The Daily Hoosier Posted June 15, 2019 Report Posted June 15, 2019 Cool story about how he picked IU, and a great interview with him. https://www.thedailyhoosier.com/how-landon-turners-dad-and-dingy-purdue-helped-give-iu-the-1981-title/
milehiiu Posted June 15, 2019 Report Posted June 15, 2019 Thanks TDH. When other sports writers pack it in for weekends. You just keep churning out great material.
milehiiu Posted June 16, 2019 Report Posted June 16, 2019 I haven't had time to listen to the audio. In terms of listing all that Knight did for Landon , the thing that sticks in my mind, most. Is Knight talking his friend Red Auerback of the Bostion Celtics in drafting Landon, after the accident.
Zlinedavid Posted June 16, 2019 Report Posted June 16, 2019 What if.... What if Turner isn't injured? We finished 2nd in the B10 and lost in the 2nd round in '82. Turner was just coming into his own late the prior season. Not sure if we dethrone UNC again, but I'd say we probably win the B10 and make a little more noise in March.
hoosiertildeath Posted June 17, 2019 Report Posted June 17, 2019 Thanks Mile and Landon Turner ! RMK was such a perfectionist and he detested losing so much ! I think was what drove his temper fits ! And I think Coach Knight took a bad rap on the " chocking " incident !! Hell , I would never try to choke someone win just one hand , vbg .

I would say we would have been a FF team.
