“...during his coaching career, which began in 1965 at Army, all but four of his four-year players completed degrees, a ratio of nearly 98 percent.”
That’s huge. Bobby Knight is a polarizing person, certainly with his detractors and supporters, but as a father of a collegiate athlete, that’s ultimately what I am concerned about. I was thrilled this year when my son’s team sent all of the parents the top ten team goals for the year - academics were the top three goals.

The shooting story was a joke. It was three blocks from my house and they guy that said he shot at him is a joke in town and Coach never shot at him. He was bird hunting...but you guys believe what you want.... after all you are sooooo close to the story!!

Here in the TC’s we hear nothing but great things about Mr. Knight.

And, Alford could barely “get in the air” when he jumped!

I’d have him and his family over for dinner. I’d serve him well.

He’s a bully and a prick.
I’d love to see him mouth off to somebody his own size and get humilated.

Doesn’t really matter, though, does it?

20 years since he's won a title, and that was at Indiana not Texas Tech.
If I had a wish for a kid with talent I'd want him to be coached by John Wooden.
To: Bruinator
Bob Knight is the best teacher of basketball on this planet.
He did not have the luxury of having Sam Gilbert as a booster, as John Wooden did.

I’m sure you’ve already heard this ping.

I always thought Knight to be a rough task master for the lads, but if my son had the skill to compete, I sure would have wanted him in Knight's program. He's likely had recalcitrants over the years, but if they stayed with with him they would graduate. Parents would know the darlings had the best chance to graduate without having extra curricular problems.
I believe Knight relished the bad press. For most of his career, his school's fans could enjoy the ride. I wish he had spent most of his career at Minnesota rather than Indiana.
