Find something else to name after him. For instance: ”The Bob Knight Courtside Chairs at Assembly Hall” ”The Lee Corso Press Box at Memorial Stadium” ”The Tommy Crean Diet Coke and Concession Stand” “The Archie Miller Toilets” ”The Devin Davis Traffic Circle” ”The Xavier Johnson Express Lanes” -

I’m disappointed that Branch McCracken court won’t display the name of this Hoosier legend. Other blue blood programs like to showcase their rich tradition and pay respect to coaches who helped elevate the school’s program to national prominence. If Kentucky would play us, we’d go to Rupp and we will be traveling to play Kansas in December. They named their field house after a man that was very successful and is credited with building the winning tradition that the Jayhawks expect. Branch’s 1940 NCAA championship was against Phog Allen’s Kansas team. He was 31 and the youngest coach to win a national championship. Branch’s 1953 NCAA championship team beat Phog’s Kansas team. Branch McCracken is a name every Hoosier fan should know. -

Assembly Hall was built in part because the program that Branch created. Other things can be named after Bob. Let's never forget that IU basketball has a rich tradition beyond Bob. That doesn't take away from how fantastic of a coach he was. It just pays proper respect to the program as a whole. Without what Branch created over the decades, IU isn't the premier job that attracts Bob. -

Absent some recently discovered scandal, we should never remove the name of the court from a coach that brought IU two national titles. -

It was Branch McCracken Court before Knight won a single championship. McCracken won 40% of IU's championships. It's not as though IU was nothing and had no history before Knight. Just because McCracken was long ago doesn't mean he should be forgotten. -

Not a fan. They should put Branch McCracken on the court itself, since it's actually called the Branch McCracken Court lol... Happy and all she gave 40M for the renovation... But I'd have preferred they simply built a new arena. After all the commercialization, never felt the same anyway. -

1 pointMy point is that Knight did that on Branch McCracken Court. Knight and Branch McCracken Court go hand in hand. The legacies are tired together. I'm not sure if it was officially named Branch McCracken Court from day 1 but, if not, it was soon after. I also don't think Knight himself would want to take that honor away from McCracken. We'll just have to agree to disagree.

That can be changed and should be changed. Let's be honest here, McCracken had nothing to do with Assembly Hall. AH became what it is known to be thanks to Knight. From Day 1. -

1 pointWhile his NBA HC career may not be eye popping good, he's still coached in the NBA for 25 years, which is a feat in and of itself. And he still has the best Knicks one season record looking back 20 years. He inherited an awful situation in ATL. Not really worried about it. He seems to have plenty of energy. And his passion for IU makes up for any age related concerns.

We are kind of at that stage where on court performances will dictate the momentum of our recruiting. Arch had an ok start but could not prove it on the court. wheels fell off quickly Crean had an ok start, might have been a really good start had Mo not gotten hurt. Got recruits, had success, got the movement, could not maintain success. Wheels fell off woody has had a very good start but thus year we have to take a leap AND we need hopefully for some of the young guys to be the clear next wave of success. But we have to start showing what kind of program we are. -

Yup. And... Some earn it, and also bring the $$. And still don't get the recognition. Knight raised 5+M for the IU library, donated plenty of his own personal $, and endowed 2 chairs (law and history). IU didn't do much to recognize him. He went to TXTech, donated to their library, far less than what he did at IU, and got recognized more lol. -

Portal recruiting comes down to playing time available in most cases. IU had none to offer last cycle which is why they couldn’t get any transfers to come last year. Next year should be the year that they can attract some top ranked portal guys. Winning programs his year + available playing time = portal recruiting success -
