I just saw a you tube video of coach knight where he returned to assembly on feb 8th you can clearly see he is the most loved person ever in Indiana basketball----and like him or hate him----he was a great coach

Hard to argue about Knight’s coaching ability. With his personality I’m Not surprised Indiana basketball fans idolize him.

But....... the difference between a good program and a great one?........
KY has won 3 national titles under 3 different coaches since the last time IU won a title.
For them it was about a great coach, for us it is about a GREAT PROGRAM!
See the difference?

Paulcat, I always said he was a poster child for a bullying campaign for school!

I see handycat beat me too it, but it was most definitely Branch McCracken that was responsible for building IU into a power like Rupp did for Kentucky. Knight just continued it.

Wife's Mad. Told me we never talk anymore. And just last nite while watching super bowl told her 2 or 3 times to get me a coke and popcorn. Also told her not to forget to take out trash in the morning. Ain't that something. Also told me I was too indecisive. Can't figure out what to do about that. One nice thing I guess. She called me a pro crastinator. Don't know what a crastinator is but I guess I'm a good one for her to call me a pro. Gonna wait til tomorrow to look that up though. I love her but somrtimes can't help but thinking I should have told uncle Junior to keep his coon hound pup and stevens double barrel and also his youngest daughter.
