Tom Crean used Twitter Tuesday to try landing a job for one of the Indiana basketball program’s assistants.
Aaron Weaver has given IU 5 great years, including now as our Video Coord. He is as good as any we have ever had. He is ready to move.

Aaron really wants a operations or Administrative job in college or pro sports. I need some leads. Mbasket@indiana.edu to help me help him.

According to his bio on Twitter, Weaver is a grad student at Indiana and a graduate assistant for the basketball team. Maybe Crean didn’t have any room to give him a job on staff, so this is his way of trying to help out the kid.
Pretty cool gesture by the coach, right? I can’t think of too many others who would openly tweet like that in an effort to get a graduate assistant a job. But Crean also is a lot different from most coaches.
