Yeah, what idiot would want more money, and to coach at one of the top 5 or 10 college basketball programs of all time? Sure the first year or two will be rough with possible sanctions and whatnot, but I think over the long run it would be a good career move for him. I'm not glad he's leaving, but it's hard to really blame him. Would this have anything to do with either James or McNeal thinking of leaving early? Obviously James shouldn't, but I'm wondering if either of the two would think of testing the draft now, or maybe it has nothing to do with it. Tony Bennett That would really be a contrast in styles, I don't really see him fitting in there. Edit: I forgot Crean's huge extension made him one of the highest paid coaches so it might not be money, but I'm sure history has something to do with it.
