In one of ESPN’s more regrettable decisions, they hired two familiar names to build out its college basketball coverage this week.
You know them both, of course. Tom Crean was recently a failure at Indiana, while John Thompson III was recently a failure at Georgetown. Neither of those schools matter, but you might remember the many times the Syracuse Orange defeated both in important games.
Now, ESPN hasn’t expressly said that Crean and JTIII will be hosting shows together. But if you’re going to hire this much mediocrity at the same time, it only makes sense that you’d be going for some sort of land speed record in terrible, no?
