(Click on photos to enlarge)

TW: Ran across site (Indy paper) that has IU basketball archive. The first photo is Bobby Knight's first team from 1971-1972. The bottom is the '08-09 team, Tom Crean's first. What struck me was the vast differences. Hair shorter, shorts longer, more bulk and a heckuva lot more folks needed to run a team these days than back then. Both squads were depleted in both cases because the new coaches ran off some of the inherited players (Knight still had Joby Wright, Steve Downing and John Ritter though, Crean was left with an essentially bare cupboard).
