His coaching style may even be mimicked by little league coaches and parents. There are enough horror stories about parents and coaches who go over the edge in kids' sports. It doesn't look good to have a bad example like Knight around to justify their psychotic behavior. Unfortunately, I must be alone in thinking this. Five hundred or so supporters showed up at Indiana University to support Knight.
Former players support their coach in the newspapers.
Yes, Knight has his positives. While his players aren't being sought in National Basketball Association drafts, they are graduating on time with diplomas - and without police rap sheets. Knight recruits eligible players by the rules as well. But then there's the average idiot fan that rears his head on the radio and keeps me sticking to my guns. One guy I heard said his antics were the same as the ones he had in the Marine Corps.
