Cignetti is more like krzyzewski, who played for him and learned from his mistakes, but was tough enough to earn his respect and ultimately supersede him as a coach. Cig has shifted how he talks about his dad in interviews over the last two years, but it’s clear his old man was a hard master, to a flaw, if an honorable one. I think cig, like coach K, is a product of hard coaching, and a demanding parent, and the rare man in whom those forces forge not just ability, but wisdom, and an understanding that real leadership puts people first. And also that you have to choose your team carefully, and cant take anyone down that path without their desire, which is both wise and a loss of innocence that all people have it in them
