CSP Posted July 29, 2017 Posted July 29, 2017 Because he made IU basketball, IU basketball. No. He didn't. We had two NCs when he came to town. Friggin choked a player. Quote

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.

Hoosierfan2017 Posted July 29, 2017 Posted July 29, 2017 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. ALASKA HOOSIER and Str8Hoosiers 2 Quote

woodenshoemanHoosierfan Posted July 29, 2017 Posted July 29, 2017 I'm just glad he's not the coach anymore. There's finally hope once againMe tooSent from my SM-T377V using Tapatalk Hoosier Guy 1 Quote

JSHoosier Posted July 29, 2017 Posted July 29, 2017 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. ALASKA HOOSIER, thebigweave, Dalton26 and 3 others 6 Quote

Josh Posted July 29, 2017 Posted July 29, 2017 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 Dalton26, thebigweave, Crimson and Cream and 3 others 6 Quote

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. Quote

Josh Posted July 29, 2017 Posted July 29, 2017 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. thebigweave, Hoosierfan2017, Dalton26 and 2 others 5 Quote
