I've got a story.  I made the trip to Bloomington once to go see Cook Hall, after I'd walked around for a little bit seeing everything Will walked in heading to a team workout.  He stopped and chatted for a couple minutes and signed my cap, then he used his key card and let me in the closed off area so I could watch from a balcony.

He has done so much to get this program back where it is today (with or without a NCAA bid, we are still back). Hopefully his work ethic can carry over and last a lifetime within the Indiana program. I am thankful for everything he has done for us as fans, but more importantly to represent the Indiana basketball team. He will be missed, as this is the end of an era in Bloomington. All in all, he will go down as one of the most influential players of Tom Crean era.

This maybe be stupid but my all time favorite Sheehey moment is the time Will shaved his head because Crean said he couldn't wear a head band to keep the sweat out of his eyes. He saw a problem and fixed it the only way he knew how. Shows his personality.

Gonna miss Will.
