Same Knight, Different Channel: Basketball Legend Bob Knight at West Point and Today

by Jack Isenhour

Overview

Bob Knight often remarks he never got over West Point. It's where the legend cut his teeth and formulated his coaching style. It's where he learned he had "to win-gotta win." Jack Isenhour, a player on that first team, examines that formative rookie year of the surefire Hall-of-Famer and gives firsthand descriptions of Knight's departure from Indiana and rebirth at Texas Tech.
