(Harrisburg) – He called it “a simpler time” than those we live in today.  So says H. Scott Johnson about his much heralded interview a few years back, which culminated in two consecutive second place finishes in the Henderson NCAA Tournament.

 

Johnson, founder of the famed “Index” bearing his name, recently sat down to discuss college basketball, steroid use, his love of fast cars and faster women, and Wake Forest’s prospects in the upcoming tournament.  But he also responded to significant criticism for his lackluster performance in the past two tournaments.

Over 30 participants attended Scott's February seminar on the 'Johnson Index'

            He dismissed complaints that his window to secure a championship is closing fast, or that he needs to make major adjustments to his famed “Johnson Index”.  “With some minor tweaking, in hindsight, the Index has correctly picked the last four tournament champions,” he said.  “The Index hasn’t let me down; I’ve let it down”.  He foresees a big tournament for his beloved Demon Deacons, possibly into the second round.

            He also challenged the image he himself has perpetuated.   “People see the cars, the women, the lifestyle – but that’s not who I am,” Johnson says.  “It’s who people have made me out to be.”

       Johnson’s last few years have not been without controversy.  He has refused to discuss his grand jury testimony in the recent steroid investigation.  He drew criticism when, during his keynote address to the Henderson Tournament banquet in San Diego, he called Dean Smith a ‘has been’ and Lute Olsen a ‘wannabe’.  He further alienated the college basketball establishment by promising to “name names” in an upcoming book, which looks back on his near-success in picking tournament champions.  “This Henderson tournament is not as it seems,” Johnson ominously stated.

            Every bit the mystery as when we first met him, Johnson insists he’ll continue to make the correct picks – and waves – along the way.
