Hope is not optimism, which expects things to turn out well, but something rooted in the conviction that there is good worth working for. - Seamus Heaney, Irish poet and likely Hoosier basketball fan.

Very cool, thanks.
Not sure if I can handle hearing about the joys of covering the past 25 years in Hoosier basketball or 35 in football. But least one of the droughts ends in a big way.
Jacob goings of Locked in Hoosiers interviewed Mike Alexis who put together the doc, you can find it on YouTube. It covers the 54 yr career of Don Fisher with comments from Bob Costas
I tried to record it, but it didn't happen. Did anyone watch and can you give a clif notes version?

I heard it was disappointing being only 30 minutes long.
Thank you for reading Hoosier Huddle
I heard it was disappointing being only 30 minutes long.
Yeah, I thought it would be an hour and have a lot more archival footage. Would have loved to see and hear some of the footage with Don doing post game interviews and some reminiscing.
It was cool to see Don with his twin brother. Still enjoyable, but not what I was hoping to see.

One thing I learned from it that surprised me was that things were apparently frosty between RMK and Don at the very beginning. Don’t think I ever knew that before.
