The coaching legacy Bob Knight leaves behind - ESPN

Bob Knight, who died Wednesday at age 83, had one of the most storied careers in college basketball history.

He won four national championships — one as a player at Ohio State and three as the head coach at Indiana. He coached in five Final Fours and led the Hoosiers to 11 Big Ten championships.

Knight won gold medals and multiple coach of the year awards, and was inducted into both the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame and the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame.

When discussing Knight's achievements, however, high up on the list is the number of future coaches who passed through West Point or Bloomington or Lubbock, either on his staff or as a player.

A full list of his coaching tree could go on for pages and pages. There are dozens of former assistant coaches, from Dave Bliss and Don DeVoe at Army to Bob Donewald Sr., Jim Crews, Royce Waltman and Bob Weltlich at Indiana.

He has a slew of former managers who have gone on to achieve success in the coaching field, highlighted by Lawrence Frank, currently the president of basketball operations for the LA Clippers.

And then there are his former players, including his son Pat. Isiah Thomas, Randy Wittman, Glen Grunwald, Dane Fife, Keith Smart and Dan Dakich are all among the former players to make an impact in the basketball profession as coaches or front office executives.

Even now, more than 15 years after Knight finished coaching, eight active Division I head coaches can trace their careers back to him. Here's a look at the ones currently coaching — along with the biggest name on his coaching tree, and perhaps his most interesting coaching connection.
