Bill Mallory’s office at his Bloomington home is overflowing with memories. The walls and shelves are covered by a collection of photographs, awards and trophies, each telling another story from the former IU football coach’s head coaching career that spanned from 1969 to 1996. Along with IU, his career also featured head coaching stops at Miami (OH), Colorado and Northern Illinois. After Mallory and his wife, Ellie, had recently moved into their current home, all his memories couldn’t quite fit into his newest office. Now, the photographs and awards sprawl throughout the home, through the hallways and onto the walls of the basement. “His office at our previous home was twice the size it is now,” Ellie said. “There’s stuff all over the house, but when you’re a coach as long as he was, you have a lot
of memories.” However, the most telling pieces of memorabilia in his office aren’t even trophies. Sitting on top of his desk, still nearly untouched, are scraps of yellow legal paper and a number of Post-It notes, each one full of names of former players and coaches he planned on contacting in the near future. Next to some of the names are check marks, indicating the ones he’d gotten around to. But some of those names still don’t have checks next to them, and never will. Mallory died at the age of 82 on May 25 due to brain surgery stemming from a fall he suffered a few days before. Those remaining conversations will be left dangling forever. What makes those conversations important is that they were more than just a former coach contacting a former player. As Ellie says, they always meant much more than that for her husband.
“I call them former players, but they’re more than that,” Ellie said. “They’re friends now.” More than a coach. Whether it be as a friend or a father figure, that would always be a recurring theme no matter where Mallory was during a storied career that saw him win 168 total games, win four bowl games, become the first back-toback Big Ten Coach of the Year in 1986 and 1987 and become IU’s all-time winningest head coach with 69 career wins, a record he still owns today. But it was always about more than wins or losses for the man that was seen as more than a coach, and he let that show during his life. “When I look at his win and loss record, I think that doesn’t tell you anything,” Ellie said. “Those are just numbers that don’t mean anything. What’s meaningful is the association he had with the people and

everyone to know his actions were because of the care and passion he has for his students. “I want to make it clear that my actions on that day, in my mind, were the only acceptable actions I could have done given the circumstances,” Seaman said. “I deeply care for my students and their wellbeing. So that’s why I did what I did that day.”

Returning for its sixth year, Limestone Comedy Festival brings 30 sets and more than 60 comedians at six venues around Bloomington. The festival will run May 31 - June 2. Headliners include Margaret Cho and Judah Friedlander. Previously, the festival has had headliners such as Patton Oswalt and W. Kamau Bell. “It’s a multi-venue festival designed to be seen as an entire piece of art,” said Jared Thompson, Comedy Attic owner and co-founder and codirector of Limestone Comedy Festival. “What we are wanting is to feel the different ebbs and flows of different styles of comedy.” Thompson and Mat AlanoMartin, co-director of Limestone, receive more than 500 submissions every year from comics interested in performing, and said they choose performers meticulously. “We are extremely careful we have a great mix of everything, whether it be style, whether it be race, whether it be gender, sexual orientation,” Thompson said. “That ensures you don’t go to a show and see the same boring shit five times.” In addition to acting and doing stand-up comedy, Cho was nominated for an Emmy Award for her role as former North Korean leader Kim Jong-il on the television show “30 Rock.” In her comedy, she critiques social and political structures that suppress women, Asian Americans and the LGBT community. “Margaret, for years now, has been at the forefront of the hot button issues that are happening in America,” Thompson said. “She’s been very outspoken about a lot of things we also find very important.” One of the stand-up comedians performing at the festival is Marcella Arguello, who is writing for Netflix’s “Bill Nye Saves The World.” She was also picked for Vulture Magazine’s “Comedians You Should and Will Know.” Also performing is Ahmed Bharoocha, co-creator of YouTube chan-
Teacher addresses public after shooting NOBLESVILLE, Ind. — Jason Seaman, the teacher who stopped an active shooter at Noblesville West Middle School, said in a public address he is still processing the events that occurred Friday. Seaman made his first public appearance Monday morning in the Noblesville Schools Educational Services Center. The shooting occurred in his classroom at the middle school, leaving him and seventh-grade student Ella Whistler injured. Seaman tackled the shooter and subdued him before the shooter was taken into custody. The case, which is the 23rd U.S. school shooting in 2018, is still under investigation. Whistler was shot multiple times during the shooting and is currently in critical but stable condition, according to school officials. “I can’t say enough how proud of Ella I am, and how we all should be,” Seaman said. “Her courage and strength at such a young age is nothing short of remarkable, and we should all continue to keep her in our minds as she continues to recover.” Seaman, along with Noblesville Schools Superintendent Beth Niedermeyer and Noblesville West Middle School principal Stacey Swan, briefly addressed the public without taking questions. He said the attention made him feel uncomfortable, but he wanted
IU men’s basketball forward Juwan Morgan has opted to return to Bloomington to play his senior season. Morgan made the announcement Tuesday night on his Instagram page, before an IU Athletics press release confirmed the news. He withdrew his name from NBA Draft consideration prior to the deadline, allowing him to return to IU. “It’s been a great process and I thank all the teams for their feedback, but after talking with my family, coaches and closest friends, it is in my best interest to return to IU and continue preparing for my senior year,” Morgan said in the release. “It has always been a goal of mine to play basketball at the highest level and that hasn’t changed.” Morgan did not receive an invite to the NBA Combine earlier this month. He started 30 games for the Hoosiers last season, averaging 16.5 points scored and 7.4 rebounds.
