Dealing with lower level coaches?

[Andy]

Besides what has already been mentioned, the other factor is that the newer and/or less experienced coaches at the Middle School, Fr, and JV levels have what they see on TV as their role models...they probably think that being like Bobby Knight is how a coach is supposed to act!

Some of the newer ones haven't seen coach Knight coach. My guess is they're modeling themselves after that one guy from Duke.

I doubt there are too many people that do not know or have not seen Coach Knight at some point of their life if they are old enough to coach right now. It is not like it has been 10 years since his last game.

Out of control coaches and out of control parents have the same thing in common...experience, or the lack thereof. I've found young parents of younger players to be, in general, far more boisterous than the older parents of older players. Same for coaches. Most get it figured out after they've gotten a few years under their belts...but not all of them.

Not when you see the antics of many coaches. Coach Knight was just successful, there are other coaches that are a lot worse and not as public. Again Coach K often gets a pass because he is engaging in interviews with the media. Coach Knight just did not give a rats behind if the media liked him or not.

This is true. And I found it to be among his more endearing qualities.

I also agree which is why I was always a fan.

That also being said, I know many D1 officials that said they loved working his games. And stated that he was usually more knowledgeable about rules than most coaches and he was fair to them as opposed to other coaches around the country.

You do realize Knight finished at the bottom of the Big 10 in T"s received every year? Coach K finishes near the bottom of the ACC?
But MAN were those Knight blow ups memorable.

I'm only guessing here, but how much of that has to do with fear?

College coaches at the D-I level in general get away with a lot. I think at lot more than at any other level. If they tried pulling what they did at the NBA or high school level, there would be more technicals handed out IMO.

I do not know about that. I think college coaches are more intelligent about what they complain about and often are stopped in their tracks by know knowledgeable officials. I have never had a college coach say the things to me that a high school coach says. And all the cursing I see high school coaches do and no one does anything I doubt that.

Also I not too long ago saw some tape of NBA officials interactions with NBA coaches and players, the language is much more direct from officials and do not allow a lot of the crap to go on that I see many high school and college officials get away.

I agree with this statement 100%.
