At the beginning of our first Home game they should throw out a chair. In remembrance of Knight. And for Crews since he was the reason for the Chair toss

We will miss you General. They don’t make them like you anymore……..and that’s too bad. A look back to better times when men were men.

Forget Pence, Quayle, Mellencamp, etc..there has been no one that has been more synonymous with the state of Indiana nationally than Bobby Knight. He was the king of our sports world for over 30 years. Growing up, I was a big fan of his teams..except the few times they played UE. The Pre-Season NIT Semi still stings a bit. We wil never see another like him. Here is a clip from the Bob Knight Show for all "You People in Evansville" to remember him by. youtu.be/CndHCb6Uosg |

Knight was right in all respects about Crews and his teams. |

I can say that he was at least not sleazy.
He left IU with a reputation he probably either deserved or didn't mind. It was probably easier to be Bob Knight then. He'd not survive that now, given the 23,932 "news outlets" that crawl out from the sludge every day to pawn off their own version of social justice. Knight's players at least graduated.

At the beginning of our first Home game they should throw out a chair. In remembrance of Knight. And for Crews since he was the reason for the Chair toss No, Crews had nothing to do with the reason. Early in the game against Purdue, IU got whistled for 3 fouls within a minute. First one was on Steve Alford. The second was on Marty Simmons with the third and triggering one being on Daryl Thomas. Knight normally wore a sportcoat during that time, but it was an unseasonably warm day in Bloomington so he didn't wear it. Hence he had to throw a chair instead. Crews' contribution was he ended up coaching the game when Knight was ejected. |
