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. Both he and the bad radio host agreed that Knight's style is acceptable. Yes, sometimes kicking ass and hazing 'n' razing like a Marine Corps drill sergeant is the only way things get done or improve. Hey, that's how the actual bad-asses in the armed forces get trained to survive the rigors of the battlefield.
