Bob Knight And
The Black Athlete
By Dr. Mark D. Robinson
LONDON, ENGLAND -- There have been several books and hundreds of articles written about Bobby Knight as a person and as a coach. However, none of them has focused on nor suggests an understanding of the effect he has had on Black athletes who have played basketball for him.

Dr. Mark Robinson, after earning his BA and Masters at Indiana, completed his Doctorate in Sports Psychology from Manchester University, UK. He is currently working on a book based on the psychology of athletes. Comments can be mailed to him at: dr_mdrobinson@blackathlete.com .

while we are on an intellectual bent here, I'll digress further...
What's in a name? That which we call a rose, by any other name would smell as sweet ...
I found this interesting in a weird coincidental way.
I went to wiki to look up Mike Davis.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Davis
and found this indivdual.
First he was born in Fontana, California (back to the Inland Empire!)
No, he doesn't not coach college basketball but this author is not without his critics. Some of the same issues that people have with Mike Davis the coach are to be found in the wiki article about Mike Davis the author.

Jill Stewart..has written that many of Mr Davis’s "key anecdotes and major facts" are "fake, phoney, made-up, crackpot bullshit."
