Congratulations Gene Keady Proud to be a Boilermakers Fan.

[@brucejones1867]

Coach Keady was one of a kind. His teams were always prepared. Sometimes they were not as talented as their opponents, but were seldom out-worked. Congrats to a great coach and a great man. Btw, I am a lifelong IU fan.

No Final Fours in 25 years is a pretty amazing accomplishment.While at Purdue,Bobby Knight took Indiana to 3 final fours including national championchips in 1981 & 87.From 1981 thru 2002 IU was in 4 Final Fours while the guys on Northwestern Ave were in none.Since 1980

And I guarantee you that Coach Keady sleeps well at night despite his lack of national championships and final fours. He was a football player and coach turned basketball coach who just seemed thrilled to be where he was.
