As he should be. He'll be awesome to listen to.

Money can buy anything or anyone. I always agreed with Knight in that the media is the annoying, ignorant part of any sport...a necessary evil!

Now he is part of that..what a pity. I think less of him today.

 

[VIEJODINOSAUR]

I think Knight will be to basketball as Johnnie Miller is to golf...don't think Knight will pull any punches...

i dont like the man,but the way the media hhas slanted towards big mouth people,he'll be great.

 

[FairWarning]

I hope the coaches treat him the same way he treated the media.

Bob Knight

An absolute class citizen, his kids almost always graduated on time, went to class and understood honor and discipline as taught by the General. Just wish his interactions were a little less public or infrequent but would still love to hear him say as in a classic quote I've forgotten more about this game than you remember, as well as the way he wants to be buried so his critics can kiss his a _ _

i'll admit he's a great coach,but if i had a son that was good enough to play i would not want him to coach my child.he is way to bullish for my style. he does graduate his players, but so did alot of other great coaches.the only coaches i have ever seen who acted like him,were earl bruce,and woody hayes,and we all know what happed to them.my dad has a farm that alot of people ask him if they can hunt,and my dad always says no.its called trespassing,when not given permission its against the law.what alot of people dont understand is you can get hit by a stray bullet.bobby could have hurt someone,but does he care.i dont like bobby,and never will.before anybody says if bobby was at indiana none of the shit that is going down would never have happen,indiana new sampsons past.they could have chosen someone else.
