text: do you think bobby knight is a bully? he keeps kicking or smacking his players whenever they mess up. i think one of these days the kid's gonna hit back. he's a brilliant coach, and he's a bully...arrogant,  and too often in his career and life he has been too aggressive and inconsiderate to others...i don't know why some folks think that being an asshole is a prerequisite for being a good coach...john wooden and dean smith certainly wouldn't think so
