Dan Dakich has seen five Indiana coaches come and go, including himself.
“One thing people need to remember,” he said. “Coaching Indiana never ends well.”
In fact, he makes Indiana sound a lot like UCLA, without the Land Rovers.
Dakich played at Indiana, famously defending Michael Jordan in a 1984 NCAA Tournament upset, and then coached at Bowling Green.
He was Indiana’s interim coach when Kelvin Sampson was fired, and he got the Hoosiers into the NCAA Tournament but wasn’t retained.
He does Indianapolis sports-talk and analyzes Big Ten games for ESPN.
