  1. Great read, as usual. I especially liked the insight into Bob Knight’s coaching style. I don’t recall ever reading that Knight let some things go. In Wilkerson’s case, though, it sounds like the wise choice. And running 20 miles a pop? Wow.

    1. Knight let a lot of things go behind the scenes over the years. Joby Wright didn’t run the stadium steps, either. Jay Edwards got away with a lot. A lot of fans did favors for the players back in the day. Knight didn’t necessarily arrange it but was aware of some of them. Most coaches will made adjustments for the better players. Thanks for the comment!
