Coach Bobby Knight
Coach Knight is a great coach and great teacher. The problem I see
with him is that he can't get the top players anymore. The kids today
don't want to play in a structured offense. They want to run up and
down the floor and score. This in my opinion is why his teams have
been mediocre lately. This is not a knock on Bobby, its just the way
it is.
I have been a Bobby Knight fan for yrs since the 70's. I have seen
him do some great things with kids that wern't MacDonalds All
Americans. When he was getting blown out in the Championship
game in 1987 against Syracuse he kept fouling the Orangemen
who couldn't shoot foul shots and he won at the Buzzer. That was
a game that Syracuse clearly had won. The fundamentals of
basketball, playing defense, rebounding and making foul shots won
that Championship.
