Robert Knight

Bob Knight seems to be in constant need of a glossy makeover, the troll in serious need of a face-lift.

...
And that's Bob Knight."

...
Knight achieved his 800th career victory when his current team, Texas Tech, beat Nebraska 75-49 Wednesday night.

...
Knight was a 24-year-old rookie coach promoted when Tates Locke left for Miami of Ohio.
...
Knight latched on to this truism early in his career: Everybody has the will to win, but it's really the will to prepare to win that's most important.

Knight established that protocol from his first afternoon practice on Oct. 15, 1965, when he ordered all the balls removed so his players could relearn the game under his doctrines.The Army boys had no issues with Knight's temperament.They were used to discipline in heavy doses: Getting prepared for 5:50 a.m. reveille six days a week.Going to class 51/2 days a week and taking a minimum of 191/2 credit hours.Studying every night because you were tested every day in every class.As plebes, they had gone through a grueling 10-week freshman orientation called "beast barracks."

...
The loyalty that Knight considers imperative cuts both ways.He looks out for his people, frequently reaching out to former players.There is an extensive network between Knight and his players, so it hardly was surprising that when Murray needed triple-bypass heart surgery in July, Knight sent him a note with instructions:There is an extensive network between Knight and his players, so it hardly was surprising that when Murray needed triple-bypass heart surgery in July, Knight sent him a note with instructions:
...
Knight's voice resonates during Murray's distinguished career as a military man and a civilian working with Lockheed Martin the past 161/2 years.
...
Trailing by four points with two minutes left in a game against St. John's during his inaugural season, Knight called a timeout.

...
Knight was not pleased.
...
Murray was about to have a minute with Bob Knight.
...
All it would take for Knight is three, maybe four, more seasons.

And then, Bob Knight, warts and all, will sit at the throne of college basketball's greatest coaches and smirk at the minions who have chastised him and dismissed him as an oafish boor.
