I will tell you though, it isn't just people my age that get tired of it. There is no arguing his greatness, but for the love of God, there's multiple ways to skin a cat. I just don't see any need for comments like "back when Knight was here" or "the way Knight did things". Idk just not for me. My memory of BK is us getting absolutely boat raced by Pepperdine.

As for people your age getting sick of it that is sad since it is still talking about the Hoosiers. Maybe if there was something to talk about recently you wouldn't hear as much Coach Knight talk. Maybe so, good point. But, I'm not wrong that you can be a successful coach, even at the D1 basketball level, and not do things BKs way. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well yeah in every sport there is more then one way of doing things. But the thing is the Hoosiers have tried doing it different and failed everytime, the only real recent success they have had is the Coach Knight way.

I feel there is a basic blueprint to be a successful coach. 1) You acquire as much talent as you can. 2) You then get that talent to perform extremely well. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way Rutgers fears any Purdue player that’s not Ivey or a center Rutgers beat the #1 team with one scorer and no highly ranked recruits. PS. Loss is my fault for playing Pub trivia instead of watching at home….”it’s Rutgers…they lost to Lafayette…we got this” got this shoved 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be glued to my Monitor as I watch IU bomb 3's like cannonballs falling into the sea.

People talk about Knight because they actually watched his teams play. I would be shocked if there is even one person on this forum that watched one of McCracken's championship teams.

Just hope XJ reigns in the poor decisions a little bit / learns when it’s a good idea to push it, good idea to pull up to shoot, and when it’s not. We can’t have a PG who can’t make FTs and plays out of control. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
