One other thing I don't quite understand is Jimmy's reputation, which is what I think a lot of people hold against him. He's ly, sarcastic, and just generally doesn't seem to care for the media, and that's held against him. Well, NO ONE has ever despised the media quite like Knight, yet he's beloved despite being flat out abrasive rather than just generally snarky like JB. What the hell is the difference?
Difference is after you have been retired and out of the spot light for a while people tend to forget about some of the bad things about you after a while. Ten years after Boeheim retires people will probably forgot most of the bad things. This is an extreme example and no disrespect intended but no one remembers Jimmy V for his recruiting violations and players not graduating. They remember him for his ESPY speech and his cancer fund research. Time really helps one reputation.
