Wow, you're such a dumbass and just another reason this forum has gone to shit. The truth is RMK - though a GREAT basketball coach - is a jerk. There's many, many stories of him doing inappropriate things through the years that would have cost most people their jobs. But he won championships in those days and he built his legend at IU. When he stopped winning as much, he became more vulnerable and Brand fired him after some much publicized incidents. The whole thing was unfortunate, but it DID save IU from RMK demanding Pat Knight be handed the IU job if he'd retired from here. We saw how that went at TT - no good.
