Probably has the best record in NCAA for kids in his program graduating from college.

I had a teammate in high school who played for Knight and graduated from Indiana. He took all shop classes in high school,a great kid but definitely not college material. Not surprisingly he had no problems with the "help" he got, including Knight browbeating professors into passing him. So I'm sorry, but this nonsense about Knight's great graduation record is complete crock.

Here here!! Don't forget alot of his kids left the program to play for other schools.

Plus the man had no class. He's hardly a role model and got his comeuppance about 20 years too late. You can win and not be an A.H.

All shop classes? He didn’t have to take math or english? Wow, your high school was subpar wasn’t it?

I doubt that very much. Many professors at Indiana were extremely vocal critics of Knight, particularly Murray Sperber. I've never heard a single professor--not one--ever make any sort of allegation like that towards Knight.
