The AAU climate that exists right now wasn't as rampant when he was winning big at IU. Also, unlike a lot of coaches at big name programs, he didn't tend to pursue the biggest recruits. He recruited to his taste and system. You have to admit, as college basketball got worse, he became less relevant, which is sad.

If Knight coached today, he would probably try as hard as possible to avoid dirty AAU players, but he would probably lose, as well.

Knight didn't really do anything of note at Texas Tech besides a Sweet 16 appearance, because he didn't really recruit hotshot players. Despite his grizzled and angry coaching style, the man gives a ton of money to his universities (basically built Texas Tech a new library) and cares a lot about his players getting an education.

Trent Johnson is a coach like that and it's hurting him currently because he doesn't want to "employ" the AAU pimps.
