milehiiu Posted June 19, 2020 Report Share Posted June 19, 2020 Enjoy. Comment if you wish. Indiana Basketball Shorts: Pictures Through the Years I have edited the thread title as questions about the mid to late 60's team have come up. I went to every home game during that time. And would love to answer more questions, if I can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BGleas Posted June 20, 2020 Report Share Posted June 20, 2020 Been saying this for years, I would love to see an alternate jersey with the “Indiana” cursive script across the chest and maybe another one with the same script with “Hoosiers”. Seems when Archie arrived they began using that as the signature sign off to their social media video, so I was hoping we’d see it more incorporated in other places.

milehiiu Posted June 20, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2020 From the link. I instantly recognized, number 34 in the front row. Harry "Butch" Joyner. Who was sat next to me in a class at IU. Nice guy. Not at all pretentious. Butch, played two games as an Indiana Pacer. And to the best of my knowledge is still selling real estate in Scottsdale, Arizona. As far as changing our uni's. Never been a fan of that. However....over time, I have come to think that an alternative uni for special games, away from home would be ok, by me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mile, this might be a completely stupid question and I'm in no way trying to bring politics into play, but who is #23? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why. That's Vernon Payne. Out of Michigan City, Indiana. Watched him play in high school. And loved his game at IU. Has bounced around. Has been a head bb coach. And is now at Western State University : Vernon Payne | Student Affairs | Western Michigan University Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoopster and Crester have made everything seem off limits lately. Payne seems like a terrific guy. I am so proud to be a Hoosier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milehiiu Posted June 20, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2020 Just now, Sark said: Butch is still in real estate, but he’s been a couple hours northeast of the Phoenix area for some time. Thanks for the update. I guess I could have gone to IU's Alumni Data base, since I am a life time member. However, it does not always give updated information. So I went off of memory. Appreciate the update. And what with the IU guys passing in recent years.... it's good to know that Butch is still alive and kicking. Thanks again.

Nice mention of Bill DeHeer. Who at that time at 6-9 was considered a Big. And spent two stints with the Pacers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to think what he did at Michigan City Elston, as well as at IU had a lot to do with it. Never heard an unkind word about Vernon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the beginning of my falling for Hoosier basketball and shortly thereafter Hoosier football. Mr. Payne is a well respected member of Western Michigan staff. I have never heard anyone ever say anything negative about him. Unfortunately two of his children have not followed in his footsteps. One son was convicted of first degree murder and was sentenced to life in prison and another son has had several violent assaults on women and was incarcerated for a few years. In one instance he assaulted the mother of his infant child and beat her unconscious. He was a trained boxer and he hit her so many times he fractured his hand and her skull. He was arrested in Michigan City, Indiana and extradited to Michigan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
