Love the line "I'm sickin F*#@ing tired of loosing to PURDUE. I remember the chair toss well. Happened against my Boilers. My son who was 5 at the time asked "Daddy what's wrong with that man?" My answer was "He's a moron." All the IU fans in this area say you got to respect what he has done. Maybe , but how about doing it with a little class.

You know the thing about Knight though is deep down I have a love for the man and what he did over the years winning titles and making IU a school to be proud of.
I will give him that.
But at some point that old school mentality that he was brought up under gave way to Coachs that did not yell and scream at you to get the best out of the players.
At some point he had to look at himself and say wait a minute here what am I doing ?
But he never did.
And then you have 5 year olds watching and asking Daddy what is wrong with that man ?
Something has to give somewhere.

Has the military changed their training methods of breaking you down and building you up?? No, so why should he. It obviously works. Noone knows more about the game for sure but I agree he puts his foot in his mouth alot. Hell I do to so I can relate. He is however an old school coach that I respect and love. Plus on more than one occasion he has touched my life and my familys life personally so I will forever defend him for that.
OK
For one last bump I will find something good to say about
Coach Knight. Then it will be done.
Let me go look for a redeaming thing, a quality, a act of kindness.

It sounds like a conspiracy.

Agent 999
Thats what I thought Agent 001
I am awaiting my orders sir.
Is there any secret mission in particular that you need attending to ?
I am good at that. Not proud of it, but you know what I mean.

One of the most illuminating anecdotes about Bobby Knight concerns Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski, Knight's former assistant at West Point. For many years, Coach K wanted to separate himself from Knight in the public perception. He wanted out from under Knight's considerable shadow and wanted distance from his outlandish antics, which in the past decade have outstripped his basketball achievements. But when Mike Krzyzewski was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame, he asked his former mentor to introduce him; at the capping of his career, he wanted Knight front and center.
That says it all about Bobby Knight. He's a complicated and controversial guy. But most of the people who know him see much more good than bad. And Knight's book gives you a better sense of why that is more than any videotape of a chair skidding across a gym floor ever could.

I think 001 may have put something in my soup.
All I can post are good things about Bobby Knight.
And I cannot stop.

From AudioFile
Like George Patton, another great leader of men, Bobby Knight has suffered for his passion, perfectionism, and theatricality. Knight was basketball coach at the University of Indiana for 29 years, until he was fired in 2000. Part apologia, part "J'accuse!"--this memoir is short on literary merit, but long on personal history and mischievous humor. In one episode Knight invents Ivan Renko, an East European basketball recruit, in order to expose the dishonesty of sportswriters. Said writers live up to Knight's expectation by weighing in on the skills of this particular phantasm. Robert Silver's swarthy, middle-aged voice perfectly evokes Knight's blunt low-rent style. The ladies of the Teacup Society may "tsk!", but this reader admires the honesty and hardscrabble compassion of this true original. J.W. ? AudioFile 2004, Portland, Maine-- Copyright ?

Bob Knight has shown time and again that he is the most well-known coach in college basketball:
? He has won over 700 games (618 with Indiana University)
? He has been National Coach of the Year four times
? He coached ten Big Ten MVPs
? He is the only coach who can boast an NCAA Championship, NIT Title, the Pan American Gold, and the Olympic gold medal
? He was inducted into the National Basketball Hall of Fame in 1991
? He graduated 98% of his players
? He maintains a remarkable .737 winning record
