    Former Indiana basketball head coach Tom Crean is known for being a little bit of a quirky guy, and a story that his former player Cody Zeller told this week provides the perfect illustration of that.

    Inspired by his brothers-in-law Jim and John Harbaugh, Crean sent his team managers out on a mission to bring live bats back to Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall.

    Confused?  Listen to Zeller tell the story the Titus and Tate podcast.

    This is officially one of the wildest stories in college basketball 😅@CodyZeller confirms that Tom Crean has tried some crazy motivation tactics thanks to the Harbaugh brothers ⬇️ pic.twitter.com/DdzlJThboF
