It's so obvious Coach K and Brad got together and planned their coaching exits at the same time so they could both join Mike Woodson's staff at IU next season. I am not sure why this isn't obvious to everyone, I am sure Peegs is all over it.

I am not sure why this isn't obvious to everyone, I am sure Peegs is all over it. This might be the stupidest take I've seen on this site. And that's saying something for a site with 00's posts. It's clear that they're positioning for a hostile takeover. Coach K will become President of IU and Brad Stevens will become the IU AD. They will then fire Mike Woodson and reinstate coach Knight, who will then proceed to choke out a player, kick a ref, lose to Purdue twice, get eliminated in the first round of both the Big Ten and NCAA tournaments, physically and verbally assault a reporter, and then be given a raise. |

You guys are clueless. Brad Stevens is gonna run for governor of Indiana and coach K is going to be his Lt. Gov. THEN, Knight, even in his severely diminished state will be reinstated as IU coach. Larry Bird will be an assistant. Steve Alford will be a manager. IU will win the national championship and Stevens will get nominated for President because of it. It's a lost in the weeds IU fan's wet dream...... |

Maybe no coach has ever benefitted more from sleazy under-the-table money going to recruits than K. Maybe John Wooden?
It was genius really. K kept his clean image by letting Nike do all the bag work....knowing the symbiotic relationship between the two political and financial allies, Nike and the NCAA.
K was not a stupid person, there is NO WAY IN HELL he didn't have a pretty good idea what made recruiting all those Nike players so easy for him.

John Wooden was a cheater sorry to say. Looking at ''K'' he probably was too. After he is gone the presses will roll and the books will be written and the truth will come out. I hope it is not true.

I don't think he is entirely pure of heart, probably about the same as the other big school coaches when all is said and done. Might not need to cheat as much as some, with the success he has had. |

He didn't have to cheat himself, or even be told about it. Nike bagmen handled it.
In K's defense, it would have taken quite a stand up guy to blow the whistle on cheating that 1) he was getting great benefit from himself and 2) the relevant authorities had no interest in stopping. I suppose that not many people would have done that.
But the he DID greatly benefit from it and had to have a pretty good idea what was happening.

Sam Gilbert paid UCLA's players for over a decade. Bill Walton wrote about Gilbert and Wooden knowledge of it in a book he wrote. It was one of the worst kept secrets in the NCAA. The NCAA investigators had amassed enough wrongdoing that they could have had Wooden and UCLA vacate NINE National Champions but after Wooden retired in '76 the only penalty the Uclans were assessed was to vacate an appearance in the 1980 National Championship game. The NCAA executive did not want to tarnish most of Wooden's legendary career.

When it comes to cheating that is a HC responsibility. Even if Wooden had plausible deniability, it sure always looked like lack of institutional control. His AD and administration as well as Wooden just looked the other way. At the least.

The NCAA itself is completely failing in "institutional control". They have absolutely no interest in stopping what Nike is doing and go to heroic lengths to avoid noticing it. For one thing, they are joined at the hip with Nike in a highly lucrative money-making, promotional, merchandise selling system. Second, I think it takes a certain amount of pressure out of the pay-the-players matter when the most prominent players and their families are already getting some decent money before and during their college careers.
