About Kansas basketball:
Since the hot topic of KU basketball fails to cool down, I'll be glad to add some fuel to the fire. At the beginning of the new season, I had one goal in mind for the men's basketball team: a national championship. I didn't care about our record, our ranking, or any other accomplishment. All I wanted was a national championship, and I really don't understand why any other Jayhawk fan would not be angry and upset about not achieving this goal.
NEW YORK — In barely a month, John Daly has lost his sobriety, his wife and his million-dollar endorsement contract, the final blow coming on Monday, the golfer's 31st birthday.
Why should we want a national championship? Because whenever a KU fan wants to argue which school has the best basketball tradition with a Kentucky Wildcat, UCLA Bruin, North Carolina Tar Heel, or Duke Blue Devil, we are lacking in the most significant category. You got it, national championships.
This was the year. We had the most experienced team in the nation. We had three starters with NBA potential. We had one of the deepest benches. We had the best preseason frontcourt in the Big 12, and we had the best pre-season backcourt in the Big 12. Now other fans are saying that I don't have the right to be angry, disappointed, upset or critical about this team. I'll tell you why I'm critical. Here's
The Associated Press
Wilson broke the contract a month after the long-hitting winner of the 1995 British Open re-entered alcohol rehab following his withdrawal from the Player Championship after a drinking binge landed Daly in a hospital.
Daly loses endorsement after relapse
At the beginning of the season, I thought our experience was a benefit. Now I wonder if it was a hindrance. By the time our seniors reached their final year of college, they were higher than anyone in Hashinger Hall. It was sad, too. It was sad watching pre-season All American point guard Jacque Vaughn palm the ball in a crucial part of the game at one end of the court while he got schooled by a freshman on the other. It was sad to see Scot Pollard get outbounded by two guards, make some stupid fouls and end the game with zero points. It was sad to see B.J. Williams give little help while Scot was on the bench. It was sad to see Jerod Haase falter from the three-point line the entire tournament. As for Roy, it was sad to see him panic into a defensive zone that we seldom played all year when we should have had the best man-to-man defensive team in the country.
Two days after the incident, Daly entered the Betty Ford Center for treatment for alcohol abuse. Palette Daly filed for divorce two weeks later.
ever improve. This campus makes the KU players and coaches out to be some kind of gods. That's what they played like in the tournament, too, like nobody could ever beat them. They never seemed motivated or pumped up. Especially the seniors. It made me want to puke watching how long it took for them to get their back down to earth and play some basketball.
KU's tournament success under Roy Williams; One No. 4, seed One. 3, seed Three No. 2, seeds Three. 1, seeds. What's that all add up to? Zero, zilch and nada national championships. Let's face it, the man's a choke artist in the big dance, and he proves my point every single year.
Jayhawk fans, don't be afraid to commit the deadly sin of criticizing your beloved basketball team. Sometimes people are critical of the things they love the most. Also, let this season be a lesson of "don't count your chickens before they hatch." Let's wait to give the credit AFTER our Jayhawks bring home the bacon.
That's right, the man who this campus thinks is a genius makes me look like a genius year in and year out. Even this year, when the odds were stacked against me, he still managed to make his team pull a quick disappearing act. If you're content with a great record and some Big 12 championships, Roy's the man for you. On the other hand, if you're like me and only care about the most prestigious championship in all of sports, you should agree that Roy needs the boot. I look for the day when Dean Smith retires and Roy heads back to North Carolina. Then we can start catching up with North Carolina in that championship category.
I'm not blaming it all on Roy, though. I'd like to vent some frustration on the fans and our own University paper. NO MATTER WHAT KU does, the vast majority of fans are content. Even when we squeaked by low-caliber teams, the Kansan always managed to take up half the paper with pictures, positive articles and our record in huge type. Not to mention the numerous articles on the subject of whether class would be canceled if we won the national championship. Don't you people realize what this does to a player? Those guys walked around campus with heads bigger than Fraser Hall. If nobody is ever critical, nothing can
"Through all of his trials and tribulations, Wilson has always stood behind John," said Jeff Harmet, director of marketing for Wilson Golf. "This was by no means an easy decision." Daly entered alcohol rehabilitation in 1993 and claimed that he never would have won the 1995 British Open if he had still been drinking.
