My Take
Steve Alford fascinates me as a rare figure who succeeded on both sides of the basketball ledger. As a player he was a two-time consensus All-American and the heartbeat of Indiana's 1987 national title; as a coach he has carried that competitive obsession into the college game for decades. I'm drawn to people who refuse to coast on past glory, and Alford's transition from celebrated Hoosier to long-tenured head coach speaks to a genuine lifelong devotion to the sport. His is the kind of single-minded basketball life I respect more than any highlight reel.
