Quotable:

“As I got older, though, I noticed something about Bob Knight: He was a lot like my dad. They both were military men, they both insisted on discipline and hard work, and they both had a problem with their faces getting really red when they were really mad. As I segued into adulthood, when Knight finally was wearing out his welcome in Bloomington (that is to say: not winning as much as he used to), I found myself having sympathy for him. This guy was part of my youth. It was like watching teenagers taunt a chained old dog. And now that he’s on ESPN and flirting with returning to coaching (again), I should probably just admit it: I love Bob Knight.” – Will Leitch
