Mavericks’ notebook: Remembering Bobby Knight, toasting the Rangers
Members of basketball’s royal court lost one of their own on Wednesday when hall of fame coach Bobby Knight passed away at 83.
Jason Kidd never crossed paths with Knight. But as a member of the coaching fraternity, his respect for the polarizing but outrageously successful former Indiana Hoosiers coach was clear.
“You’re talking about one of the best coaches at any level,” Kidd said. “It’s incredible what he did at Indiana. I don’t know if he could coach today, but just the imprint he left behind. There are a lot of coaches that have come from under his coaching tree. You’re talking about one of the best coaches to ever do it.”
