MSU Hoops and Bobby Knight quote

[aucat]

On another page there was some discussion about Bobby Knight's offensive strategy compared to MSU's offense.

Here's a comment I made on Knight on that page:

Speaking of Bobby Knight, he has a new book out. Yes, I know, he had a bad temper and everyone remembers him for thowing the chair across the court (he hated incompetent refs just like the rest of us, but he went over the top on this occasion). Nevertheless, the guy always had standup students regarding going to class, academics, etc.--you know, the sort of things that we certainly want to emphasize at MSU.

Knight won 11 Big Ten titles, 3 NCAA championships and a U.S. Olympic gold medal. He also won 902 games during his career.

But here's a quote from his book---one that I would love to plaster on the desks of Fields, Huse and Binford:

"You're playing for the name on the FRONT of the jersey. You're not here on scholarship to lose. I didn't recruit you to lose. Losing is abnormal; losing is unusual; losing is unacceptable. That's not what we're here for."

Think him or Phil Jackson would come out of retirement for $130,000/year.

After 4 days of intense college BB, one thing really stuck out to me; all the young ex-assistants who have gone into places like VCU, Fl. gulf Coast, Northwestern st., etc., who have taken very unsuccessful programs and done very well. And, it didn't take 7 years. And none of those teams run an offense like Huse's.
