He never rested, he always coached us to the very end regardless of the score. Why do I post pictures of Bob Knight? I want to do my part to help keep the nostalgia alive. People will never understand the impact this man had on his players, the city of Bloomington, and Indiana basketball. I'll always pay homage until the day I die. Indiana basketball, "was just different"!

 

This is why we need kids and coaches who understand where they are.   Knight ain't coming back.  But he set the bar.

Too bad he's decided to instead demonstrate the inability to forgive. He's reportedly at odds with players who have come back to Indiana or who have stood by their loyalty to Indiana. The only thing he has demonstrated in the past 15 years is that when you don't get your way, pout and hide.

 

Would be great to have former players more involved in how the program is run. Guyton would be a fun addition to the athletic department.

To be clear, and I'm sorry of this didn't come across, I was posting that specifically and solely because of Guyton's quote that "Indiana Basketball.....was just different."

 

And I believe it should be.  Which is why I think we need to have a high bar, recruit kids who get it, demand our coach understands, and we win consistently with those people. Really, the point of that had nothing to do with Knight.

For those of us who experienced Knight's reign---it was "just different".  I understand it will never be "the same" but IU basketball can still be great again. We can't expect Knight to come back---but we can expect and demand excellence from our team on and off the court. Crean is running out of time to show us he's the one who can do it.
