Equal parts toughness and love. A true leader of men. Two years ago today the world lost a great one. Through the little things he instilled the big things. And his word meant everything. He will forever be our family’s measuring stick of character. You are missed Coach Mallory.

My favorite Bucket pic of 2 of my all-time favorite Hoosiers. I can hear Coach Mallory’s booming voice talking about the significance of this game no matter what had transpired leading up to it. Pride in yourself, belief in your team, locked jaws & a lot of heart.

Love this clip. Thanks for sharing
@TheMopLady
. So it sounds like Dr. Bomba is partly to blame for the infamous chair toss 36 years ago today. If only those All-American hands had grabbed the chair first.
RMK on Letterman shortly after the Hoosiers won the 1987 NCAA title on why he threw the chair two years earlier.
36 years removed from the toss—we’re still talking about it. ⚪️🔴

A true example of what happens when pride & philanthropy intersect. The support by former players for this project is significant & meaningful. The names that will hang on walls & in lockers are of those who came before. Their investment made this possible.
