hired to coach at Jeffersonville, his alma mater and mine. He's had an interesting career arc. Hope he does well there,
Sherron Wilkerson
- Thread starter Brewskie
- Start date
I hope so too. He made some bad mistakes as a young man/college student that cost him dearly. I understand he's become legal guardian for a nice/nephew who needed a stable home. I'm glad to hear he's matured.
Yes, I hope all goes well for Sherron. I wish him the best. And Brewskie, Jeff is my alma mater as well.
Madison dropped the ball there. Standard 'parents who know better' ran him off.
Ah, yeah, I haven't followed his recent history so didn't know where he was prior. And yes, parents that know better are out there, most of which have enough skeletons to fill many closets themselves.
I remember national media calling for RMKs firing after the head butt. That incident is part of what inspired the "when my time on earth is gone..." poem.
In this woke day and age knight would be fired for that. They would likely proclaim also that Knight is a racist and did it on purpose.
Man hasn't butted heads since the daze of Cro-magnon man not knowing any better. Centralized thickening of the frontal bone has been found in what few skulls have been unearthed. It is believed to have been used as an early means of getting another one's attention only when loud grunting didn't seem to work.
I started at IU the same year as Sherron-1993. Everyone was so excited thinking him and Steve Hart were our back court of the future. And Richard Mandeville and Robbie Eggers would hold down the inside. Yeah that all worked out great.
Robbie Eggers did more for us than Richard "I'm not a Dick" Mandeville.
That’s been the standard at Madison for years. By the time I hit HS there in early 00’s, most of the team was filled with the “town names” that hadn’t gotten any better since 6th grade. There were a number of guys in the halls that would have played TEAM ball that could have easily replaced those guys.
The Hystetics have an interview podcast from a couple years ago with Sherron. I came in with a negative opinion, listened to him talk (and yes, he took responsibilities for his transgressions) and by the end I concluded we need more people like him. Really worth the time for me.
I'm a grad of JHS as well. Before Wilkerson.
Old gf at IU was a JHS.
in today's climate, RMK wouldn't have survived the leather whip incident. RMK would not have been coaching us vs Duke in the FF and Ted Valentine might have called a fair game.
I believe Knight was a coaching genius, but don’t miss how he evolved into a caricature of himself with his behavior.
Not sure I buy the Pat Knight excuse but I do think with Wilkerson he wanted to get in his face up close as he could but don't think he intentionally head butted him. Sherron has always maintained the same. Part of what made him such a great winner was also part of his demise.
There is no Mr Basketball for 1993
Kojak was stripped as well for selling drugs within a school zone. Was a great year for basketball. I played against both of them.
but he has totally turned his life around
Coaches just can't get out of Logansport soon enough I guess. When the Berries hire their new coach, he'll be the 4th coach they've had since the 2018-19 season.
No one likes taking extra time dealing with dingleberries when you're already late for work. You're twisting them off with a yank of your fingers before packing your bags to get out of Logansport, no thanks from the Berries. The only thing worse is pulling out a stubborn nose hair...makes the eyes water before the infection works it's way to the brain.
Eff woke. I am so sick of the crap

Players of today probably wouldn’t have given him the whip. Times change.
Don't forget the Robert Foster !!! lol And Monte Marcacini (sp)
And Michael Herman coming in the next year ('94) as a late addition to the Patterson/Miller/Neil Reed class. Those 2 classes were the beginning of the end of RMK.
I had a post deleted on this thread that had something to do with monkey pox.... I don't even remember what I said. In general I stay away from controversial statements. Could someone clarify to me what it takes to get a post deleted and if anyone remembers what I said please remind me as I'll try to refrain from repeating the same mistake
You replied to a post by Monkey Pox. His was a childish mouthy post that got deleted. So when his went to the trash, so did yours. So did mine. No biggie.
Thanks for the insight. Still new to the site and not sure what it takes to provoke the ire of the mods
