Harbaughs believe in brother-in-law Tom Crean at Georgia: ‘He’s like a jackhammer’

Tom Crean’s brother-in-law was along for the hour-and-10-minute ride from Purdue’s campus to Indianapolis. They were returning from Indiana’s second to last game of the 2016-17 basketball season, which ended in an 86-75 loss, and the writing was starting to appear on the proverbial wall. More than likely, after nine seasons, Crean was going to be let go.

Never mind the fact that Indiana suffered a couple of crucial injuries that changed the make-up of that team, which was one year removed from a Big Ten title. Never mind the fact that Crean directed Indiana, after an initial three years of heavy NCAA penalties from to the previous coaching staff, to three Sweet 16s.
