Knight's story to be released today

By Cory Schouten · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

The fact that Bob Knight's new book will be released today, the week of the Final Four, is not surprising. After all, Knight is college basketball's most infamous coach, and the Final Four is its most exciting moment. What is surprising is that the team Knight once coached is back in the Final Four, on the shoulders of new coach Mike Davis. Whether the resurgence of IU basketball will rekindle interest in the program's past -- and Knight's book -- is yet to be seen.

By Katie Schoenbaechler and Katie Shoenbaechler · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

After one of the most successful years that the IU women's basketball team has had in recent history, senior Heather Cassady was supposed to hang up her sneakers at the end of her career as a Hoosier. But fans haven't heard the last of Cassady, who hopped on a plane for New York City late last week to participate in the New York Liberty's training camp. "We are just obviously proud as parents and family," Cassady's father, Pat, said. "Heather is just thrilled, but nervous, ready and looking forward to it." The 5'7" point guard who helped lead the team to a Big Ten Championship Tournament win and the first round of the NCAA tournament is now setting her sights on the future, which could hold a career in the WNBA.

By Tyler Hoeppner · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

This is the first time junior Greg Schaefer has wrestled a full season, and he is making the most of his opportunity. After going 17-11 (6-1 Big Ten) last year, Schaefer is off to a fast start. He has put together a 15-2 record as the Big Ten season approaches next weekend. But the Big Ten conference is considered the toughest in the nation, with a majority of the teams ranked in the top 25. Because Schaefer has more experience under his belt, he realizes what lies ahead.

Team discovers winning formula

By Nick Bowton · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

The formula for success at IU last season wasn't an effective one: Score at least 40 points or lose. And that formula seemed to be the case again early this season. The football team won only one of its first six games, and the lone victory was a 63-32 offensive onslaught against Wisconsin.

Defense puts squeeze on Illini

By Dan Cortez · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

By halftime Saturday, the Hoosiers had managed to grab a 46-35 lead over No. 9 Illinois. Three-point shooting had staked IU to that 11-point lead, but the Hoosiers knew defense would be the key to maintaining that margin. "We came in the locker room at halftime and told each other defense is what's going to win it for us," Jarrad Odle said. "If you come out and play defense, you don't have to rely on your offense. Once we kept doing that, we knew we were getting control of the game."

Cam loses one last time

By Nick Bowton · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Four wins in its last five games proved the football team started heading in the right direction this season, but it didn't convince Athletics Director Michael McNeely to keep Cam Cameron as head coach. McNeely fired Cameron Wednesday afternoon. Cameron finished his five-year tenure at IU with a 18-37 (12-28 Big Ten) record and no bowl appearances. The lack of improvement over the past five years led to McNeely's decision. "Five years is an important measuring standard for a program to demonstrate a high level of competitiveness and consistency, both on the field and in the classroom," McNeely said. "It is not an either-or proposition.
