Love this: “Players, and (Knight’s) sport define the meaning of loyalty.
If Americans have become intolerant of such hard men, they
are surely diminished by it. Our young need such leaders, especially
the fighting men in all sectors of our society. But our country’s
young men will never learn such lessons in an atmosphere
of enforced sweetness. We must let boys be boys-so they can
become men.”
Bobby Knight is a genius on the court
off the court he is a very flawed individual....
I have zero respect for someone with no impulse control, and I don’t care how successful he was as a coach.
But when you put his actions into perspective, he has done nothing worse than any other successful college football coach has done. I've seen them throw headphones, knock over gator aid coolers and tables and grab players by the face mask while screaming at them.......that's all part of coaching and turning kids into men.
But in terms of Bobby Knight, I think the media vendetta against him was because he never kissed their asses.........
I wonder what these media pussies would have thought about my drill sergeants.........LOL!
Magpie’s look for faults. I’ll take Patton, Knight, and Trump for my leaders.
