Great coach, horrible tactics.

it the right way. He made it hell.

One of the best basketball minds
coupled with absolutely the worst
teaching methods. Except if you wanted
to produce a Spartan Warrior.

Complete enigma. A tragic Greek figure.
If you like Douglas McArthur or Patton,
he is your man. Basketball is not war.
And if a kid needs a game to teach him
to be a man try the Armed Forces.


Holy sh*t...Patrick...I didn't know you had that language in you.

Cause the guy just frustrated the crud
out of me. He is so good, and so bad.

But the others are right. There are some
slimeball coaches like Harrick, that I would
be less inclined to see a kid with.

i remember when he interviewed for playboy, at one point telling the interviewer to get out of the car. definitely had a tremendously short fuse.

the end doesn't justify the means. i think you can win, and teach men to be men, without all the baggage.

bye bobby. congrats on the 900+ wins. enjoy your retirement.

I'd absolutely send my kid to Knight. Even if he didn't want to go, I might try to make him. This is of course if Coach K is out of the picture.

Why do so many people have
kids that need corporal punishment?
My Dad beat the hell out of me,
he did not need Knight to do it.

Bobby Knight may have done a few wrong things but he sure as hell never beat the hell out of any of his players.

I used to have the actual audio of this practice outburst and it was one of the funniest things I ever heard (edited for DT)

In a 1991 practice at Indiana, Knight lashed out at his team with the following tirade: "You don't wanna play, then I'm getting the f out of here. I mean, if you're not gonna cover Greg Graham; if you're just gonna let him drive by you; if the rest of you are gonna let him catch the ball outside the three second lane and drive all the way in here without one guy challenging him, then I'm leaving and you f'ing guys will run 'til you can't eat supper. Now I'm tired of this ****! I'm sick and fng tired of an 8-10 record! I'm fng tired of losing to Purdue! I'm not here to fk around this week! Now you may be, but I'm not! Now I'm gonna fg guarantee ya, that if we don't play up there Monday night, you aren't gonna believe the next four fcKng days! Now I am not here to get my ass beat on Monday. Now you better fkin' understand that right now. This is absolute fng bullshit! Now I'll fng run your ass right into the ground! I mean I'll fng run you, you'll think last night was a fng picnic! I had to sit around for a fng year with an 8-10 record in this fng league! And I mean you will not put me in that fng position again, or you will goddamn pay for it like you can't fng believe! Now you better get your head out of your ass!"[22]

3 things you can count on from BK. kids go to class, graduate and learn to play basketball the proper way. i don't like the way BK has treated people away from basketball. ask anyone that has played for him and see if you can get any to speak bad of him. same for opposing coaches.

quiet as it's kept coach k is NO freaking saint!
