For the life of me, I can't believe all the Knight apologists here and elsewhere. Does he deserve to be executed for this latest incident? No, but that doesn't mean it was right or even "no big deal." It is a big deal, and the fact that the player isn't saying anything about it means nothing. I guess he just wants to keep his scholarship. Big surprise there.
This incident is symptomatic. Knight is out of control. I'm surprised ESPN is making hey out of this as they are the ones that started the Knight rehabilitation tour with that walk-on documentary. Yes, I watched it, and I came away from it thinking Knight mugged for the camera.
An attack on Knight is NOT an attack on disciplinary coaching. Its an attack on thuggery.
