Welcome to Our Hoosier Board!

Most of the posters here have been around for nearly a decade now. You'll find their knowledge and insight to be second to none. We have a really strong community and value everyone's opinions.

Feel free to jump into any thread and voice your opinion with conviction. We love heated debates and even some fanbase ribbing from time to time. We pride ourselves on the lack of moderation needed to make this board successful.

Please remember that we have been around many years and have an astute ability to tell the difference between an immature, childish, trash-talking troll and a passionate fan voicing his or her opinion. It is at the discretion of Jazen and myself whether any moderating actions should be taken at any given time. It's a very, very rare thing. In other words, no worries....you'll be fine!

Cheers,
sirbrianwilson

Knight always did it his way.

But if your way is not to bother to tell alumni whether or not you will show up and instead the word gets leaked by Dick freakin' Vitale, then your way sucks.

Knight didn't ask for this, he doesn't owe anybody anything.

Well, the salary that Knight got paid at his time at IU was mainly paid by the alumni that donate to the athletic department.

That said, I don't think Knight was ever in it to make the alumni and fans of IU happy. I think he loves basketball, and loved teaching kids the game and helping them get an education. I'm guessing the happiness of the alumni and fans was second to last on his list of things he cared about (right above his feelings about the media).
“He’s always been a guy — maybe to a fault — he would always try to do what I said. That seems like something simple in coaching, but those are the guys I hang my hat on. We’ve had some guys in our program, we had a couple guys that felt I had a bias towards E’Twaun Moore. And they were right — I do have a bias towards E’Twaun Moore. I like guys that go to class, that are academic All-Americans, that come early, that stay late, that love the game of basketball. I am biased towards those guys. And I’m biased towards Rob Hummel. But I’m also biased towards their habits, their work ethic, and how they carry themselves."

And as fans, we don't owe anything back.

He doesn't have to come to event. That doesn't mean that we have to bite our tongues and say we like it.

As you grow older, the most important thing you learn is that if you hold onto grudges forever, the only thing to keep you company in your dieing days are those grudges.
