Article Critique

On ESPN I found an article saying Bob Knight, the head coach at Texas Tech resigned on Monday. The hot tempered coach is most memorable for his 29 seasons spent at Indiana. He transfered to Texas Tech in 2001 and is one of the most winning coaches in men's college basketball history. Knight is most famous for his "my way" style of coaching. "I've simply tried to do what I think is best," Knight said. "Regrets? Sure. Just like the song. I have regrets. I wish I could done things better at times. I wish I would have had a better answer, a better way, at times. But just like he said, I did it my way and when I look back on it, I don't think my way was all that bad"(ESPN). I'm not much of a fan when it comes to basketball. As an athlete I have nothing but respect for Bob Knight. He was an amazing coach who taught a lot of young players how to prepare for life. His teams grew strong with confidence, and after dealing with his coaching style they were able to take on anything. I wish for every sport I played I had a coach like Knight. He was tough and an asshole, but he was an amazing coach that pushed players talents to the limit. Even if you don't respect him, Bob Knight will surely be missed in college basketball for a long time.
