how's the job market for knight players?
Bobby Knight coached my favorite player of all time, in Isiah Thomas, and unfortunately I can't stomach what Isiah's doing with his career now, either.
If Knight had coached more players who achieved Hall of Fame status in the NBA, would their college diplomas, and the education that comes with those diplomas, have made them better citizens within the world of professional sports? Do his athlete-graduates go into their non-NBA workplaces and become paragons of professionalism and fair-mindedness? Or are they so beat down after being coached by Knight that they end up taking shitty jobs and bullying their secretaries or other professional underlings?
Probably not a whole lot of stats on that one.
