  • Bob Knight was a great coach. He never had great talent at Indiana U. Isaih Thomas was his only true NBA talent. Still he won 3 NCAA championships. He would have had 5, had not Scott May broken his hand and Alan Henderson not blown out his knee. Still, I am glad that IU did not rename Assembly Hall after him like North Carolina did their arena for Dean Smith. I would rather play for calm and ecouraging John Wooden then irascible and degrading Bob Knight.

  • Nowhere in hell is that considered a pimp slap. It's barely considered a slap in the first place. He was just trying to wake the blockhead up.

  • WTF?! That is a slap? Considering Knights temper that was not a slap. He just trying to get the kids attention so he could tell him to pull his head out of his butt.The kid isn't made of glass he won't break jeeze! A little girl wouldn't think twice about it much less cry.

  • I don't get it? Was Coach Knight wrong for doing this???

  • Gotta keep that pimp strong.

  • shitty music.......

  • reminds me of mr. stencil from chartiers valley

  • ive had this happen to me before. it doesnt hurt. just wakes you up lol

  • Bob Knight and pimp slap in the same sentence = EPIC

  • pussies why find any reason to hate on knight

  • Those bothered by this are most likely raising children that will become part of the 'entitlement generation'. Coach Knight is old school and aside from all of the accolades he has earned as a coach, the most important accomplishment is the development of young men, preparing them for life outside of basketball in an unforgiving and ruthless world.

    Coach Knight is an exceptional man

  • corn flakes

  • OUTSTANDING

  • the only reason this was an issue is the media. the player's parents said they had no issue with it, he had a history of hanging his head. Coach Knight was just telling him to hold his head up. if i had D-1 talent i'd love to be coached by 'The General'. he got the most out of his players, and taught them how to be better men and not just basketball players.

  • Big deal. The player was looking down and showing a lack of respect. That little slap was to say "Look at me when I'm talking to you, punk!" The player is an adult and chose to play basketball for Coach Knight. I'll bet the kid looked Coach Knight in the eye from that point on...and I'll bet he looks his boss in the eye now. It was a teaching moment and Knight did what he had to do to teach the kid a valuable lesson. People are soft these days.

  • Good thing that team didnt have names on their jerseys

  • You think that's bad? I got that from dad a few times when he wanted my attention. He isn't hurt.

  • damn he was rough! yea that's a pimp slap alright, the player didn't hit him back and he got his point across.

  • worst title ever! he tapped him in the face SO WHAT! if this is a pimp slap then i legit get tortured in practice

  • Comment removed

  • wow u have no appreciation for a great coach shit id loved to be coached under him hes legend.. ya hes a asshole up come on hes frustrated... i hope a little pressure doesn't make u upset

  • Looks more like he was slapping under his chin.

    Saying something like hold your head up, don't look at the floor.

    It looked more like a confidence building exercise than a slap.

  • so what, my coach does that to everyone on our team if we are being pussies.

  • thats the way coaching is intended to be, if they arent listenin to you snap em out of it. everyone is so damn sensitive now.

  • I agree fully ... to many emotional softys

  • strongties and tom87pate u 2 ppl are the most childish ppl eva

    iny ways that was no pimp slap

  • lil punk bitch trying to talk shit indirectly stand up and be a man and say it to my face hoe instead of sneakin around actin tuff

  • Talking about who you'll fight and who you'll beat up over youtube is epically stupid. Stop it.

  • bobby took regular guys and made them better.he didnt have many all americans.he knows the game bettter than Coach Cal and that dribble drive bull shit dont win titles

  • Legend still in Indiana baby!!!! needs to come back and be the A>D

  • he aint shit and the hoosiers suck

  • You ain't shit and you suck!!!!

  • i can find out who u are buddy so quit hiding behind that desk

  • Sure thing gangsta! I am shakin.

