I was doing some searching around for Johnny Orr stuff and found this article. May have been posted before as it is like a year old, but kind of cool.

Part-time resident Johnny Orr once rivals, still friends with Knight : Ncaa : Naples Daily News

Knight only liked Orr when he was beating Michigan and when Orr left the big10.

Actually, they are friends and were as coaches...even when both were in the Big 10. Why on earth do you think ISU got a home and home series with Indiana a few years after Orr tookover at ISU? There was no incentive for Indiana to do this other than for Knight to help out his friend.
