    And why should I or anyone care about Will Fucking Wade over a guy who causes psychological and sometimes physical pain to people? Bagmen have been a part of college hoops since Adolph Rupp. Anyone who follows this game even lightly knows these schools are all shady to a degree. 1980s Pitt basketball when calipari was an assistant under Paul Evans and his Richard Simmons cut had athletic dorms that looked like a new Chevrolet dealer. Jerome Lane and Charles Smith didn’t commit her response because they like primanti sandwiches and the view from Mt. Washington.

    Do you really think Knight’s Hoosiers and Bennett’s Cavaliers are shady to a degree?

    You forget Cal telling kids Lou C had cancer and was going to die soon.

    I can list one, JC. You never left an interview with Knight without a full notebook and a good story. It's only now that I have been out of the business for a long time that I assess sports figures who haven't committed crimes as good or bad. On the job, I classified them as interesting or dull. Knight was never dull, though always an ass.

    Knight did a lot of good things quietly. Raising money for the IU library was a big thing for him.

    Doesn’t make up for the way he treated people. Asshole doesn’t come close to strong enough.

    He never could adjust to the way kids changed.

    I’d never wish on anyone what he’s (apparently) starting to go through. Alzheimer’s/dementia is my worst fear.

    Paterno gave a million at least to Penn State. How much does it cost to wipe the guilt of child abuse?
