Does your tail wag uncontrollably and do you pee on the rug every time his name is mentioned?
He intentionally tried to screw the program when he "left"? Thats like the Menendez brothers lawyer asking the judge sentencing them to have mercy on two poor orphans.
He was a fantastic coach, one of the greatest ever. But there's no guarantee that that team goes as far if he's their coach. And recruiting wasn't rebounding because his heart wasn't in it.
Are you denying that he tried to get the other coaches to quit and have the team quit, as well?
I wasn't there....so I am denying nothing, or confirming for that matter ......were you?
Exactly. If you didn't personally witness it, it either never occurred or you can't be forced to defend it. Deniability at its finest.
If Crean hadn't missed two of the last 4 he wouldn't be getting as much heat. Oh yeah, he doesn't have any tourney success either. And oh yeah, has never made it there 3 years in a row Geesh. Those years of Knight "just making it" were his bad years. Creams bad years are truly bad- no tournament at all!
how did you do that, Bob? By framing those silly urination jokes? Thats kinda creepy....
No, it's just framing your adulation of a coach and a program you clearly know little about.
You're clearly not an IU fan. You didn't even list Haston who was an all American and 16th pick in the NBA draft. Also no mention of Guyton or Coverdale? You're beyond lost on this one.
An their results on the floor confirmed what? Most of those guys played in a national title game. What terrible results they had.
You get a little slack when you have 3 titles with the school and 5 Final Fours. You don't think that buys you a break?
I'm a huge IU fan, so you're way off on that one. Loved Haston, but he wasn't even offered by the two major programs on his home state. Coverdale was also lightly recruited, and AJ couldn't get an offer from the Big Ten school an hour from his home (he did have an MSU offer, though). Great Hoosiers all but, if the subject is recruiting, none were heavily pursued. If you're an IU fan it's strange that you wouldn't be aware of these things.
Look at Knight's last five or six years at IU. As recruiting dropped off, the results of the team dropped off. It's not hard to see if you actually followed the program then.
If that was actually the case, you'd be far more knowledgable than you are.
He got tons of slack and was handed many, many breaks through the years. Are you sure you followed IU while Knoght was the coach?
"knowledgable"? That sums it up, Bob.....That is rich.....lol
Are the spelling police on strike or something, there, Bob? " knowledgable?" Really?
Haston left after the 2000-2001 season, not after Knight was fired. Recker didn't like playing for Knoght and admitted he committed before he should've. "Hearsay" was pretty common knowledge around the team. And "taking care" of Treloar meant he'd look after him financially if he left the program.
Good catch. Kind of like catching you inventing your historical knowledge of Knight and IU basketball . . . "per say". Lol
They all turned out to be great players. Coverdale was Mr. Basketball. Guyton was first team all American and played in the NBA. I've never heard someone criticize a coach for recruiting players who go on to be all Americans and play in the NBA.
It fell off from the Knight norm no question. But most of those guys I listed were still on the 02 final four team. And it's not as if those last Knight teams were terrible. They just weren't the Knight teams we were accustomed to.
I was a season ticket holder for over 20 years while Knight was here. Still have a 3-4 ft tall stack of the old Inside Indiana magazines in the basement. I think I followed it pretty closely.
Thats plain stupid...and completely uninformed. I wont comment on your posts again. Not worth the meager effort...
That and five bucks will get you a cup of coffee. Sitting in the stands watching games tells you next to nothing about who Knight was and is..,sorry.
I'm good with that....why not just start a thread about "My favorite cheap shots at RMK" and be done with it?
Then tell us, genius...who was he? Your next door neighbor? Your ex-brother-in-law? Surely you're a genuine insider on RMK......
