Flaws and all, I would have played for him if I were good enough.Bob Knight had a lot of flaws- He was not an alcoholic. I am not sure he even drank at all.
In many ways he was his own worst enemy.
As an IU student during the Hoosier glory days-Knight was a legend then.
He used to have a question and answer session each fall with students in the auditorium. Anyone brave enough to ask a question often got a hell of an answer from Knight. Graduating and going to class were just as important to him as winning.
Different era....
What years were you at IU?
