[QUOTE="Northeast Stinger, post: 805931, member: 1640"] So. About K. I will let others decide if he is saint or sinner. He is a disciple of Bobby Knight who inculcated a style I am not enamored of, coarse, loud, arrogant, something of a bully, and somewhat entitled. Just not my thing. As a kid watching coach Wooden at UCLA, I was more impressed with the calm demeanor, gentlemen’s style and ALWAYS ALWAYS teaching. UCLA players didn’t always come with “can’t miss as a pro” credentials but they were taught the “UCLA style” which served them well. Next coach I would put ahead of K would be Jim Valvano. A little bit like Bobby Cremins, he communicated love, enthusiasm and a positive spirit, much like our football coach. Some kids coming into college sports need nurturing more than the “sink or swim” approach. I don’t begrudge K his victory lap but I have a feeling I’m going to get a little tired of all the fawning sports media types this year. He was a basketball coach not a scientist who cured cancer.
