[QUOTE="armo859, post: 1545764, member: 29994"] Thanks for this. It inspired me to share my family's Lou story. Right above /\ /\. It reminds me, somehow I got involved in a Twitter fight about Bobby Knight with of all people John Feinstein - Bobby's official biographer and un-repentant apologist. About whether someone is a great coach simply based on wins and losses and not whether they elevate the play of his team and helps them get to the next level, as players and people. My main point(s) were Lou proved that you can be a great coach, tough, win lots of games, and STILL be a good person that his players loved and remained loyal to forever. And that knowing Lou despised Bobby Knight was all I needed to know about what kind of person the General was in real life. Feinstein wouldn't budge on Bobby, but even he acknowledged Lou was a wonderful man. [/QUOTE]
