Classic Digger: order $1,000 bottles of wine, then bolt, and let someone else pay the bill.

Probably some truth but really small and spiteful to say it at that time.

Perhaps, but the Digger horror stories are many.
As usually happens, the person hired to replace him was the opposite, the perfect gentleman, John MacLeod. Never wanted any coach to get over the hump more than him at ND.

They are...and MacLeod was awful unfortunately.
To be honest, When Digger had a magnificent team after the Final Four appearance he blew some great opportunities.

Slow playing against BYU was his biggest mistake, that game shouldn't have been close
but in the end it was the BIg East that killed Phelps. All in all the 70's to mid 80's were golden times for ND basketball. The Pit earned it's name back then.
