Ex-Indiana QB Zander Diamont Says Coach Praised Adolf Hitler

Former Indiana University quarterback Zander Diamont tweeted Monday that one of his coaches at Indiana once called Adolf Hitler a "great leader."

In the tweet, Diamont added that the alleged comment was especially offensive since he is Jewish:

Zander Diamont

I’ll never forget when one of my coaches at Indiana referenced “Hitler” as a great leader. Only a man keen on leading through fear could make such an ignorant claim. Especially ignorant when your quarterback is Jewish.

According to Brad Crawford of 247Sports, Diamont left the program after his junior season in 2016 due to injury issues.
