For all his greatness, how much greater could he have been had he toned down on some of the cussing and intensity in order to land a higher caliber level of recruit. For someone who always preached discipline, he himself wasn't disciplined enough to adapt to the changing times. That said, obviously from a coaching standpoint he's virtually unmatched.
I never understood how he could become part of the enemy he hated so much at the end of his career. His hatred of the media was spot on and part of the reason I liked him so much but to work for ESPN after his coaching career ended was baffling for me and I lost respect for him when he did it.
Wtf?
Always thought he was a scumbag deep down and if he tried that shit today, he would be beaten then killed more than likely
A buddy of mine went to IU in the early eighties. He had long hair and Knight told him to shave his hair or get cut. He told Knight "but Jesus had long hair". Knight walked him down to the pool and said "if you can walk across the water, you can keep your hair". Classic
