If the overall clearance is sufficient, it shouldnt spin. The reason for spun bearings is usually from lack of oil, when the bearing and journal are starved of oil, they get hot and gald, and the journal seizes to the bearing and takes it along for a ride. Also if the clearance is too tight and the journal is out of round, the biggest part of the journal will "squeegee" the oil off the bearing as it turns again starving it of oil.
