Bobby Knight's game antics are no role model for youth coaches but he does do the job he's been hired to do.

Mike Wilbon gave what I consider to be a
perfect description of Bob Knight. On PTI yesterday, Wilbon said that Knight is a "great coach and a small, angry, vindictive man". Truer words were never spoken.
Did Wilbon do this as he perused his Billy Packer School of Commentary Completion Certificate? Does Wilbon know that Coach Knight is 6'5"? Now I am sure he used the adjective "small" in a figurative manner however, it makes him look ridiculous and invalid.
Yes I am a Bobby Knight "fan" and have been all my life. I do realize that he has done some things that he should not be proud of. He has admitted that most of things were in a moment of overreaction.
What most of you have not seen is that he took someone like ME aside at every one of his summer camps and gave them a lesson on how to study and how to be a gentleman!!
But you try to help one old lady find a seat during a game or help one reporter find his camera in Puerto Rico . . .
Anyway, sorry for the rant. I had a lot more but that is not what this thread is about. sorry.
