Stuhoo Posted February 18, 2025 Posted February 18, 2025 It's Btown Banners Challenge time! A couple of years ago I realized that the entire internet had a total of zero pictures of Larry Bird in an IU uniform during his few weeks on IU's team in 1974. In fact, there were zero pictures on the web of Bird with Knight! That is, until this board issued an all points bulletin and an infrequent poster had an old newspaper clipping of Knight and Bird. That's my signature pic and for me seeing that is priceless. So now? I am issuing a new photo challenge. There are many, many pictures of Bob Knight and Coach K together. Many. Coach K was an IU Assistant Coach for one season; the historic 31-1, 1974-1975 season that started with Larry Bird in the preseason. So I am issuing a challenge for anyone to come up with a picture of Coach K as an Indiana Assistant Coach from that season; bonus points if the picture is of him in Assembly Hall and on the IU sideline. For instance, this is from 1984 Olympics. There are plenty of pictures of the two of them together that year. THIS is what RMK looked like in 1974: realTomCrean, Home Jersey and OliviaPope40 3 Quote

Magnanimous Posted February 18, 2025 Posted February 18, 2025 Tried to take a picture of 1975 IUBB vs Illinois. For a moment I thought this was K, but other shots indicated it was someone else. I don’t know if K was on the sideline right next to Knight during games… Home Jersey 1 Quote
