​

The Reaction in a 1987 Sports Illustrated Magazine

"You should have to work hard to get a basket."

• Duke's Mike Krzyzewski

​

"Before the season I didn't like the rule, but I've changed my mind. Now I hate it."

• UTChattanooga’s Mack McCarthy

"We were beaten by the rules committee and a man with a paintbrush,"

• Baylor’s Gene Iba

"To me, it's just like a game show. In this world we live in now, we're into wild thrills."

• Dayton's Don Donoher

By 1993, Sports Illustrated said…

The Wildcats have become the loose, with-it program of the 1990s, while Crum's team has begun to look dated, irrelevant.

- Billy Reed

With outside shooting newly emphasized, and his refusal to fully incorporate the 3 point shot, Crum never returned to the Final Four.

I’ll be using a new writing resource this year. It meets the HQIR criteria so it is probably really good.

I was given no input into the selection of this resource. I wish that there had been more reasons shared for the decision.

Keeps smiling politely. Listens respectfully. Reads the material. Eventually concludes that it was a good choice.

I feel uninvested

I feel unimportant

I feel devalued
