On one of Dandakich ramblings, which I enjoy by the way. He is kind of a Dan Bernstein/Mike North (chicago version); however, actually been there done that. Anyhow, his rambling was something like... "I'm done with the guy.....he doesnt help his players....I got the BG and WV jobs on my own.....I was blacklisted by Knight after leaving IU......." something like that. Obviously there is more to the story. After calling Pat Knight childish names on air -- I was surprised by Pat not going there and instead was the bigger person. Pat Knight is as straightforward as it gets and he didn't get on the defense.

Listening to Pat Knights interview, he acknowledged he knows Dakitch does not like his family. To my surprise he didn't blast him, but thanked him because Coach Knight made Dakitch play one on one with Pat everday when Pat was in High School (I think) and he didnt complain. Pat thanked him for making him a division one athlete and said he would never take that time away. Dakitch changes his stories so much, I don't know what to believe. I do think their bad blood started because he claims Knight said he will let Datkich take over for him, never happened. And then he didn't help him het his BGreen job. I could be wrong with that story, just going over the many podcasts I listened to last year while doing home repairs.

With all do respect, how do we really know if todays game was in the works? Rumors spread quicky, and by his appearance at Marion his health and the weather did not keep him from the game. People in the know, including friends of players, jump on rumors as well.

So, after a victory and hard fought game, did Knight ever make it?

Don't know why many think the staff wanted Cross also. They have two kids in the class that can shoot the ball and have similar skill sets. Geronimo is the type of athlete that makes a team win, period. Quick, has length, can jump out of the gym, and has a competitive high motor. Geronimo was who they went after hard once he was in the picture. Took a while to get him in the picture because he has just arrived on the scene!
