Bogney’s post almost implies that Coach Knight’s “choking” of Neil Reed caused a “broken heart” that led to congenital heart failure.

I’m not condoning choking athletes, but any college player of almost any sport can likely relate to tougher incidents than that from coaches during their tenure.

As a Texas Tech fan that watched Coach Knight finish his career, I came to appreciate his genius for the game and to detest his ego and some of his tactics. Like many of the all time great coaches, he was tough and prone to some stupid acts.
