    Kent, stop waving your finger at us…it’s disgusting. If Woodson (et. al.) had not brought these transfer players into the system, IU would probably be at the bottom of the heap in the Big Ten, and you would be “carping” about how lowly IU’s program was.

    I agree with Woodson’s move, but I think he realizes that these kids are still immature kids who sometimes make mistakes and need some wise leadership. There is no doubt in my mind that Woodson will provide that leadership.

    You don’t throw these kids out in a fit of rage. So, “cool” your rhetoric, it is disgusting.

      I’m thrilled that all but one of the five players who were suspended are staying. The one who served as leader needs to go.

      You don’t build longterm success at a Big 10 program with transfers.

    One more comment, Kent, your soaring comment about how special and privileged it is to play basketball at IU. Well, twenty-five years ago, it was special. However, because of the numerous blunders of the IU coaching staff and administration, the program has deteriorated into a mediocre also ran.

    You gush about how great the program is, but you spew hatred towards the very people that made it great. You are a hypocrite of the first order.

      I hate no one. I have a lack of respect for Kelvin Sampson. I even admit to a begrudging affection for Tom Crean. I don’t know Archie Miller, but I am not a fan.

      No one is 100% good or 100% bad. To understand the gray area in which we all exist is to acknowledge the dark and light that create it. To point at both the good and bad of Bob Knight is not hypocrisy. I have written many times about both the positive and negative of Knight’s 29 years at Indiana. Anyone who was a student at Indiana during the Knight era owes him a debt of gratitude for the lessons we reaped as a result. We learned from Knight’s positive AND negative attributes – both of which he shared liberally.
