" I went to ISU during that time and to this day I still love that Eustachy era of our program. His teams played disciplined, hard nosed and fundamental basketball and were so fun to watch them with Fizer and Tinsley just dominate teams during that 99-00 season. Have gotten the chance to talk to a couple of his former players over the years and even had a little bit of behind the scenes knowledge of some of the stuff that went on during his practices when I was at ISU due to knowing people that had some of the players on their floor or 1 person who I can't remember exactly what he did but he attended practices from time to time. Some rather interesting stories both funny and some a little concerning about what went on back then, ..."
Certainly how his stint at ISU ended has tarnished Larry's reputation, along with what has happened at subsequent stops and he has to own that. I also, however, remember some of the positives, and he would always speak what was on his mind. One of my favorite quotes was when he was asked what he thought about Tyray Pearson having the #2 FG% in all of division 1 basketball he responded, "Too bad whomever he is guarding is #1!"
