Why doesn’t she want it to get out?

the press will be at every game, sos same same. The hall can only seat 17k people so same same.

What changes by people knowing it’s coming or not knowing?

Does she think the standing and waving and video tribute are a "spectacle"?

No I think she is OK with that.

Probably doesn’t want media stalking who would end up crowding Knight. But it will be very emotional. Guarantee many fans will shed at least 1 tear.

The court is already named after Branch McCracken.

And that needs changed. And has needed to be changed for over a decade.

That might be true but wasn’t RMK the one who helped get the court named for Branch? If so he would not want it renamed for him.

Lol yeah dude only won 2 NCAA Championships. Integrated Big Ten basketball and iirc served his country. Clearly doesn’t deserve to be honored

Dang! I should’ve realized that. Thanks for the reminder. What can we name after him? Someone I work with said we should name Assembly Hall after him but no way the corporate name is coming off the building.

No way it happens, but I'd be fine with the stadium named after him.  Or a statue in front.

He only won IUs first 2 titles, forget that guy.

Assembly Hall (old habit -- I hate calling it Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall) is a pretty big building. If memory serves (I have been in Bloomington just once since graduating in 1991), it also has ticket offices and most (if not all) of the athletic offices. So in essence, it's more than just a basketball building. 

If they wanted to, they could do something like this: Once you pass through the doors and into the part of the building where the basketball games are played, you could be entering Bob Knight Arena at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall.

Don't know if the Skjodt family would go for that -- or if the Knights would -- but it's just a thought ... 

[Honkyman 1,670]

Doesn't the IU basketball team need a new locker room? As coach, Knight destroyed a bunch of lockers.

No AP Top 25 for us, however, I believe that is a good thing.

[BGVille Hoosierfan 3,004]

Did anybody see at about the 11 minute mark in the first half when there was a loose ball on the floor Ohio State picked it up and Archie went ballistic and slapped the scorers table and just ripped Franklin for not diving for the ball. Franklin was immediately yanked and didn’t play the rest of the game. That play ended in a shot clock violation for Ohio State but Archie was definitely living by his word...if you’re not gonna hustle, you’re not gonna play and it’s that simple. I LOVED that when I saw it happen.

McCracken can be honored in a different manner. Bobby Knight made Indiana basketball, Indiana basketball.

If true that just makes McCrackens accomplishments all the more impressive.

I didn't say they did, just saw somethings around the internet talking about the possibility, even from some co-workers out of the pUKe fan base that mentioned it. I think if they can string together some games playing like they did Saturday, ****** 1 or even 2 of the road games this week, they could definitely be in. They finished 4th of the teams getting votes today with 50.
