Knight's teams won in different ways, not always track meets.  He's the best coach ever for a reason.

Exactly.  He adapted to the situation.  When they played the Runnin Rebels in 1987 he knew they would have to up the tempo to win.  So they went on to out score them.  And off to the Championship they went.

What does Indiana basketball mean? 

I watch Carmel (the best program in the state right now)...  score 52ppg in the tourney so far. I literally do not care what style it is as long as it's a winning one. 

I want a coach that’s gonna instantly turn the program around in year or two, max. When this happens,  I want that coach committed to IU for the long haul and not swayed by big money because of success. I want IU to be the dream job and the final stop.

I know those things will happen to successful programs, but I believe Dolson is the right guy for the job and he is trying to make a statement folks,.....Building a Potential Monster!

It was 87, but Steve Yoder was the coach and they were 4-14 in B1G play...Bennett didn't go to Wisky until 1995... 

Please forgive me,I'm old.

I remember the game and year somewhat.

I want rainbow sprinkles to shoot out of a cloud every time I have an ice cream cone.

It's not that simple--there are no guarantees. Period.

This is good, but I'm not sure it could bust into the Crean top 10 :D

Not at all...I'm old too...But I remember that game well and the stink RMK caused in the post game presser because of the late start time (9 eastern, I think) to accommodate ESPN...

For me all you have to do is see what he did at Washington State.......yes Washington Freakin State.  That is a testament that shows he can win ANYWHERE.

He can win. And he'd win at Indiana and I'd love that. But he and his style don't belong here. We just spent 4 years struggling to score and now we are going to try and not score? Nah. Some coaches fit places well. He doesn't fit Indiana. From personality to playing style.

and NO ONE under God's green earth expected it- Tark the Shark likely had to replace his towel from biting into it so much...

Nice to see someone remembers.  Not surprised by who.  Smile.

I completely forgot about Yoder and Jackson too for that matter.It does seem Bennett started the turnaround so I guess that's where my mind took me.

I remember Knight being pissed over the late starting times and agree to this day.

"Try and not score" is a horrible, horrible take.  2nd in offensive efficiency on his championship team, 16th this year.

I actually really enjoyed watching that championship team. They can be boring, and I wish they played a bit more uptempo, but it can also be fun to watch when there is good offensive personnel.

This.  They're efficient, they just don't run you out of the gym.

That 87 team also averaged 82.5 ppg. So it's not like they needed a huge adjustment. They were already a great scoring team. But UNLV did average 10 ppg more.

Efficiency doesn't mean anything on tempo. Year after year they are one of the slowest teams in the nation.

I’m not buying that Bennett has serious consideration. However, it’s fun to think about being in the conversation for conference championships every season once again

Man this board really needs something to lock onto. This little desert of no-info has turned into a pissing match of people who speak in absolutes that know absolutely nothing about what would, could or can happen. Also the same point being made 35x. Relax, wait for some news.
