re: Don't wish death on anyone, but the reality is Bobby Knight was a dirt bag!

The man was a great coach who knew the game of basketball and could get the most out of his players. He was also a hypocrite of the highest degree. He preached that his players should do the right thing, go to class and graduate yet he acted like a man above the rules. Convicted of assaulting a police officer in Puerto Rico(he did not show for the trial) assaulted an LSU fan at final four for calling him Tiger Bait, brought used toilet paper to practice, choked players. The list goes on. The most damning indictment was that he shunned Coach K when he passed him on the all time wins list. Man was flawed in many ways. With that said, if I had to win one game I would pick him as my coach.

When K passed him, Knight had been diagnosed with Alzheimers. He had been in full blown Alzheimers for about the last 3 years but had been suffering from it for a while prior to the last 3 years.
