Here is a quick transcript of what he said:
Mike Davis spent 6 years at Indiana University telling the schools rabid basketball fans things they didn't want to hear, things such as he would rather coach in the NBA and the state's good 'ol boy fans made him uncomfortable. Indiana paid Davis close to a million dollars a year to win basketball games and promote the University. Not to act as a sports columnist or talk show host. That's my job. And unfortunately today I have to share an unpleasant truth about a basketball coach I actually care about. Mike Davis' mind blowing lack of savvy cost him one of the best jobs in college basketball and in all likelyhood cost him a shot of turning the Indiana job into something more to his liking. Last week, shortly after contracting the Steve Alford flu, and skipping Indiana's contest with Iowa, Davis claimed that Indiana needed one of its own to lead its program. It was one last not so subtle insinuation that Davis didn't have the right complexion for the Indiana connection. I'm a Hoosier. I worked in Bloomington Indiana. Davis is wrong. He never seemed to grasp that he made it impossible for Indiana folk to love him because he refused to love them first.BINGO!!!!!!!!!!

Nice of Billy Packer to undue any good Whitlock did by commenting on the CBS broadcast how IU fans never gave Davis a chance.
Packer is flat out awful.
