Man this was a very well written thread, that was great to wake up to while drinking my coffee. You make a ton of great points that I never thought of. Thank you and hope to see you around more.
Edit: After sitting and thinking for a little longer, you just don't realize the connections that a coach has to make to win the fans and players over. I do not really see that the players dislike Woody, different from Archie. I think Woody is also a coach players can really come to like, and he seems like he would really take care of his players, but as far as fans and community outreach I have not heard that. Knight did a lot of things under the radar (for the good) without anyone ever knowing until later years.
