Column: A system that disappoints

Ron Patterson

Perhaps Ron Patterson did not do all that was needed to stay at Indiana this fall, but the manner in which his exit was affected leaves a bitter taste toward the system.

    • Given the recent "pub" about Lyles and now Patterson, I doubt if anyone in the b-ball program had a good nights sleep. Those two departures give competing recruiters a lot of ammo given the misleading statements made during recruiting anyway. Re: Patterson I really feel for the kid..but best for all concerned..including Ron..that his academic deficiences be determined now..and get corrected. Flunking out going into his Jr. year..etc would have been a real disaster. Hope he tries prep school and gives IU another crack at recruiting him
