Tom Crean may have just out-creeped himself. This afternoon, the Indiana coach accidentally sent out this tweet to his followers:
@TomCrean: I am doing great. I have been thinking about you alot since last weekend. A whole lot. How are you doing?
The tweet, obviously meant to be a DM, was quickly deleted and followed up with:
Sorry. That was to a new recruit. Wish I could tell you who. Sent it by mistake. Don’t panic. Lol

My wife and daughter are laughing at my lack of ability to use technology. Sorry purdue fans, it’s not what you want to think

I don’t think it’s just your wife and daughter laughing at you, Tom.

this is hilarious.

Does it creep anyone else out that the way he texts/tweets recruits sounds exactly like the way someone might text a hookup?
August 3rd, 2012 at 2:50 pm
How very Sandusky of him.
August 3rd, 2012 at 2:50 pm
HOW is Indiana landing recruits!? This man speaks to them like lovers. He will not relate well once generation y recruits run out and he faces the brute defensive shells of those in generation z.
August 3rd, 2012 at 2:50 pm
I really wonder if his wife is laughing or is she wondering who the hell that was too???
August 3rd, 2012 at 2:51 pm
Hey, Crean stole my line!!!
August 3rd, 2012 at 2:51 pm
ow ow. maybe him and his recruit are going to a chick-fil-a “kiss-in”.
August 3rd, 2012 at 2:52 pm
What recruit tweets a coach and asks them how they are doing? And what coach says they have been thinking about them alot since last weekend. “A WHOLE LOT”
This doesn’t pass any reasonable smell test.
August 3rd, 2012 at 2:52 pm
Just as I suspected……..a 1982 Buick with no hubcaps!
August 3rd, 2012 at 2:53 pm
I’m not buying the recruit story. Somebody’s got some ‘splainin’ to do to Mrs. Crean…..
August 3rd, 2012 at 2:53 pm
Hey Tom, hit me up and I’ll show you how to add fun pics to those tweets.
August 3rd, 2012 at 2:54 pm
What a wierdo
August 3rd, 2012 at 2:54 pm
Someone needs to send out @TomCrean Stay away from my wife, it’s over.
August 3rd, 2012 at 2:54 pm
No way this was to a recruit. BUSTED!!!
August 3rd, 2012 at 2:56 pm
That’s not a Buick that’s a 76ish Monte Carlo
August 3rd, 2012 at 2:56 pm
14) My thoughts exactly
August 3rd, 2012 at 2:56 pm
It was sent to UK officials. Still not over it yet?
August 3rd, 2012 at 2:57 pm
Luckily, the NCAA passed a rule which allows coaches unlimited contact with recruits via social media/texts. Jesus, what is Tom Crean thinking? He must really be desperate after that Sweet 16 beat down.

Arkansas does need a new football coach…
August 3rd, 2012 at 3:02 pm
I see… So this is how you do it the “right way”.
August 3rd, 2012 at 3:04 pm
Wanna go ride on my harley? Oh wait, that was for @bobbypetrino. I
August 3rd, 2012 at 3:06 pm
SOMEBODY GOT CAUGHT!!!!!
August 3rd, 2012 at 3:14 pm
Cut @tomcrean some slack. He’s still trying to figure out how this dub ya, dub ya, dub ya, thing works.
August 3rd, 2012 at 3:18 pm
Everyone is laughing at him because he spelled “a lot” wrong. HAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHHAHA!
August 3rd, 2012 at 3:18 pm
That sounded a little too much like Sandusky. EWW!
August 3rd, 2012 at 3:20 pm
I’m more creeped out that a millionaire that works at a place of higher education can’t spell “a lot” correctly.
August 3rd, 2012 at 3:30 pm
“Thanks Limpie…been thinking a lot about you too. Don’t worry about that little “failure” you had the other night while we were watching Team USA and Anthony Davis block all those shots. Guess it brought back some bad memories. Anyway, I’m tied up for Saturday…. I’ll call you.”
August 3rd, 2012 at 4:13 pm
“Creepy” is not the right word. This sounds like Creen is a graduate of the Sandusky School of Children Communications. I hear Creen even offers shower caps to recruits that visit IU.
August 3rd, 2012 at 4:15 pm
Karen Sypher strikes again!
August 3rd, 2012 at 4:24 pm
I think that is a 76 Chevy Malibu

I would love to have a twitter transcript between him and Peter Jurkin. It would probably read a lot like a Conway Twitty album.
August 3rd, 2012 at 5:37 pm
Saw Coach Crean at Chick-fil-A with a ‘recruit’ – or two.
August 3rd, 2012 at 5:43 pm
I’ve been thinking about you a lot too, coach Crean. Especially when I’m on the toilet.
August 3rd, 2012 at 5:54 pm
“Coach Crean, The Harbaugh Brothers are on line 1″.
August 3rd, 2012 at 6:06 pm
Imagine what the media would say if Coach Cal Tweeted the exact same thing. Everyone would be accusing him of cheating on his wife. the media would be having a field day with this
August 3rd, 2012 at 6:59 pm
This guy is too strange….who tweets a message like that to a recruit?…I do not believe it was to a recruit. I guess we can expect more tweets like “I was just in the shower and i was thinking about you..how are you doing?” or “You were amazing last night..I can’t stop thinking about you”. Maybe the Sweet 16 beatdown has caused him to snap…
August 3rd, 2012 at 7:00 pm
I guess Crean really does “love” his players…
August 3rd, 2012 at 7:26 pm
LOL @ 11 !
August 3rd, 2012 at 7:48 pm
You know what they say about Sex Panther colgne…60% of the time it works everytime. Give @tomcrean and that recruit about an hour and they will be doing the no pants dance.
August 3rd, 2012 at 8:38 pm
What a freakin Perv.
August 3rd, 2012 at 11:27 pm
Busted

Now I’ve got to change my number.
August 4th, 2012 at 3:47 am
I thought the recruiting deadline or whatever ended at the end of July??
August 4th, 2012 at 7:24 am
Hate to say it, but I have to respect Crean. It’s nice to be able to hate the Hoosiers again.
