After a bumpy first month as the Hoosiers coach, Crean spent Thursday riding around the Indianapolis Motor Speedway oval with three-time winner Johnny Rutherford, hoping the changes at Indiana will go as smoothly and quickly as the laps. Crean acknowledged the program's image had been damaged by recent allegations of recruiting violations,... http://us.rd.yahoo.com/sports/rss/ncaab/SIG=12efiutc1/*http%3A//sports.yahoo.com/ncaab/news?slug=ap-indiana-crean&prov=ap&type=lgns Yahoo!

Thu, 08 May 2008 14:03 GMT Nate James showed up for his latest job interview with little on his resume that seemed to qualify him for the position. But hey, at least he was familiar with the ultra-successful boss. Then again, intimidation is always a concern when you're trying to land a gig on Hall of Fame coach Mike Krzyzewski's staff -- even if you once played for Coach K at Duke. http://us.rd.yahoo.com/sports/rss/ncaab/SIG=12i4c3na5/*http%3A//sports.yahoo.com/ncaab/news?slug=ap-duke-jamesjourney&prov=ap&type=lgns Yahoo!
