Groce can't coach-ey.

From their Saturday night exhibition: Illinois 82, Washington University of St Louis 75 (Wash U 15-10 in Div III last year)

True.

He was completely outstanding

I'm thinking this commitment is gonna stick. Hope the coaching staff doesn't ground him.

Did your coach and ever drop trou and take a dump at midfield in front of the team? IU's did.

Coach Avery Johnson is really good. Between Bama and Pearl at Auburn UK is gonna start losing some conference games.

Wow.

Excellent coach with a proven winning record in the B1G, good point guard, experience, outside shooters, and Donnal and that German dude are pretty good bigs.

It's probably not appropriate to attach conventional, sane logic to a guy that has had as dysfunctional a life as Jadlow.

Michigan is being vastly underrated as a B1G contender for the coming season IMO.

I'm a 1987 IU grad, and I understand the way things were. In many respects, I'm glad they're not like that anymore.

Like...Neil Reed. And Lawrence Funderburke. And Luke Recker. And Mike Giomi. And Jason Collier. And Delray Brooks. And others who were "un-involved with the program." Do you really think the administration acted solely on the Reed video, and didn't have other player complaints?!? And you're calling me naive? Sigh.

Agree to disagree. (If allegations are true), parents DID NOT know that their kids would physically and verbally abused to that extent.

I can only speculate: He was a fantastic basketball coach Recruiting back then largely consisted of an in-home visit and an offer; no OVs or extended processes. You got Coach Knight or Wooden in your living room saying "I want you to play for me"...and that was all she wrote. I'm reasonably certain that if a high, high end recruit visited a practice, RMK was not flinging tampons at players with parents watching. Knight's recruiting suffered as he got older, and his transfer rate increased. Knight DID stress academics and discipline; an attractive pitch to most. A player that was belittled and potentially abused by Knight was probably scared sh_tless of him, and would not have been likely to speak to a recruit about it; imagine the Knight repercussions for doing so. Though I wouldn't be surprised if it quietly happened through back channels now and then. Recruits may have heard stories, but negative recruiting from other programs existed and they probably (rightly) took it with a grain of salt.

I'm quite certain that no 18 year old and their parents would have knowingly consented to the alleged behavior by Bob Knight. Can you imagine? Parents of a recruit: "Coach Knight, will you mentor and discipline my son with 'tough love'?" Bob Knight: "Yes; and I will do so by squeezing their balls, cracking a clipboard over their head, flinging tampons and excrement at them, and mocking their insecurities and facial tics." Parent: "Cool - tough love. Sign us up!" PS: I'M NOT SAYING ALL OF THESE ALLEGATIONS ARE TRUE, OR THAT JADLOW DOESN'T HAVE AN ULTERIOR PROFIT MOTIVE. BUT...THERE DOES SEEM TO BE A MOUNTING BODY OF (CIRCUMSTANTIAL) EVIDENCE, + THE IRREFUTABLE REED VIDEO.

Nice gif

Let me summarize: Sandusky was pure evil. Paterno was a pathetic enabler. Knight was condescending and occasionally violent. For my kid I would choose "none of the above."

Well that's just a bunch of silliness. TB and Happ are far, far better players than at least two or three of their "top six". Also, if Nebraska wins seven B1G games, I will be absolutely shocked.

Well....if Purdoo is too slow, MSU has lost their two players over 6'8", and Wisky is overrated, who does that leave for the B1G's best team? I can't imagine which team that might be ;)

Every generation going back to pre-historic times thinks that "kids are soft these days." Don't believe me? I have an actual transcript of Cro-Magnum Mungf talking to his grandson, Caveman Brangh: Mungf: "Brgnngh mrgg MATDDCC nmmp Brangh klnckt!!" (translation: Brangh, you need to put down that spikeless club and beat your dead mastodon like a man.) Brangh: "Pssrrgh blrgh Grdbbc mlick oprd." (translation: Oh Grandpa, spiked clubs are sooooo mezzozoic.) So there.

If true, I'm pretty sure Darryl Thomas didn't come to IU expecting THAT.

Agreed about Jadlow, but I've learned enough to also know that we don't even know a small percentage of the bad stuff RMK did.

Glad that we currently have a coach that seems to be a quality human being to his very core.

This piece by Kravitz is not an opinion piece, and doesn't use any unnamed sources. Jadlow put him self out there, but whether one trusts Kravitz has very little to do with this article,
