Big John Thompson. Coaches across the country are paying tribute to him with those towels throughout the season

No disrespect but John Thompson was a racist.

John Thompson died in August of last year. He was a racist but since he was black he has to be honored nationwide.

I tried using the Dick Vitale towel but the glass eye kept falling out.

A nagging criticism of Thompson is that he won't recruit white players. His recent teams have had two or three white players. Last year's national championship team had none. As of the first day of practice this year, there were no white players on the 1984-85 team.
"We've recruited a lot of white kids over the years," says Stein, Thompson's chief recruiter for 10 years, and now the athletic director at St. Peter's College. "A lot of them have told us they don't want to play for a black coach, simple as that.
Thats from the Washington Post in 1984 where you can also read about people throwing bananas and shite at him and his team. LINK

So pretty much John Thompson had a very good reason.

But some dumbasses on here blame Thompson for that. You couldnt force a white player to sign if he didnt want to play for a black coach.
