Podcast appearances and mentions of Bob Knight

Episode 25 of Season 3 of The RUN TMC Podcast is part one of a two-part special with Marin County basketball icon Steve Lavin. Coach Lavin traces his journey from Drake High School's 1982 undefeated state champions to a 38-year career as a college coach and national broadcaster. This episode focuses on Lavin's early years: growing up in a large, culturally rich family, playing on the historic Drake teams of the 1980s, and learning under coaching greats like Pete Hayward and later mentors such as Bob Knight and Gene Keady. The episode also covers Lavin's Pirate Camp roots, summer grind, formative practice habits, and what it took to break into Division I coaching — including personal stories about hardship, mentorship and living lean as a young assistant. Listeners will hear stories about Lavin's time at Purdue and Indiana, behind-the-scenes clips recorded at Drake/Archie Williams and The Brazen Head in San Francisco, and reflections on coaching philosophies, humor, and the role of parents and mentors. Expect compelling anecdotes about ejections, the flex offense, coaching influences, and the gratitude that shapes Lavin's perspective. Part 1 ends with a preview of Part 2, which digs deeper into Lavin's UCLA years, national-title experience, broadcasting career, and further coaching insights.

What if Indiana had finished the job in 1992?On this episode of The Crimson Era, Coach Tonsoni and Scott go back to one of the most painful “what ifs” in IU basketball history — Indiana's legendary 1992 Final Four battle with Duke. From the controversial foul trouble to Todd Leary catching absolute fire late, the guys break down the game that still has Hoosier fans talking more than 30 years later.Could this have been Bob Knight's last great championship team? Did the officiating change the game? And would Indiana have beaten Michigan for the national title?This one is a full-on trip through classic IU basketball history.

Galen Clavio reacts to Stewart Mandel's profile of Curt Cignetti and uses it as a jumping-off point for a bigger conversation about Indiana football's stunning rise, the confidence driving the program, and the challenge of sustaining success after a national championship season.This episode looks at Cignetti's process, the idea of “controlled arrogance,” the parallels to Bob Knight-era Indiana basketball, and why IU's next challenge may be even harder than the climb itself. Galen also reflects on how far CrimsonCast — and Indiana football fans — have come from the low point of 2023 to the top of the sport.

The March 29, 1976 issue of Sports Illustrated featured Kent Benson soaring toward the basket on its cover, captured during Indiana's hard-fought 65-56 victory over Marquette in the Mideast Regional Final. Benson dominated the paint that night with 18 points and 9 rebounds, helping send the undefeated Hoosiers to the Final Four. Exactly 50 years to the day after that iconic cover hit newsstands, Benson returns to the Past Our Prime podcast for a second time — and he's especially thrilled that Indiana has just completed a perfect 2025-26 football season and won the national championship. That 1976 regional final against Marquette proved to be the toughest test on Indiana's road to perfection. With Benson anchoring the defense and controlling the interior, the Hoosiers pulled away in the second half to advance. They would go on to defeat UCLA in the national semifinal and Michigan for a 3rd time that season, 86-68 in the championship game, where Benson posted 25 points and 9 rebounds to earn Final Four Most Outstanding Player honors. The Hoosiers finished the season a perfect 32-0, becoming the last team in Division I history to win the national championship without a single loss. For Kent Benson, appearing on the March 29, 1976 Sports Illustrated cover was the crowning moment of a breakout college career. After playing a key role as a sophomore the year before, he emerged as the centerpiece of Bob Knight's disciplined machine in 1976. Fifty years later, he returns to POP to reflect on that magical undefeated basketball run while also celebrating Indiana's remarkable football achievement — completing a perfect 2025-26 season and winning the national championship. It's a rare double dose of Hoosier perfection across two different eras, and Benson couldn't be prouder on the Past Our Prime podcast. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of Leave Your Mark, I sit down with Coach Johnny Parker, a true pioneer in the world of strength and conditioning whose career has shaped generations of athletes and coaches alike.From his beginnings as a high school football coach in rural Mississippi to becoming the first strength coach in the Big Ten, and eventually spending two decades in the NFL with organizations like the New York Giants, New England Patriots, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and San Francisco 49ers, Johnny's journey reflects the evolution of an entire profession.But what stands out most is not the titles or the championships.It is the standard.Johnny shares the defining moments that shaped his philosophy, including an early coaching failure that forced him to confront the responsibility that comes with leading others. From that point forward, he committed himself to mastery, not just of training, but of people.We explore his model of leadership, built on progression from fear, to respect, to belief, and ultimately to self-driven excellence. He reflects on lessons learned from iconic figures like Bill Parcells and Bob Knight, and offers a grounded perspective on what truly separates good coaches from great ones.This conversation is a powerful reminder that coaching is not about control; it is about connection, accountability, and helping people become more than they believed possible.If you work with people in any capacity, this one will stay with you.On a personal note, this was one of the great honors of my life in human performance. Johnny influenced me when I was a young S&C coach, and he didn't even know it.  I never knew the man; I just knew the legend, and to finally speak with him was a great privilege. Johnny is in the battle of his life, and if this session or his personal impact on you has meant anything, letting him know would surely mean a lot to this incredible man.  ScottyIf you liked this EP, please take the time to rate and comment, share with a friend, and connect with us on social channels IG @Kingopain, TW @BuiltbyScott, LI+FB Scott Livingston. You can find all things LYM at www.LYMLab.com, download your free Life Lab Starter Kit today and get busy living https://lymlab.com/free-lym-lab-starter/Please take the time to visit and connect with our sponsors, they are an essential part of our success:www.ReconditioningHQ.comwww.FreePainGuide.com

