Indiana: We Know Drama

When Indiana announced that respected head coach Tom Crean, formerly of Marquette, was taking over their scandal-scarred program, most observers thought the season of drama, featuring recruiting scandals, player walkouts and the resignation of Kelvin Sampson was finally put to bed.

Eh, not so much.

Thursday night, little-used freshman Eli Holman had a meeting in Crean's office. Holman was reportedly intending to transfer and was seeking a release... but the conversation became heated and police had to intervene. According to the official statement released by the university:

The conversation was very cordial but unfortunately, it did not end that way. His behavior took (Coach Crean), along with the other people in the office, by surprise. We saw him as a danger to himself and wanted to take precautionary measures to help him. We felt bad for Eli and hopefully were able to help him.

I do not anticipate Eli being back at Indiana. We will do our best to help him move forward and wish him well.

Just a guess... but I have a feeling Holman won't be swamped with offers from new schools after this.
