WWJD-What Would Johnny Do?

[PAinWI]

I started watching ISU BB in the mid '80s. The only thing I know about johnny is what I saw on the court and on TV (those bartle's and jame's ads).
But it seemed to me that he was as genuine and honest a person as one could be (or at least as much as a division I basketball coach could). If you were his friend, he was yours, even if he didn't know you. That's what I saw.

In this regard, I think he would tell Fred to follow his heart, not his head?
Who knows where that would take him though, but it may allow him to make the correct decision no matter what "we" want it to be.

Well, Johnny did ditch Michigan for $

Johnny also left the cupboard full for Tim Floyd when he retired. Something that Fred shown appreciation for many times.

Orr left Michigan after making it to the NCAA Championship game!

That was probably Fred's plan all along until we ran into the immovable object that is UAB.

I think Johnny would have something stronger to say about message boards than Fred's already-strong statements.

Guess I can't respond since I'm a hater.

Johnny would have done what he could to stop this thread from ever existing.

 

[Cycsk]

I think Johnny would say something like,

"How do these damn reporters know so much about what I'm going to do? They must be really smart. I'm there in the gym everyday and, dammit, I don't even know what I'm going to do."

Somebody dredge up the Wolverine Fanatics.com thread the week Johhny left for ISU so we can see it!

Johnny did not retire, he was forced to "retire" or get released.

Johnny would take the $

Johnny's quote would have been a string of profanities with sprinkling of "Coach" this "Coach" that. :smile:

Historic documents show that the outcry crashed ARPANET.

Johnny did NOT leave the cupboard full for Tim Floyd. Johnny actually left the cupboard full FOR Jim Hallihan. Johnny lobbied hard for his long time assistant coach of 12 years at Iowa State to succeed him. But Johnny's wishes were not followed and Tim Floyd was hired. Gary Thompson was behind that hire.

So YES.....the cupboard was full......but Johnny did not leave it full for Tim Floyd. Johnny left it full for Jim Hallihan. But it never came to be.

Johnny was NOT forced to retire. In fact, his retirement came as a surprise.

Stormin, so what do you think Johnny would do in Hoiberg's sitation?

Is that you Gene? I suppose you're also going to say that Hallahan was going to be Johnny's successor but he decided he'd rather run the Iowa Games.
