  1. Coach Knight has his controversies. But the man KNEW basketball. His players either loved or hated him; ir had a love/hate relationship with him. He is legendary in the basketball world, nowhere more than Indiana.

  2. When he first started working as the color analyst on TV, he was amazing. I wish I had some copies of those games. I would love to listen again to a man that knew basketball as well or better than anyone ever has.

  3. Mark you lucky dog. I only had a chance to see one IU practice in January of 1976. Benson got kicked out 2 min into practice. To me it looked like he was working pretty hard. Knight was complex for sure but he did provide me with years of teams that I absolutely loved to root for.
