How did Knight and Michael Jordan get along? Jeff Turner: Pretty well. Michael was Michael. His intensity certainly matched Coach Knight’s. I don’t remember Coach Knight getting on Michael as much. With the rest of us he didn’t spare anything. I don’t think anybody was immune from him getting on us or singling us out. I’m sure Michael would say Coach Knight got on him a little bit as well. But it really brought us all together because I think that’s part of what Coach Knight did. He was “The General,” right? He united his troops by treating us equally. He didn’t spare anyone. There was no favoritism or anything like that. If we needed to be screamed at, or whatever you want to call it, he didn’t pull any punches. So I think you’re kind of brought together in that sense. That was his style.
