Wow. Poll Coach K's former players and poll Knights and find out who is more popular with his players. That u would think it's even close is funny. It's not. There is no comparison. Both are extremely respected by their former players but having been intimately involved with one of them, I know the answer to your question. Both however are very outstanding men. Parents send their kids to both still because they know that both of them will care for much more than what the kid does on the basketball court. They both teach their kids to be outstanding men and productive citizens in life. Coach K played for Coach Knight in college and gives his endorsement for Knight. That's enough for me.
Knight did nothing bad here. As has been mentioned, these are not little kids. They are men. Young men but still men. In an age when everyone is so concerned with trying to be politically correct, it's nice to see there are still guys out there like Knight. If I couldn't get my son to Duke, the next option for me would Texas Tech. I'd do it with no regrets.
