btw - here are more of Dan Dakich's words
"When did Indiana basketball start making excuses for guys out drinking
before the first time they face a public scrimmage?"
"Boys will be boys my ass. Indiana, you're supposed to win and you're
supposed to do it better."
"I don't want to hear 'Everybody drinks.' Everybody doesn't get to play
basketball in front of a fan base that loves you. … You're an Indiana basketball player."
"The guy that received his (candy stripes) went out the night before he's
going to play a scrimmage, drank and hit a teammate, whoever's fault it was."
"Why is he out drinking? Why are you out on the streets the night before
you're supposed to play?"
"Indiana is all talk. Indiana is all promotion. The candy stripe pants, the
whole deal is about promotion. It's not about being what Indiana basketball is about."
"Emmitt Holt got into school at the last minute and this is how he repays Tom Crean?"
"If I would have gotten caught drinking as a freshman. Randy Wittman
would have kicked the hell out of me. And so would have Ted Kitchel. ...
They might not have beaten me, but they would have made me feel so
embarrassed I wouldn't have done it."
"I would have the best contract law firm checking to see if this violated
Tom's contract."
"I don't hate Indiana. I'm not some 20-year-old punk who accepts
everything. I love Indiana basketball enough to say the things I'm saying."
"Indiana basketball is supposed to win and stand for something. Not the crap
you got from North Carolina and "The Carolina way" and that garbage. That
turned out to be such a fraud I can't even tell you.
"Not the garbage from Joe Paterno and 'The Grand Experience.' That's all
crap. Hey, Butler right now has a Butler way and they have a coach that
doesn't even want to coach the team.
"Indiana's never had a 'way." You know what Indiana's done? Indiana's just
done it the right way."
"I appreciate the former players who just texted me who are listening to this show."
"Indiana has made so many concessions to recruits it's ridiculous."
"This is a fan base that expects kids to do certain things because that's the way it is."
"This new school Indiana is absolute crap, and it has been since coach Knight got out of there."
"I'm speaking for a lot of former players when I say we're embarrassed by what's happening at Indiana."
BTW - Tom Crean is only one year removed from BACK-TO-BACK Sweet Sixteen appearances!!
IU fans must be having deja vu - they went thru the most horrid complete collapse & meltdown then rebuild in 2008-2011
..now they're probably looking at it all over again....
