With all due respect to his close relatives...

4. My dad was a very successful high school football coach. He had ZERO respect for Bob Knight

Dad was the total opposite. He won championships by coaching, mentoring, and encouraging his players. Years later they were still picking him up and taking him out for dinner and drinks. They openly wept at his funeral. He NEVER demeaned them.

At Dad's retirement party a Circuit Court Judge, who had played for a rival school, showed up to sing Dad's praises. (He wasn't on the invite list, but who was going to tell him no??) After a game that our team lost to his, Dad went to their locker room to congratulate them on a game well played. That moment stuck with this man for 30+ years. And he wasn't the only player from that team who told me that exact same story.
