For all  the "bad" karma this idea presents, I can't help but think of one   
fact that helps define the "good" in Bob Knight's split persona:   He  
graduates 
his players; they get an education--or they leave the  team--and I  can't 
recall any recruiting scandals ever touching  him.  Those are core NU  values 
that 
he would uphold.  Is  that enough for NU to try to get him--even  if he were 
to 
be open to  the idea--probably not, given his other, well-noted  flaws.  But 
it  
sure is intriguing....

Yes Knight has the many of the best and the worst in him about NCAA  
athletics-
 
-I once had the opportunity to talk with Glen Grunwald , a reserve on the  
'81 championship team, and he told me every time Indiana came into Chicago,  
(presumably --only to play NU or perhaps Depaul) he would call him to see how he  
was doing--We know all of his bad points as well, and they are bad.
 
Would a big name coach be the answer ?  I wonder  if many 17 year  old kids 
outside of the BayArea would even know who Mike Montgomery is ? not  that I 
have any knowledge that he is looking, but we sure need something to help  
kickstart the program
