and you guessed it, the guy after him.
I had a conversation before the PU game with my best friend about how much of the Indiana job is actually coaching basketball? 30-40% is what we came up with. The main part of this job is being the face of Indiana basketball. You have to spew confidence, and need to have the cachet to back it up too. See you don't have to earn the respect of just your basketball team, oh no. You have to have all of Indiana high school basketball respect you, you have to have your peers fear you, and most importantly the fan base of Indiana has to have full trust in you. Once that is broken, it does not work.
Knight built a standard of excellence that will remain engraved in the hearts and heads of Millions across the state. basketball is the life blood of Indiana, and the IU job is not for the faint of heart. Gonna take a special person to turn it around.
