ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Indiana coach Tom Crean exchanged words with Michigan assistant Jeff Meyer after Sunday's dramatic 72-71 victory at Crisler Center and had to be restrained by a staff member before walking away with a smirk.
So what happened?
"I'm not talking about any of that," Crean said. "Ask him."
Michigan officials did not make Meyer available for comment. But it should be noted that Meyer is a former Indiana assistant who worked under Kelvin Sampson from 2006-08 -- an era best remembered for NCAA violations that led to Sampson's forced resignation and placed the Hoosiers program in a total rebuilding mode.
Consequently, Crean won only eight Big Ten games in his first three years at Indiana.
That's the back story.
And it might be why Crean yelled "You helped wreck our program!" at Meyer, according to the above video. (Seriously, check the video. It's great. Crean is intense.
