Updated: 4/22/08 Click here for Zbonia archive Words Baseball is weird unlike other sports baseball congratulates players for hustle and playing way game supposed to be played. For other sports it is expected. In football do you ever hear a running back getting called out for not hustling on a running play? No. In baseball, a player grounds out and gets cheered to hustling down the line.

Yet, the players have to sit out for a year when they transfer. The whole system is garbage... From: Mark Moroni [mailto:mark_moroni@yahoo.com] contract extension thru 2016-17? so there must have been an exit clause/buyout in the contract? From: Mankiewicz Andrew-CAM056 That is a major problem in college sports to begin with. They hold these students to their scholarships, yet coaches can change jobs at the drop of a hat. I was fine with Crean heading back to MSU. But, not IU. Now I hate that program even more. ------ From: Buchanan, Jay [mailto:Jay.Buchanan@NC-4.com] I agree. Even though I have no connection I am always a little disappointed when a coach that has something good going moves on to what are perceived as greener pastures. From: Z [mailto:aziola@yahoo.com] i am hurt by this. i hope they get someone good crean took program up a notch and thought he was gonna stay for long haul --- "Buchanan, Jay" <Jay.Buchanan@NC-4.com wrote: Sorry to see that Crean is leaving. Indiana sure doesn't look very attractive right now with likely NCAA sanctions and the possible loss of all 5 starters and Marquette is on the rise. I guess it must be the money.
