After Larry Bird stepped down, long time executive Kevin Pritchard took his place as president of basketball operations. To discuss his thoughts on the team’s future, Pritchard made an appearance on the Dan Dakich show.
The two talked about a lot of things (you can find the whole conversation here), but an especially intriguing moment came when Pritchard mentioned how much he admired the grit and the toughness that Tyler Hansbrough brought when he was on the team. No, that wasn’t a typo. Pritchard used Tyler “Psycho-T” Hansbrough as an example of a player with grit.
