Indiana has to play the rest of this season without left tackle Coy Cronk, but he will still be with the team.

In fact, Indiana coach Tom Allen joked about Cronk’s new role along the sidelines.

“He’s going to be coach Cronk here soon,” Allen said.

As the tweet also indicates, Cronk has undergone surgery to repair his injured leg and is using a scooter to move around at the moment.

Cronk had to leave on a carter after suffering a leg injury against UConn a few weeks ago. Cronk is a senior captain and a major loss for the Hoosiers, but he will redshirt and come back for one more season in 2020.
