So true. Davis was gifted a dream opportunity he wasn't remotely prepared for at the time. But you have to take that job. It seemed he had a major chip on his shoulder at the time, because he knew he didn't earn the job. He admits he did and said things he regrets now. Love his appreciation of the job, the school, the fans, and our history. I hope over time Crean learns to feel the same way. Both guided the program at very difficult times, and seemed to genuinely care. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get the impression he harbors any ill will. For as spastic as he can be, he's still a professional and seems to recognize that his firing wasn't personal. Davis has matured quite a bit since his time at IU. He recognizes many of his mistakes and will admit to them. That said, I don't know if he claims responsibility for some of the reasons people didn't think he'd be at IU for the long term. However, he did play a part in that publicly talking about making the jump to coaching in the NBA. It was comments like that which made it seem like he always had one foot out the door and was looking for the next opportunity. Nothing wrong with that, but maybe he shouldn't have stated it publicly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was referencing some comments he made to coaches down here soon after taking the Georgia job. Think that's pretty normal to feel that way soon after a break-up. He was/is a good ambassador, and hope he appreciates his role in our history as the guy that brought us back from the ashes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These stories about Coack Knight are why all us old guys put him on a pedestal that some of these young guys just don't get. JJ summed it up so well. I don't know if there is another person in the world that you would want in your corner than RMK. I seem to agree with so much of what these guys were saying. They get as does Woody , what it means to be a men's basketball player and coach at Indiana. I am willing to bet that Woodys player whether from Indiana or not will know what it means to be a Hoosier. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
