Bob Knight was the mentor to many coaches, including former UNC head coach Roy Williams, who shared his thoughts on the legendary coach passing in a statement released by the school. “Coach Dean Smith was certainly my mentor, but the next guy for me was Bob Knight. He acted like I was one of his guys and made me so much better.”
