You may not believe this but B.K. was my hero. He told it the way he felt, he was not worried about the "phonies" who who asked "A--H..." ?s. He also was honest in his emotions, didn't care where or when he showed them. .... OOO
I think I have said this before in a post but Knight is a genius and a great coach but a flawed human. He could have maintained his intellectual honesty and integrity without the bullying and general unwillingness to interact maturely with folks. Coach K at Duke for instance can do both.
Knight would have done well to leave IU about five years before he did. He got lazy with his recruiting and started to live on his laurels. But all in all am glad he, rather than anyone else, was the IU coach for thirty years.
