I think Newumpire nailed it. People are different, my son and daughter did not like to be yelled at. I responded to the yeller. It's like time out, worked for my daughter only had to do it once for a minute. If my dad would have put me in time out, I would have been like, "Let me get this straight, you're gonna put me in this comfortable chair for 1 minute per my age and I'm not gonna get a spanking, sweet sign me up!"
As far as Bobby Knight, I would have no problem if he was my son's coach, but not sure he would like it. If Knight put a tampon in my locker, me and the guys I played with would have laughed so hard we would have had an aneurysm.

As my WWII Marine veteran father (who also played Big 10 football) said to me when I complained about a high school coach ...

You can be a pussy and quit. Or you can man up and figure out how to deal with it if you truly want to play.

No matter what the coaching style and the era the advice still fits.
