Anyone who ever tried out for a team should derive some satisfaction from tuning in to the show.

A sports tryout is an interesting ritual and Bobby Knight is an interesting character. But like a good basketball team, a riveting reality show doesn't come together overnight.

Almost immediately you can tell it's a kind of fantasy camp for "Sports Center" junkies.
Read Full Review >Hollywood ReporterErik Pedersen
"Knight School"... offers an unusual opportunity to see a coaching legend in his native habitat, but watching him work ultimately leaves a sour aftertaste.

Tyler B gave it a10:
Great show! Knight is the master general.
Sam N gave it a2:
What a waste of my time. I can't believe the scrawny kid won. Dustin was a much better and Arvain was the best of all. Nowonder Texas Tech stinks.
art J gave it a10:
Classic Knight! Dustin could play mid-major hoops and Arvin was a gas. A great watch
Matt M gave it a10:
I really enjoyed watching Knight School. I watched every episode and enjoyed every episode. My favorite episode was the 2nd to last when they went to the weight room and really worked hard. Although Tyler Hoffmeister played very well, I believe that Arvin Zeinali should've won due to his tremendous effort on the court. He was the best player in my mind. I just hope that there is a show similar to this one next year.
Dave S gave it a10:
Guns up General! I hope high school and jr high coaches are watching to learn how it's done--teaching life lessons that is.
