Timm,
This might amaze you, but I have to say it.
I like Bobby Knight.
I have since I saw him fly fishing with his buddy Jerry McGuinnis on the "Fishin' Hole". Sure, he's got some "anger management" issues. Most people that have a desire to win do.
You might be completely correct that he should retire. The times have changed. There are no longer Vince Lombardi's either.
This "incident" is one of many for Bobby K.
Times have changed. Drive to win hasn't.
