Legendary Indiana basketball coach Bobby Knight dies at the age of 83.
His legacy will be complicated similar to Woody Hayes because of his violence towards his players but he had the interest of his players at heart(his blow ups aside) as he was blunt about the futures of most of his players and insisted on them being student-athletes to prepare for life after Indiana and later Texas Tech.Ornery old guy is gone huh? Great coach. A winner who could be self defeating at time. He sure left his mark. He always insisted on team basketball.
I hate to hear that. No doubt Sherman was brutal on Georgia especially. If so, I'm sorry I started the thread.His idol was William Tecumseh Sherman, a war criminal if ever there was one.
And changed his life dropping an "n bomb" on him in practice, "you just wanna be just another .. from Chicago like your brothers?"I was shocked when I heard he only coached one NBA all-star, Isiah Thomas. He made the most with the least.