Between 1974 and 1979, from his brief time at Indiana University through his magical season at Indiana State, Bird nearly walked away from basketball entirely. In this episode, Brian O'Leary sits down with journalist and New York Times best-selling author Keith O'Brien to discuss his meticulously researched new book HEARTLAND, which fills in this forgotten narrative with unprecedented detail. Through interviews with teammates, coaches, photographers, and dozens of people who were there, O'Brien paints a vivid portrait of a shy kid from rural Indiana who changed sports history—even though he never wanted the spotlight. We discuss Bird's poverty-stricken upbringing in French Lick, his time as a garbage collector, his legendary media boycott, the iconic Sports Illustrated photo shoot, and even a softball tournament in which he beat Joe Montana.

Indiana fell to Purdue 93-64 in West Lafayette, dropping to 17-10 overall and 8-8 in Big Ten play after a game the Boilermakers controlled from the opening minutes. What began as a tough road test quickly turned into a lopsided rivalry loss, as Indiana struggled to generate offense, defend consistently, or match Purdue's physicality for nearly the entire 40 minutes.Jerod, Andy, and Galen break down a disappointing performance and what it reveals about Indiana's ceiling heading into the final stretch of the season:Tayton Conerway's aggressive driving and playmaking performance that stood out as one of the few bright spots in an otherwise flat offensive nightWhy Indiana's defensive effort — including zero steals and just one offensive rebound — raised deeper concerns about toughness and intensity against elite competitionHow Purdue's defensive game plan neutralized Indiana's perimeter threats and forced the Hoosiers into stagnant, uncomfortable offensive possessionsThe troubling trend of Indiana's defensive decline since January and what the underlying numbers reveal about effort versus schematic issuesNick Dorn's recent struggles on both ends and the difficult roster dilemma created when a streaky shooter stops producing offensivelyTucker DeVries' surprisingly low shot volume and whether Indiana can succeed when one of its primary scorers becomes more facilitator than aggressorWhat consecutive blowout road losses mean for Indiana's NCAA tournament outlook and the urgency facing the team in upcoming must-win gamesPlus, as always: the big moments you might have missed, stats that stood out, and our game ball and hustle award.ALERT: And some NSFW musical fun at the very end.

BONUS FLASHBACK EPISODELast year a largely unknown QB from Cal-Berkeley showed up in Bloomington to lead Indiana's offense in Year 2 of the Cignetti Era. One year later, that same QB is a household name across America... Fernando Mendoza.Shortly after arriving at IU, Fernando was kind enough to join the Hysterics for an in-depth conversation, touching on everything from his family and childhood, to his love of Star Wars, to why he chose to join his brother Alberto in playing for Coach Cig.It was impossible to predict at the time of this interview that Fernando would go on to win the Heisman Trophy as he and his teammates went undefeated, winning both the Big Ten and National Championships, and forever securing their place not just in the hearts of Hoosier nation, but amongst the greatest stories in the history of sports. After this conversation, however, it was very easy to understand that Fernando is an absolutely special human being... warm, funny, intelligent and inspiring... and someone we'd all be very proud to have represent Indiana University.If you prefer to watch this flashback episode, please visit @hoosierhysterics on Youtube.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
