I believe that Bobby Knight style of leading is meant for real men. Those who want to excel will appreciate his drive and passion to what he does. Who wants to celebrate a loss? Only a loser!!! He was and is a brilliant basketball mind and a disciplinarian leader that didn't worry about public opinion. That is something that we must respect.
I am sure that those who were part of any of his programs were better off at the end than they were before they started. A true leader must be candid.
Reporters tend to ask stupid questions that relate in no way to the mission of using basketball as a vehicle for teaching young people how to be accountable, strong, and tough. Bob Knight's understanding of the game goes way beyond the court. And obviously... way beyond you haters. He is a teacher, and a damn good one.
He's also the worst poor loser in the history of college sports. Its a shame his temper and poor sportsmanship cost him a earlier departure from coaching. Nobody wanted to play for him his last 12 years...he's a bully to everyone around him, coaches and players. An arrogant asshole with no respect for anyone is what he is.
It's ironic that this guy hated dealing with the media & let his almighty ego roll over the reporters, now all of a sudden he is in the media by calling games for ESPN.
Yeah I know why would you want to play for someone who teaches you to respect authority, attend class, graduate, doesn't let you have tattoos, etc. I mean who does this guy think he is teaching his players to be men? We should continue to baby our kids today and maybe they will grow up with backbones huh. I bet none of those former players ever went on to live successful lives and they all hated the fact that Bobby Knight made them men instead of cowards who aren't able to face adversity.
Bob Knight is the greatest coach the game has ever seen. as faulker said, he taught boys to be men. My second cousin played for him in the 80's at indiana. He hated Bob Knight's temper, but respected the lessons he taught. With all due respect, you're wrong.
write reverend dr. jeremy taylor from wisdom university and ask him why he hates God so much he stole the God spoken name ministry of dreams to ruin prophet like reverend antonia vladimirova of dreams, foundation, janetmck, who is janet, mckinght, cluracan who is katie bazor, both like lawrence forman and david shapiro of furcadia, and sistermoonshine13 and her friend utubiaparty1, universalist unitarian minister jeremy taylor Phd has veneral warts and gives you youth from wisdom university
Knight hasn't won 25 games since 1993. Yeah, that's right, 18 F'n years ago. The man is a joke of a coach, and the game passed him by a long time ago. I hope we never hear about again.
First of all, 2008-1993=15, not 18! Second, out of the 42 years he coached, only 4 men who played 4 years for Bobby, didn't graduate. That is over a 98% graduation rate for THE GENERAL!!! No other coach can say that of his/her coaching career. Read up and learn the facts (math included)!!!
Guess what? I expect every coach to have a high graduation rate. That's like saying "I take care of my kids." That's what they're SUPPOSED to do. The guy is still a prick, and a jackass.
As well as we should, but no other coach does say "I take care of my kids" and "I expect/demand that their academics come first". You can think whatever you want about him, but the point is that coaches/teachers get upset and have their moments. Do you, or did you play sports? Did you never have a coach/teacher "go off"? Kids, no matter what age, push your buttons, especially kids today who don't have guidance at home. That's where Bob steps in for his men and gives it to them!
That 98% figure is flawed because it only accounts for those that actually lasted 4 years. It completely ignores the fact that a lot of players left the program to get away from him, I think it would be interesting to see what the actual graduation rate would be if you included those that left the program. I guarantee it wouldn't be 98%, even if you include those that graduated from other schools toward that graduation rate.
wow you guys thinks he is a**, hell knight hates the media just like anyone should(if you in that place), they are all full of sh** always and going for the ratings. he always treats every team he faces with respect, if he got out played or out coached he will tell you, if he got hosed by the refs he will tell you. he will tell you his opinion no matter what, if you dont like it, dont listen to it.
Knight isn't exactly a warm person, but I respect him as a coach. He's accomplished a lot and graduates his players. Granted they're graduating from tech, which isn't exactly ivy league. However, his record speaks for himself.
