One thought on “Mark Montieth: What’s fate got to do with it? Maybe everything for these Indiana sports legends

  1. Purdue offered the head coaching position to John Wooden while he was at Indiana State, but Wooden turned down the opportunity to coach his alma mater because he had a year remaining on his contract with ISU. He did not want to break his promise/contract to ISU, even though the temptation to go to Purdue was great. Imagine how things might have been different for Purdue had Coach Wooden taken the job.
