FILE - In this file photo taken March 30, 1987, Indiana's Keith Smart (23) fires a shot past Syracuse's Howard Triche for a basket, putting Indiana ahead by one point in the final seconds of the NCAA Championship game in New Orleans. The one-point lead gave Indiana the victory over Syracuse, 74-73. Now the NBA Golden State Warriors head coach, Smart seriously considered walking away from Indiana well before he hit "The Shot" that won the Hoosiers the 1987 NCAA title and made him famous, unsure he could deal with demanding, fiery coach Bob Knight. Turns out he stuck with it, an old mentor reminded him he wasn't one to quit. Those experiences under Knight's critical eye, along with many others working with various mentors over the years, went a long way in how Smart handles his own players today.
