Tony Hinkle turned Butler’s pass-and-cut offense of the 1920s into a coaching textbook for generations. Bob Knight and Gene Keady added their own revisions following Hinkle's forced retirement in 1970. Today, those three remain the gold standard of basketball innovation in Indiana, a state where successful coaches have spent more than a century testing novel concepts, breaking barriers and polishing philosophies before introducing them America.(AP Photo/File)

Writing something that everyone will celebrate about Bob Knight and what he meant to Indiana University as well as all of college basketball is as difficult as trying to beat Knight’s best teams in his prime.
