(Texas officials didn’t even kick the tires, which should tell you something.) Marshall’s lack of self-awareness would make the jump from the backwoods of the Valley to the fishbowl of Bloomington a potentially untenable leap. Indiana is one of the few places that could pony up the $4 million annual salary likely needed to pay Marshall, but if Tom Crean’s personality wore on people here, it’s hard to imagine Marshall would be received better.”

Winning solves everything. If i recall correctly, Indiana used to have a coach that wasn't exactly a teddy bear. But he won an awful lot of basketball games and is still viewed as a God there. In fact, the firing of Crean is practically a yearning to get back to the days of Bobby Knight. I love that Indiana thought that Crean's personality was 'a bit much'. Kind of hilarious when put into the full context of the history of Indiana basketball coaches.
