Around the Hall: Big Ten Media day and Bob Knight

by Alex Bozich in Media | October 29th, 2009

Around the Hall is recommended reading (and in this case, listening) from the Inside the Hall crew.

+ The Big Ten Network has video interviews with most of the coaches in the conference (Tom Crean not included). {Big Ten Network}

+ The media selected Michigan State as the preseason favorite to win the Big Ten and also announced its all-league team, headlined by Kalin Lucas. {Big Ten Conference}

+ Fred Glass confirmed that he talked to Bob Knight and the former coach will not attend his Hall of Fame induction. His reason? He didn’t want to detract from the other inductees. {IU Athletics}

+ Michigan State coach Tom Izzo says the Big Ten is the best its been in a decade. And Bruce Weber chimes in on Indiana. {The Hoosier Scoop}

I'm glad Bob Hammel will be representing Coach Knight. Hammel is all class. And I'm glad that Knight offered up a reason for not attending, as unbelievable as it is. At least he threw the fans a bone.

As for the Big Ten, I don't know. Every time I think this conference is geared up for an elite season, we get knocked down a peg or two in pre-conference tournaments. One of these years we're going to beat the ACC, right? Right?
