Bobby Knight: Intimidate and belittle
Posted Dec 28, 2006
Maybe we will see Bob Knight smile instead of snarl, acknowledge instead of attack, express humility instead of hostility when he passes Smith as the man with the most wins as a major-college coach. Maybe. The best we can do is work toward ambivalence, a grudging acceptance of this shift in the coaching pecking order. In part, this reflects our admiration and respect for Dean Smith and the way in which he did things.
