Indiana Hoosiers head coach Tom Crean dropped some gum on the floor during Thursday's NCAA basketball game against Sam Houston State, but had absolutely no qualms about picking up the gum and putting it right back in his mouth.
Crean explained himself on Twitter and used the opportunity to pander to the faithful Indiana fans:
In our opinion, the 5 second rule can't possibly apply to gum, as it is sticky by nature and naturally will stick to any dirt or germs the second it touches the floor. Coach Crean obviously disagrees.
Dentyne Ice must be really good gum.

The gum I dropped tonight was a fresh piece of Dentyne Ice. No 5 second rule was in effect.

Now, even if it was used, it wouldn't matter. Branch McCracken Court at ASSEMBLY HALL is the cleanest and greatest court around.
