He had some really nice things to say about Jeff Capel during in interview with his rivals guy yesterday.
Basically said Jeff is a great coach and wont have much trouble adjusting without Blake Griffin, and that OU will just become more guard oriented with Willie. Mentioned that he thinks OU has really good players, and that Jeff wont have any trouble at all from a coaching standpoint.
Also talked about the Big 12 a little bit, saying he knew it would be a tremendous challenge for him as a coach and he knew he could have gone the easier route of taking a job at a smaller school and working his way up. He said he thinks his team can score with anybody and they are going to spend all their time up to the the beginning of the season working on defense and rebounding, starting with the basics. He said he felt a lot of pressure taking over for his dad and put all of their focus on scoring and not on defense.
Hard not to like Pat Knight, I hope he wins this year.
