ephul Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 Bob Knight has made positive comments about Archie being the coach in the past. I'm curious if this leads to him coming to a basketball game... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 Great to see him come back to the campus and maybe this will take off the curse that IU basketball has had since his firing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bushmage Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 Bob is the missing link between what my dad grew up with as an IU fan and what I have grown up with in my short time as one. I thought he would die before this would happen, but this is a pretty cool thing to witness especially if you're on the younger side. I'm hoping this is his way of trying to make amends and move on from the vitriol without having massive fanfare and press conferences. Enjoy the game, Bob. Glad to have you.

Snozzwangers_und_covfefe Posted April 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 I don't care what camp people belong in(regarding liking, despising or being indifferent to coach Knight), him being back on campus is a good thing. I hope this leads to him taking in a basketball game at some point. Even if it doesn't, just him being on campus is remarkable in my opinion and should be a taken as a positive.

BobSaccamanno Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 I see that Bob Hammel is there. I am going to venture to guess he had something to do with this. They have a special friendship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was definitely planned. Saw a quote from Fred that Coach expressed an interest in coming to the game and they would be happy to host. Maybe since he was in town on Thursday (Indy) for an event he just decided to swing in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell that to all the other former players who pleaded with him to show up for them. AJ Guyton comes to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it royally sucked that he did not heed AJ’s request, go to the hall of fame induction, attend the ‘76 celebration etc. etc. That being said, RMK’s time is slipping away and this is a good life lesson for everyone in regards to holding grudges etc. Nearly everyone that holds grudges primarily harms themself and misses out on good times and memories. Just think of how he would have been received at numerous events, including the ‘76 reunion. It would have been epic and he would have enjoyed the camaraderie with the players and the adoration from the fans. I really got tired of his “s**t but am very happy for him if he joins IU nation in a “group hug” before it’s too late. PS.....It would be great, while he is on campus, if he could take a few minutes to remove the curse! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
