He is on my list of "people I would like to have dinner with". If my son were going to play D-I basketball, I would want him to play for Knight. He has incredibly high standards for his players. He expects them to think, he expects them to be respectful, and he expects them to graduate. Much more than can be said for many other college coaches. Temper? yes. But he has qualities that I admire and I think others could learn a lot from him. It is no coincidence that Knight is friends with Bill Parcells, another coach that I admire (mostly because he won't return to the Cowboys if TO comes back).
