    On this episode of The Coach Mark Gottfried Show, Coach Mark Gottfried sits down with longtime college basketball coach Tom Crean for a candid conversation about legacy, loyalty, and what winning really requires. Before the championships and press conferences, there were small gyms, Division III programs, and mentors who shaped the foundation. Tom reflects on his early days at Alma College, the coaches who poured into him, and the relationships that shaped his journey — including a personal connection that goes back decades through the Harbaugh family. From walking into the press conference as the head coach at Indiana to navigating the constant noise and change that comes with big-time college basketball, Tom shares what people often misunderstand about coaching. The business evolves. The spotlight intensifies. The expectations rise. But how you win does not change. Mark and Tom unpack why winning has never been about hype or headlines. It’s about people. It’s about standards. It’s about building the right team and staying committed to development long after the job title changes. Because great coaches don’t stop coaching. Whether they’re leading a program, mentoring former players, or guiding leaders in business, they carry the responsibility forward. This episode is a masterclass in mentorship, resilience, and the timeless principles that outlast the game.
