wanted.
Crean spoke glowingly of the Georgia program during his introductory news conference Friday afternoon. He even brought up Vern Fleming as one of his first favorite players when he was younger.
Crean, who had a Final Four run at Marquette and three trips to the Sweet 16 with Indiana, declared the Bulldogs to be a “basketball program inside of a great university.” He loves the fact that Georgia's football team is steeped in tradition.
