Is it just me or is this whole thing blown completely out of proportion? It was obviously a "look at me when I'm talking to you" type thing and yet because it's Knight they have to make a big deal out of it.

bob knight is going to be under the microscope this season because of the all-time win record. we're going to be getting a ton of publicity, so he can do whatever the hell he wants.

Apparently when prince's parents were asked about it they said they had no problem and neither did michael. it was actually more of an encouragement than anything. knight was tryin to tell him to get his head up bc they needed him in the game.

Its being blown out of proportion because of Knight's past aggressive actions. When will Tech get some self respect and fire him? Yeah, he has wins under his belt, but Tech sacrifices dignity in the process. Its like saying "We suck so badly that we have to continue to have a coach who is verbally and physically abusive in order to win." The day that Tech gets rid of the shitty coach Leach and the overrated coach Knight might be the day that I gain some respect for Tech.

Coaches all across the country coach the same way (parcels, MOST highschool football coaches, etc.) So YES he once physically touched a player in a way that crossed the line...

i dont think leach or knight has brought any bad publicity to tech. i think they bring a whole lot more positives and a few little incidents here and there dont even matter at that point. but i dont think this is an incident at all. like its been said hes getting nothing but support

Also the "well everyone else does it" arguement doesn't hold any weight with me at all. 2) The ONLY thing I have ever liked about Knight was that he encouraged academic performance. Basically, he follows the rules and then goes a little over and beyond them... something that any coach should do in order to secure that their team won't have problems with NCAA rules and ineligibility. 3) I can think of incidents off the court and out of the arena since Knight has coached for Tech that he has been extremely inappropriate. 4) Someone find that ESPN video "Top 10 greatest Bob Knight Moments" or whatever its called where each one is @(*$&^( #$&^(#$ #$&*^(#^$ #$*&(^@($^( after #*$&^(@ #$(^(@&$ #($*( after #$Y(*&@$.

I didnt initiate that. Just because I have an opposing viewpoint does not mean that I instigated it. Somebody felt the thread was starting to get off topic so they split it... Reason number 4 billion why I think splitting threads is stupid.
If Bob Knight was such an outstanding member of society, there wouldn't be so much controversy over him and his actions. |

In my mind he did nothing wrong and has not done anything wrong while at Tech. The incident with the chancellor was blown out of proportion as well. We are human, we get in arguments. He's a coach and as such deserves the attention and respect of his players.

It's him, plain and simple. He is rough and sometimes he screws up but you know what, he wins.

So i believe i was talking of HIS CAREER. LOL Will talking about how bobby knight is not a good coach because of his past actions, and then telling me that i couldn't use the same past performance as him being a good coach... funny. |

I think the media is giving this way too much attention. Should he have done that? Probably not, just because of the history. If it were any coach other than Knight, it wouldn't get nearly the media attention. I've been to several college workouts for some big name men and women's basketball programs and I've seen much worse.
I agree with Cathryn though, this is nothing compared to high school days. |

Roy Williams shoved a player last year, Kelvin Sampson struck one of his players in the leg a couple of years ago in Lubbock, Lou Holtz grabbed one of his players by the facemask and practically drug him to the sidelines, etc. Am I defending what Bob Knight did while at Indiana? Grabbing a player by the throat or the unwanted physical contact with a student? No, absolutely not. But this incident has been completely blown out of proportion by ESPN; it seemed like the clip was replayed every five minutes this afternoon. |

Roy Williams grabbed a player in the NCAA tournament last year when he wasn't getting back on defense. Lou Holtz has been shown grabbing a player by his helmet. If you are gonna be mad at Knight then thats fine but make sure you hold these other acts to the same standard if you want to sound like you aren't a Bob Knight troll.
and heres a good article on the situation from Dan Wetzel, its worth reading the whole thing. http://sports.yahoo.com/ncaab/news?slug=dw...o&type=lgns |

I'm not saying Texas Tech is going to win a national championship in hoops any time soon (or, for that matter, ever) but Bob Knight just signed three of the top 15 high school players in Texas in John Roberson, Mike Singletary and D'Walyn Roberts. His 2006 class was heavy on junior college players (Charles Burgess, Esmir Rizvic, Rogdrick Craig, etc.) and will be the core of this squad for the next couple of years but it's clear that the 2007 group is the future.

If I like Austin, I may end up going to UT for a PhD. 1) I dont mean to post from his account. I post before I realized Im logged in as him. We are sharing a computer. 2) Nursing. I hate UT's campus. Its buttfucked in traffic in the middle of downtown. You will like Austin though. Its a cool city... much different than the rest of Texas. |

Yeah, Austin rules. It is a lot better then this dusty piece of shit...
-------------------- A psychotic world we live in. The madmen are in power. How long have we known this? Faced this? And--how many of us do know it? Perhaps if you know you are insane then you are not insane. Or you are becoming sane, finally. Waking up. I suppose only a few are aware of all this. Isolated persons here and there. But the broad masses... what do they think? All these hundreds of thousands in this city, here. Do they imagine that they live in a sane world? Or do they guess, glimpse, the truth...?

anyone see SNL this week? they had bob knight as the weekend update coach, and he hit seth meyers on the chin and then threw a basketball at him.
it was funny, but i think that a lot of the people in the audience didn't understand what it was in reference to. |
