Because he made IU basketball, IU basketball. 

No. He didn't. We had two NCs when he came to town. Friggin choked a player.

Just now, Hoosier Guy said:

Hell yeah to the utmost limit. Knight made IU and no one can say otherwise

Yeah I mean I understand that some people have soured on Knight because of how he has acted post-IU, but there's no denying the impact he had on the program. Heck, he hasn't stepped foot in Assembly Hall in almost 17 years and he's still synonymous with IU basketball to a lot of people.

Yeah, in 1940 and 1953. Cincinnati and Oklahoma State both won two NCs 50+ years ago too. Does anyone consider them elite programs? Bob Knight turned IU into a blue blood program. 

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 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.

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.
