Chuck it seems like you are making some statements that are absolute. I would think it appropriate to add "IMO." Afterall, that is your opinion. Different strokes for different folks. The mental make-up of the kid or young man DOES matter. I'm an example of someone that wouldn't get all shook up because of something Bobby Knight said to me. Discipline has been instilled in me as well as various situations that have caused me to develop a thick skin. What level of excellence can Coach Knight set for me that is higher than the one I set for myself? This subject will show my bias due to the fact that I'm from Indiana. I love this game, love Indiana basketball and Coach Knight is the man! IMO, of course.
