Growing up in Indiana in the 1970s, Knight was one of the sports heroes of my youth, and I feel a little sad today. After living in Michigan for awhile, I learned to see him as outsiders saw him, and I understand all of the negative comments here. But this excerpt from the Detroit News story about his death caught my attention:

There was this side of Knight as well: He took pride in his players’ high graduation rates, and during a rule-breaking era he never was accused of a major NCAA violation.

At Indiana, he insisted his base salary not exceed that of other professors. At Texas Tech, he sometimes gave back his salary because he didn’t think he earned it.

Knight expected players to exceed expectations on the court and in the classroom. He abided by NCAA rules even when he disagreed with them, never backed down from a dust-up and promised to take his old-school principles to the grave.
