Knight's a few decades late with rant

Bob Knight's speech to the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame was going to throw shrapnel in all directions, you just knew it. But you were wrong.

The wrong part is that he didn't aim his explosion more directly at his enemies at Indiana. He chose to be gracious through omission, even acknowledging that he might share blame for staying longer than he should have, and credit to him for that.

But his latest broadside at the college basketball system that not only undermined many of his own more noble sentiments but sold itself to the first and highest bidders comes far too late to ever matter, except as a period piece.

In fact, the system had already deteriorated before Knight ever started at Indiana, and though his own contributions to that deterioration were not systemic but individual (a temper that too often smeared the line between tough love and tough), the train had already left the station at the beginning of Knight's tenure, not its end. The only thing that really happened since then was that it picked up size and speed to the point where (a) nobody could change it and (b) nobody wants to.
