Coach Knight -

BFD!! The kid was disrespecting Coach Knight by not looking him in the eye. It's not like he bitch-slapped him.

Coach Knight gets results on the court AND in the classroom and his players, for the most part, stay out of trouble. What more do people want?

Wow. Poll Coach K's former players and poll Knights and find out who is more popular with his players. That u would think it's even close is funny. It's not. There is no comparison. Both are extremely respected by their former players but having been intimately involved with one of them, I know the answer to your question. Both however are very outstanding men. Parents send their kids to both still because they know that both of them will care for much more than what the kid does on the basketball court. They both teach their kids to be outstanding men and productive citizens in life. Coach K played for Coach Knight in college and gives his endorsement for Knight. That's enough for me.

Knight did nothing bad here. As has been mentioned, these are not little kids. They are men. Young men but still men. In an age when everyone is so concerned with trying to be politically correct, it's nice to see there are still guys out there like Knight. If I couldn't get my son to Duke, the next option for me would Texas Tech. I'd do it with no regrets.

I know this, if anyone touches me like that he would have gotten shoved straight over the scoring table, no matter what age

Pretty much how I feel about it. Most likely we would have gone back to his office after the game talked things out and I would have said the same things to the media that this kid did and probably even taken the blame upon myself for overreacting and shoving him to save the coaches job. People are making way too much out of the kid saying the right things to the media. You can see from his reaction sitting on the bench checking to see if his jaw is alright that he wasn't happy with it. I've defended Knight everytime he's done something stupid but this one is too stupid for even me to defend.

I think he is a good coach, the issue is that his surrounding cast, including himself are MASTER brainwashers. Their needs to be more coaches like Bruce Weber and Chris Lowery that state it how it is and be easy going and have a good time.....
