He is a POS.

Sure he wasn't the greatest guy but he was one of the greatest basketball coaches in the history of the sport. Both things can be true.

I'm just glad he's not the coach anymore. There's finally hope once again

Me too

Same for me. Really wish it would have worked, but I love Archie.

I just can't get past the things he's done. JoePa on a much worse level is in the same category.

What Paterno did is absolutely unforgivable. There's no comparison between him and Knight

Maybe true for you. Least we're on the same page about PSU.. truthfully I despise them much more than OSU now.

Bob Knight is a huge part of Indiana being one of the top programs in history; without him Crean wouldn't have been able to say "because it's Indiana".  I don't like that he hasn't come back and I don't condone all the things he did as a coach, but there is no getting around what he meant to the program.

As an individual, he's complex.  He did a lot of good things, did a lot of bad things too.

Yeah I can never forgive Penn State for condoning that behavior just to win football games

How could anyone not hate RMK.. what a lowlife POS.

I don't understand how you can throw a fit about a perceived slight towards our recently fired coach, but call another one a POS. Seems highly hypocritical

A. One choked a player
B. One is a good person.

Tell me there isn't a difference. There's no hypocrisy. If you believe so, I'm not sure what to tell ya.

You got upset that some people said bad things about a former coach. You said awful things about a different one. If you don't understand hypocrisy I don't know what to tell ya.

When one is warranted I have no problem with it... it's when it isn't warranted. Why's that hard to see?

Not overly upset though.. was just tired of reading it honestly. The jabs at Crean that is.

Some people might be tired of jabs at Knight. You have no problem with one group, but tried to rally the mods to end the other. That seemed overly sensitive and hypocritical to me.

Whatever, I don't care enough. It just seems weird that you'd get so upset at one but not the other.

I mentioned one was warranted? I brought up the mods because I was honestly asking if their were mods on this site, I didn't know. Maybe should have just said it in another post. But, basically.. we defend BK even though he choked a kid and won't come back to IU.. and we throw CTC under the bus because he lost too many games? Eesh

MODS:



Fwiw you won't find many people on here who actually defend what RMK did. There was a big debate a while back on the RMK topic. Lol

On any topic we don't really curb talk unless it gets personal between two members or extremely off topic. If a mod is involved(I've been guilty of it many times) the other mods will call them on it. But for the most part we just try to let everyone have fun and talk about all thinks IU or sports related.

Cool man. I just didn't know who they were. Good to know though.

[Hoosierfan2017 20,947]

I've always wondered and since it was brought up, what exactly is the "Toon Squad"? 

Also is everything good with Hovadipo? I haven't seen much from him on here this summer.

No worries. You're new so I never thought it was anything more than curiosity. It's all good.

Originally I think the intent was like Jr mods or something along those lines. But I don't look at there really being any difference anymore.
