Will The General reach 825 today?

TheGeneral+ · Jan 24, 2004

In a dogfight with A&M right now. Coach has 824 wins and a 15-2 record going in. Big Monday night Game vs Texas. What a turnaround for TT win or lose today. Possibly Coach of Year and Player of Year.

Quite simply the greatest college basketball coach of all-time.

Incidentally, he's also sitting at 824 chokes ...

that puts him one behind Latrell Spreewell all-time.

GL crazy coach

Lander, Coach was just trying to help that kid. Neil Reid should have took up basket weaving instead of basketball.

lander · Jan 25, 2004

and was he helping the janitor when he threw that chair?

TheGeneral+ · Jan 25, 2004

As the story goes, there was an elderly lady on the other side the court who needed a seat.

So General,

is it OK if I choke my wife today or how about my mom ? Is it OK if I choke a stranger on the street tonight so long as I say I was only trying to help? Is it OK for a college professor to choke his students in the classroom ?

Assault is assault no matter who the victim is. He had no right to choke Reid or any of the other hundred players he touched. He had no right to get verbally abusive with an old woman in Donniger's office. He had no right to get so angry as to through a chair on national television. He was representing IU and had a duty to be professional. It is amazing how people justify Knight's ridiculous actions.

If any other representative of IU did half what Knight did they would be fired in an instance.

I think all of us seen the tape and it was not a choke, it was a grab, just like one would grab a shoulder.

Like I said, maybe the kid, whom by the way, our Govt considered a man, should have taken up ice skating or dancing.

My favorite 'Knight moment"

The time he leaned into the player on the bench (headbutting him into next week!)

The guy looked like he wanted to get up and drill him but thought better of it,lol..I'll never forget the look on his face...

TheGeneral+ · Jan 25, 2004

That was an optical illusion. The player actually moved forward and it did appear Coach made the contact, but in reality it was an accident created by the player.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Pete Rose is in church as we speak, passing out brownies too!

One of my fondest memories was when Teddy Valentine gave Knight the boot and Knight left the court taking the long route to walk/brush the side of valentine. Later being asked why he went off the court in that direction, Knight said there was a pay phone in that hallway and he wanted to call the Big Ten Ref President or some high ranking official about the matter.

The guy can coach basketball. That does not give him a free shot at being an asshole jerk. I can't believe one of those kids hasn't whipped his ass.

I have much respect for his victories. I have no respect for the "man."

VVV

TheGeneral+ · Jan 25, 2004

Lots of people will say that VVV and it's understandable, but 95%+ of the players having played under coach Knight will tell you they have tremendous respect for The Coach.
