Even though they lost a total of 239 games they still had a .735 winning percentage. Even though "The General" was tough he did a good job of coaching. As he always said "The will to succeed is important , but what's more important is the will to prepare"-Bob Knight.
Basketball is a sport loved by many Americans for many years. The NCAA Tournament started in 1939 and since 2011 there are 68 teams. It is a single elimination game played each spring in the United States. This was the idea of the Ohio State University coach Harold Olsen and the idea of March Madness was created by Bob Walsh of the Seattle Organizing Committee in 1984.
