[QUOTE="TRidge72, post: 1957315, member: 236005"] He is in Heaven already. November 2 was All Souls Day, and doubtlessly, over a million Hoosiers prayed for him. Those under 50 do not appreciate what an achievement it was for the Wooden / Kareem / UCLA dynasty to be stopped, with the in season defeat of the UCLA 75 team, and the NCAA Indiana title in 76. It was like the Yanks not making it back to the World Series in 65 aIllinois could not even attract the black basketball players who had played at the very new Assembly Hall,including Tommie Smith, Kewaunee 71 (Kansas) and Buckner 72. Even then, state championship players from East Chicago IN went to UCLA. Criticism is cheap. Those who chose to play for Knight overwhelmingly feel blessed. [/QUOTE]
