Remember Dave Bliss (One of Bob Knight's assistant)? He had winning seasons and NCAA tourneys for years.

Lickliter's failure at Iowa only proves that you cannot coach or recruit in that state. Alford would have locked up the instate talent and we would have been in the dance by year 2. CTC will not be going to the dance for at least another year..maybe longer.....years of mediocrity is all I see at this point....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2719122004661496164.post-58823559937881740012010-04-29T11:53:55.115-07:002010-04-29T11:53:55.115-07:00it all sounds good 'i guess'. still just w...it all sounds good 'i guess'. still just wanting creek to battle like he was doing. the rest will come with more experience. addin v.o, and w.s. is a plus. but what is really burning me alive is, i didn't know alford wanted the indiana job, and he wasn't 'alford' a shot? tryin to make a joke. he is well known in indiana. and all the talent here in indiana, scary thought to what might have been!!!!

Liked him in the IU Jersey, didn't like him at Manchester, didn't like him at Iowa, especially after the Luke Recker incident, and still don't like him in New Mexico where basketball use to be a club sport.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2719122004661496164.post-9457163117597611102010-04-29T04:18:30.540-07:002010-04-29T04:18:30.540-07:00I wanted Alford as well.
