I love Indiana University Basketball... i love Mike Davis... but these 2 things are killing each other... Mike Davis will NEVER be fully accepted by hoosier nation... no matter what... i think that makes his life and his job miserable... And that is a travesty... i think that if hoosier nation would have backed this man from the get go, things would be a million times different... but hoosier nation didn't... for whatever reason... is it because of Bob Knight? is it because of his race? is it because he's not the "golden boy" named Steve Alford? what ever the reason, it's a shame that hoosier nation didn't back up this good coach to give him the 2 things he lacks the most confidence and support... Sure he makes a few stupid coaching mistakes here and there but that is to be expected from a guy who has no previous experience in being a head coach in the NCAA... it's to be expected from a guy with the weight of the world on his shoulders...
if i were mike davis... i would be sick of the fair weather fans... i would be sick of the hypocritical hoosier nation... i would be sick of the kids and adults that boo his name at Assembly Hall... i would be sick of www.firemikedavis.com... i would want out... i would want to be fired, get my pay for the next season... i would take the money and run all the way to the bank... and get a job where he can do what he wants, how he wants and not have the pressure of following a hall of fame coach... i would drive out of bloomington sticking my hand out the window waving the bird...
don't you think that the crappy "fans" who don't support the coach may have some effect on the players? don't you think that that would give this some misgivings about following that coach?
I love coach davis. I don't want him to go. But I wouldn't blame him if he wanted to.
here's to mike! take the money and run!
