The Indiana men's basketball family is devastated to learn of the passing of 1987 National Champion Daryl Thomas. Our prayers go out to his family, friends, teammates and coaches and all others who he had an impact on throughout his life.

A native of Westchester, Illinois, Thomas scored 1,095 points in his career at IU, averaging 10.3 points per game. He scored 20 points in his final collegiate game, the 1987 national championship against Syracuse, including an assist on Keith Smart's basket that gave the Hoosiers the title.

Thomas averaged 14.5 points a game as a junior and 15.7 points as a senior, earning All-Big Ten honors both seasons.

He has served as the head basketball coach at Montini Catholic High School in Lombard, Illinois since 2015.
 
Too young.

Thomas had been the basketball coach at Montini Catholic High School in suburban Chicago since 2015. The school says Thomas died Wednesday from a heart attack.

52 is way too young. Hopefully more people will be adopting the new research that looks to overturn the deadly bad eating guidelines that have been promoted by the government since 1977, that weren’t supported by valid science research.
