Knight is an ass---no doubt. And I've heard stories first hand from those who played for him. Some crazy stuff. BUT....from those people,I have also heard of many, many great things he did...Likepay for uniforms for 4 middle schools in Bloomington. Knight was a generous man----unfortunate for him, he couldn't live by the same morals he instilled....I spoke to, two former players last year..Both told me---"hated the guy....loved the guy...glad I played for him....hated that I plyed for him. And both said---"He's a big part of what I am today."
Its hard to defend Knight...And to an extent, you can't. But I feel both sides should always be told. For the ass he was, he could also be one of the most generous people on the planet.
