Thank you for posting this. Coach Knight was a HUGE influence in my life as he was with many people from the Midwest. The quote that stayed with me all these years came after someone asked him "Coach, why are you so hard on your players?" He replied, "If I don't teach these players the value of working hard and doing the best they can, what's going to happen to them when they go out and get a job?" "They're going to get fired."
