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.

Get some respect.... like getting a coach that passes more players than practically anyone else? Or how about a coach who kicks the leading scorer in the big 12 off the team for not doing his homework? You may not like a past action of knight, but he has brought so much respectability to Tech... both educationaly and athletically. And him being "verbally" abusive is laughable at best. 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... AND he was fired for it. He hasn't done much of anything since that would lead me to believe he is "physically" abusive as a coach. |

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

He hasn't done much of anything since that would lead me to believe he is "physically" abusive as a coach. 1) I hate Bill Parcels and the Cowboys so that holds little weight with me. 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(*&@$. Yeah, lets show some respect for the younger viewers at home that are watching and not cuss to cameras. This post has been edited by Jessica: Nov 14 2006, 06:58 PM |
