Georgia basketball coach Tom Crean appeared the newest episode of "March Madness 365 with Andy Katz" released Monday to discuss the past two months he's spent leading the Bulldogs.

In the interview, Crean discusses how he approaches coaching the Bulldogs, the first meeting he had with his new team and why support from the community and fan base is so important to Georgia’s success.

“That to me has been the absolute priority: be with the team, be with them on the court, be with them off the court, establish recruiting, get to know the people you get to know and then go out and establish the fact that we’re going to have some fun with this,” Crean said. “This could be a fantastic program, but it can’t be hat way without the support of the students and the community and the state.”

The entire podcast can be heard on iTunes.
