RIP Royce Waltman. The best man I've ever had the pleasure to cover.

Sad news.

Recently, I quoted one of his remarks from when he was fired from Indiana State years ago:

"If you get fired for cheating, you can get hired right back again. If you get fired for losing it's like you've got leprosy, so young coaches need to bear that in mind. Cheating and not graduating players will not get you in trouble, but that damn losing. ..."

How true!

Just came in here to post an article about that quote written by Pete Thamel.
