Now if you feel the actions are wrong, that is your right. Just do not come here and get mad because Knight does this and ignore all the situations that took place in front of the camera and not say anything. I agree there is a double standard, but the two coaches I referenced are also very successful coaches and the media or the public was not outraged.

That's my point, successful coach = free pass. I'm not saying anyone should be fired for any of these particular/individual offenses, but I get tired hearing "graduates players", "won national championships", "players love him" as the basis of determining whether or not these acts were right or wrong.
