Coach K’s final Duke home game today

I don't think he's clean and he sits on a throne of lies. Great basketball coach though

You also described Osborne. Major college football and basketball have always been dirty.

Yeah. It's not even the dirty part that bugs me. It's the dirty and self righteous

The only basketball coach I can think of that is one of the greats that probably didn’t cheat was Bobby Knight and it showed later in his career when he couldn’t get top talent. I agree that the top recruits aren’t just coming to Duke to play for coach K. They were always getting some money.

Funny thing is, coach K is strait from the Bob Knight coaching tree.

I know their coaching styles are very similar, but coach K didn’t get a guy like Zion without cheating. Bob Knight even called out John Wooden for cheating.

I guess I wouldn’t say their coaching styles are similar. I’ve met both of them face to face and Knight tries to intimidate by fear. Coach K is way more calculated and focused. Not that his program is squeaky clean but I would be willing to bet that Duke was pretty high on Zion’s list anyway.

I’m talking about their man to man defense and motion offense even though Coach K moved to some zone later in his career. Their coaching philosophies are very similar in this regard. Also it’s been out there for a long time now Zion was paid. You don’t pull in top classes without paying players. You can call Knight a lot of things but he wasn’t a cheater. He also cared more than 99 percent of coaches about academics.

You are right about the man to man and then later zone. I don’t know as much about coach Knight as I do about coach K I guess. After reading coach K’s books and where he came from as a kid I’ve always thought he was a class act. Fair points though.
