As far as Wikipedia's reliability, it is more accurate than most anything that is put on the baord, particularly the Bob Knight page that has sources cited for the gun incident in Texas.

lroberts do you realize what your logic sounds like? "He is just a poor misunderstood person and really means well. He didn't mean to shoot his buddy, it was his buddy's fault." I guess it was his buddies fault for Knight not purchasing a hunting license.
I do understand my logic. Knight has done a lot of good things, and mixed in are some not so good (and even just plain dumb) things. The good FAR outweigh the bad IMO. The media does a great job of portraying the bad, but omitting the good. Is some of that brought on by Knight, yes. As far as the shooting accident, yes it was the other hunters fault. Could it have been avoided.....yes.....probably by both sides. The other hunter admitted that he broke line, what do you not get about that? If you read my post carefully you would have noticed that I said he should have had a license...there is no excuse for that and I didn't make one.