  • i bet u are give me that address i promise i wont hurt u or ur kidz

  • You are no doubt one of the finest minds of our time!! First, you state that you can find out who I am and then you ask for my address. I quote "i bet u are give me that address." Brilliant!!!!

  • yeah i have checked wit my sources and i find out ur in indiana now tell me the town cuz if u dont u gonna get beat bad buddy

  • My sources tell me your a homo!

  • yeah And ima fcuk u in yo ass lil bitch give me that address so i can come rape ur ass

  • LOL at internet thugs...damn ur a tough sob behind that monitor

  • u lil peep squeak lard ass i will fuck u up,now if u were really tuff u would give me that address and phone number so i can come beat ur fuckin face in

  • hey retard, he hasn't been the coach here for a few years now. and "he ain't shit"? you have just proven your flat out stupidity and ignorance...go f*ck yourself

  • u lil punk bitch jughead i will beat ur ass till u beg me to stop so shut it

  • haha well if you want to you might be able to find out who i am. i'm a 2-time indiana golden gloves @ 165lb and am currently training for the world classic (muay thai competition) so i suggest you shut your mouth. if you tried to beat my ass til i begged you to stop i would slap your ass around like a fucking ragdoll. i feel bad for people like you who need to feel big by threatening people on a youtube blog. you truly are a pathetic individual

  • hahahahahahahahahaha who gives a fuck about sum fake kiddie glov chump,give me ur Address and phone number and lets see how tuff u are lmfao 2x gold glov champ hahahahahahahahahahhahahaha

  • thats not really a hit, its more of a HEY wake up! listen up! People have to quit acting like babys and be men. I do think knight is a little off his ricker tho.

  • I agree with the first part. i dont think it was as much of a "pimp slap" as a "look at me, not the floor"

  • What a jerk.

  • Bobby Knight got lucky when he won. The talent he recruited is the only thing that carried him to victory and he rewarded them with punches, screams and intimidation.

  • Liberal whining maggot

  • @vespertin you must be a young uninformed uneducated person to say that. Bb Knight wins 800+ games on luck.....uuuuuuuuuuummmmmm yeah. Probably the best coach the college game has had.

  • what song is this?

  • And please don't tell me you have to be nasty to win. John Wooden and other coaches were winners. They were decent, rational, humane, understanding human beings. bobby knight is the jozef stalin of sport.

  • bob knight deserves one more thing he never got. a good asskicking. he's always physically or verbally abused persons he could get away with. its a shame that in his prime that one of thousands of men in america who were physically equal or better didn't give him a good boxing or ultimate fighting lesson. all his wins mean nothing. he's a bully. and since he was protected by his fame and having the best basketball program, he was spared what all bullies ultimately get-their assess kicked

  • Its obvious you never player real basketball. Every basketball player I know would give an arm and a leg to play under Bobby Knight. Yea he's loud. And angry. And if he hits you it because you did it right a thousand times in practice and you still fucked it up in a game.

    There is a reason that only John Wooden has a better repute than Knight, and thats because Knight has a bad temper. I'll say this though, more people have become successful in life because of Knight than everyone but Wooden.

  • Knight hit a policeman during the Panamerican games in San Juan. He left the Island and was found guilty in absence, If he ever shows up in that Island, he will do time..The guy is a real A-hole. Fugitive for 30 years now!!!

  • wow everyone flipping out.. look closesly , he didn't slap him he like tipped his chin up cuz the guy wasn't looking straight at him, he was looking at thte ground so night just bumped his chin up its not like u wound up and slapped him.

  • OH JESUS! it's not like he wound up and slapped the kid with an open hand!

  • OMG lawsuit

  • whats the song?

  • They're both men. Nothin there. Walk it off.

    Haven't you guys ever had someone mentoring you who believes in you and knows you can do better? He's waking the guy up and getting his head back in the game. There should be more of this stuff in sport. It builds greater atheletes.

