Who’s Javon?

Yesterday Pat Knight followed the trend of using his postgame interviews to stick up for Sean Sutton. Knight’s main point was that fans should blame unexpectedly departed players and not Sutton for this season’s struggles.

Perhaps a valid point, but it hurts the argument when you’re lamenting the loss of Javon Curry. Yep, Javon. Knight called JamesOn Curry by the wrong name about five times during the interview.

Initially I didn’t know about this, because I was conducting postgame interviews with OSU players at the time. Transcripts of the interview had the name corrected. But this morning on the way to the Sprint Center a local television station guy was telling me how unfortunately unusable the clip was because of the misnomer.

But to be honest, whatever you want to call him, I agree at least a bit with Knight. OSU would have been a different team with Curry.
