Bobby Knight or Dean Smith........what do you think?

I am curious. There is a big deal being made about Bobby Knight passing Dean Smith for the leader in all time wins in Division IAcollegebasketball. An impressive accomplishment to say the very least. But, when I look at the two, I have to ask, is he actually a better coach? Knight has one more national championship and is about to pass him in wins, but had to coach for almost six extra seasons to do it. When I compare the two, Dean Smith was always able to get better players who in turn enjoyed successful careers at the highest level and Smith acheived a majority of those wins in the ACC which is historically the toughest basketball conference in the country. Look at their players. Knight can offer up Isiah Thomas opposed to Dean Smith's Michael Jordan, James Worthy, Brad Dougherty, Sam Perkins and the list goes on.....what do you guys think? Who is better and why?

I think that your last point at how Dean brought in talent that lasted through the nba and all the rest of the people you pointed out and how he had fewer years to accomplish it. Who knows maybe for the 6 more years Bobby coached maybe Dean Smith could have won 6 more national championships you never know and we will never find out.
