HoosierFaithful Posted December 4, 2019 Report Share Posted December 4, 2019 Some very nice things to say. Thought it deserved its own thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IUDan93 Posted December 4, 2019 Report Share Posted December 4, 2019 Coach Hamilton knows what IU was, so when he says we look like the Hoosiers of old, we should feel pretty optimistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macomb hoosier Posted December 4, 2019 Report Share Posted December 4, 2019 Total class. I can't believe he coached at Kentucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgambill Posted December 4, 2019 Report Share Posted December 4, 2019 He is one of my favorite coaches in college basketball. You can also tell his kids respect the crap out of him and would run through a wall for him. Don’t think he deserved that tech tonight. Refs called every travel on them but missed some of ours...could have been salty but was classy instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billingsley99 Posted December 4, 2019 Report Share Posted December 4, 2019 Coach Hamilton is and has been a class act. Man looks great for 72 years old. I need his secret Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always have 2-3 coaches who I watch from a distance and grow to really like and he's always been one. His teams are very tough/fast/physical. Multiple S16's and Elite 8 recently shows the following. Find a good coach and just stick with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need his secret A) Absolute class act. And probably underrated at this point for what he's done. 500+ wins is nothing to sneeze at. B) Man has 40 years on me and just looking at him, there's zero doubt he could kick my @$$ up one side and down the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a presence that demands respect and you see it in his teams. It's not fear it's respect. Been a big fan of his work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You also know he wouldn't hesitate to unleash hell on you if you cross him one too many times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't remember who it was exactly, but a guy like Hamilton was approached by a younger colleague who said "I hope I'm in as good of shape as you when I'm your age". To which he replied, "Son, you're not in this good of shape now." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier83 Posted December 4, 2019 Report Share Posted December 4, 2019 Always respected, Hamilton. What he’s done at what I would call a football school is impressive. Class act. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ironic that you mention that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
