I’ve been preaching this for a while. Howard is winning with Beiliens (sp?) players and culture. Can he sustain it? That’s the part that remains to be seen. Anyone remember Mike Davis doing basically the same thing???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For one it would hush up the Indiana crowd. If it’s him he needs to have a strong supporting cast on the bench. Like Lewis, Fife, Guyton, Woodson, or Wittman. Any of those guys would help and a guy like Phil Martelli wouldn’t hurt either. I agree completely. It will definitely be interesting if more leaks come out today... ill be on a plane for hours... currently bored in Vegas airport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true I think Howard is a very recognizable name and can say I know how to get you to the league successfully so that’s the difference between him and Davis IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They finished 19-10, 11-5 in the B10 and were a 5th seed I think making a run to the title game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not saying Davis was a good coach at all, all I’m saying is the verdict is still out on Howard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Several never got to play under Knight...I think the only thing for certain was he was the right coach at the time for THOSE kids. I didn’t see anything Davis did that was special. Not the x and os. The biggest thing was he took the pressure off them. Those kids played for him because they loved their coach and they loved each other and IU. Special group of leaders and heady ballers. Tough as nails...IU may have never had a team so mentally tough and down right scrappy. It was a special group of kids that Knight put together. Who knows how it would have changed under Knight...but that was his last great team...what he instilled in the veterans was key to their long term success...but kids like Jeffries and other young ones never were coached by him. Not sure it could have turned out any better...unless Hastons had come back to play one more year. If Knight was there would he?? The eternal what if’s lol. I’d just go with it was a special run by those players. They excelled under the situation they were in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
