No Respect

Now that's no way to treat a mentor:

CHICAGO (AP) -- This is one victory Steve Alford won't savor.

Alford got his first win over former coach and mentor Bob Knight with Iowa's 83-53 rout of Texas Tech on Tuesday night, and it was just as strange as Alford imagined it would be.

"Coaches have many, many players, but players only have one college coach," Alford said. "So I'm happy for the team, I'm happy for the players. But it's a little bittersweet for me. I still much more enjoy being on coach Knight's side than going against him."
