Jackson was tagged as the 'Zen master' half in jest by sportswriters, but the nickname speaks to an important truth—this is a coach who inspired, not goaded; who led by awakening and challenging the better angels of his players' nature, not their egos, fear, or greed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the story of a preacher's kid from North Dakota who grew up to be one of the most innovative leaders of our time.
