Love him or hate Coach Bob Knight knows his stuff and he can flat out coach and teach the game of basketball. Now he has pass Coach Dean Smith as the all time winning coach in division one basketball.  As a diehard Tar Heel fan it was all about Coach Dean Smith and what he has meant to Carolina basketball.  Both coaches approaches to game are stark in contrast, nicknamed the General, coach Robert Knight uses a militaristic approach to coaching his young men. Coach Smith on the other hand took the low key method.  The only time I can recall seeing Coach Smith upset during a game was when he was ejected against Kansas in the 1991 final four semi finals.  Coach Knight on the other hand outbursts were legendary.  Coach Knight was Pattonesque and his players loved him for and remain loyal to him. Coach Smith, if I had to compare him to a General, I would use Omar Bradley. Gen Bradley was the soldiers soldier his leadership style was much different than Patton but just as effective. If I had any ounce of basketball talent to play at the collegiate level, Coach Smith would have been my first choice and Coach Knight would have been my second. Although coaches win games, it is the players that make it happen. Congrats to Coach Knight.
