Tom Crawford

What is this guy’s deal?  Just listened to his comments on the Wolverine.com podcast with Chris Balas.  Basically shit all over Juwan Howard as a coaching candidate.  Called the “Fab Five Scandal” The biggest scandal in college basketball history.  Blamed the “Fab Five” for the “empty arena at Chrisler in the early 2000’s. To his credit, Balas did try to temper the comments.

I can’t speak for anybody else, but the Fab Five was the most exciting time in Michigan sports, period.  Not basketball, any sport.  I wouldn’t trade it for anything and I certainly don’t blame 19 year old kids who played years earlier for attendance issues at Chrisler.  Blame Mary Sue Coleman and Bill Martin for how they handled the situation and Brian Ellerbe / Tommy Amaker for how they coached the team.

Let’s celebrate bringing Juwan back, let’s have the Fab Five reunion and and put the banners back up (they should have never come down!).  Tom Crawford, take that bullshit back to your EL terrestrial radio show where they want to hear it.
