The General

So, Coach Knight is only three wins from tying Coach Smith for most career wins in college Basketball. Personally I have always liked the general. You can disagree with his methods, you can call him a bully, you can call him an egotist but what you must always call him is a man with high expectations for his players on and off the court. When you graduate your players at the rate he does, when you coach for decades without even a sniff of recruiting violations as compared to 99% of the other coaches in his field you must be doing something right. Best of all, his next victory moves the bigot one slot lower in the wins.

A good article about Coach Smith talking about this event can be found here. Notice the comments by Williams and Wooden.
