Ok, I've hijacked this thread, although unintentionally. So this is my last post (in this thread) about Knight.

The mental make-up of the kid or young man DOES matter.

Of course it matters in lots of ways. But it is absolutely irrelevant to the question of whether he should be mentally, physically or verbally abused.
No student should be subject to being choked or kicked; or having to look at dirty toilet paper from his coach's butt. I'm pretty sure that every psychologist worth his/her salt would agree with that. IMO.

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.

And that, with all respect (and I mean that absolutely sincerely), is the problem. Anyone who can look at the question from the outside can see the outrageousness of his actions.
As I said, I've beaten this horse long enough. I'll stay off the subject now.
