Lets not throw all parties under the bus.

I also know the Great Billy Clyde and was one who had no clue how great a person he was untill I got to know him. Lets be positive and not judge a book by its cover.

Coach K came up under Bob Knight but you could not pay that man to treat players the way Knight did. Knight won a couple of titles with great talent, but he also ran off the Bird man.

Lets be real, if any coach reaches the success of either coach K or Bobby Knight at the high school level that schools parents should be tickled. I know I am.

Coach Knight won three titles and yes he had talent. Coach K has won titles and has had talent too. The Bird man didn't win a college title-so maybe that means Knight was right and Bird wasn't . Knight won a title as a player too. Those arguments are so lame.

Amen History.

So shallow. Your right, both coaches won titles with great talent. Bird took I State to the final game with no one around him. I'd like to see Knight take that club to the finals. That wasn't my point, i was reffering to treatment of players and positive motivation, something Coach K is great at and he still gets on his players when he feels the need, it is just not non-stop screaming with players looking like yoyos.

Hummm. Been to several GC games this year, freshman, JV and Varsity. So it's my opinion, just as yours is your opinion. Don't think you can put the GC staff on the same level as Knight and Coach K.

Not trying to compare GC coaches to Knight or Coach K strictly as coaches, only in their handling of kids, the same way these players might have to deal with people latter in life, whether it be in coaching or another line of work, that's not to say they are not going to get ripped every now and then I just don't think the constant, nonstop screaming is necessary. Just an opinion

I understand your point completely. But as someone who has been around coach Knight and his practices-you have no idea. You simply have bought into the media made Knight. Yes he can be tough on his players, but you don't see how he counsels them as well. He always wanted his players to graduate from college, because he felt that was the best way for the young men to be prepared for life after hoops. Talk to the players that graduated under coach Knight and they will tell you that he was tough on them, but now they understand why, and almost to a player, they revere him.

 

Good luck to the Braves and Panthers the rest of the season.

Kinght wants to be buried face down and I'm sure he can be accomadated. (Great but no class)

How did this turn from a Grant Vs Carrol thread to a Bob Knight Coach K thread? Go Panthers. Good luck GC coaches, sounds like you'll need it with those type of fans.

I think you Politician need to express your issues to the coaches, you sound like a disgruntled parent. If your child is not happy then go talk to the coaches and express that, maybe you can come to an understanding, don't get on a public forum behind a screen name and bash the coaches that the administration chose to hire. He is doing what he knows and is pushing the kids to go harder than they have ever gone before. I know no one is perfect and so be it that a coach hollars constantly but if you truly watch there is a lot of coaching that goes on well. Besr of luck to the Braves the rest of the season.

Actually it's none of my business what Grants coaches or any other coaches say or do, they can scream their vocal cords out for all I care but when they wonder why average fans with no ties don't come they might want to consider how they act. hope it's different in the class room.
