Reposted on: 7.2.15 2039.19 | John Feinstein said it was likely had he stayed he was taking another trip to the NIT. And he didn't wanna go to the NIT again.
Feinstein also said he would be good on TV, well, if he could handle a producer telling him what to do.

Reposted on: 8.2.15 1157.45 | I would cuss in honor of Coach Knight, but I don't like to do that on any forum.
I doubt there will ever be another coach who is as devisive as Knight. His list of pros and cons are about the same length.
I guess it's fitting that he didn't announce it ahead of time - I don't think he'd be comfortable receiving rocking chairs at away games and other such honors. | | ALL ORIGINAL POSTS IN THIS THREAD ARE NOW AVAILABLE |
