I think it depends on the make-up and talent of your child. First of all, it isn't Coach Knight's job to give someone's child values. It is the parent's job. Knight said (yesterday) that today's players do not have the fundamentals that they used to. Add to that the lower moral standards. Top all of that off with an education (you can go to school to become an expert on parenting) system that has taken the place of "the village raising a man" or whatever and you get these sensitivities. He wants his players to do what they are supposed to within his system. when he has had players that are good enough he loosens the reigns (Isaiah and Calbert Cheaney) but when he doesn't he uses his system. AND, they graduate which is the best most college players could hope to ever do.