  • Prince, his parents, and Texas Tech Athletic Director Gerald Myers insisted that Knight did nothing wrong and that he merely lifted Prince's chin and told him "Hold your head up and don't worry about mistakes. Just play the game." Prince commented, "He was trying to teach me and I had my head down so he raised my chin up. He was telling me to go out there and don't be afraid to make mistakes. He said I was being too hard on myself

  • Way to quote Wikipedia.

  • bad coaching by a good coach

  • wasn't that much of a slap.

  • thats not a pimp slap , thats a "pay attention to me retard , I'm trying to tell you something" slap

  • Texas Tech sure are a bunch of pussies being slapped around by an old man,way to go Mr.Red Raid-urrrr;go cry in the corner and try to coax your balls from their hiding place.

  • alright i want the name of this song can some1 please tell me the name!

  • The only thing that would make it funnier is a nice puff-o-baby powder before he slaps him.

  • Bobby Knight is and was a foul-temoered dipstick and a disgrace to the State of Indiana. Sure he won lotsa ball games. So did Roberto Algomar before he spit on the umpire. Not to mention throwing chairs and saying "fuck" on TV. Yeah. an Officer and a Gentleman. Not. Fuck Bobby Knight.

  • u suck

  • bob knight is a gangsta,don't be mad cuz he left the indiana LOSERS and you rednecks.He won 3 titles,3 more than any other coach in indiana so shut the fuck up badflameHO!

  • ayy idk who you are but they Indiana HOOSIERS are an amazing organization so be quiet and find something better to do

  • i know they called tha HOOSIER stupid! and indiana is an amazing organization? they didn't make tha tournament,under

    .500 record, and their last coach(Sampson) cheated the NCAA.Oh yeah, they are an amazing organization when BOB KNIGHT WAS COACHING!

  • ur a retard u dont know prob the first thing about basketball and i hate indiana

  • Who gives a shit about being an officer and a gentleman? If you want to be told how to act, join the military. Bobby Knight was a determined, pissed off old bastard and he knew how to get the job done, for the most part. In sports, I'd take the controversial temper-flaring passionate type over the quietly and snobbishly egotistical type any day.

  • i agree with you, but knight was in the military

  • Why is this played so quickly? The tap looks harder than it was.

  • what a classic example of bad leadership.

  • What a classic example of a kid who has no respect for the game. He is being mentored by one of the best coaches ever and he looks away and at the ground. He slapped him to snap him into reality and to listen the fuck up. Go wank off to more liberal faggotry.

  • haha actually he was one of the best college basketball coaches of all time

  • xderekx92 That comment has to be the funniest things i have read in a long time. Thank you for the good laugh

  • Forgot the part that being like this has made him one of the greatest coaches of all time. But who cares about that?

  • can some1 tell me the name of this song

  • ya sure. its "fuck you - by your mom"

  • This boy he "slapped" didn't even think anything of it. Research this online before you comment on it

  • this makes me like Knight even more... some whining liberal pussy would be against the development of boys to men. hey,, there's always soccer for you types.

  • who sings this song?

  • wat is this song?

  • He wasnt slapping him. He hit him on the chin to lift his head back up because he told him dont get down on urself and stop worrying about making mistakes

  • no, he hit him on the chin to get him to look up at him because its rude not to look at someone when theyre speaking to you

  • dude, go watch that whole Sportscenter segment on it, Even the kid said that's what happened.

    No one ever looks at their coach in the eye when they're getting yelled at

  • bob knight would beat your ass ben

  • yes you would ....but son that won't bring your daddy back home! Pussy!!!

  • Obviously your parents never taught you to respect your elders.

  • Maybe if that punk wasn't such a pussy,he could take a slap for being disrespectful to his coach!I would have punched him not tap him on the cheek!!

  • He is the greates college coach EVER!!!!!

  • That's how Knight shakes hands.

  • This was so overblown by the media, if my son broke eye contact with his coach, or boss, or congressman, or preacher, or president when they were speaking to him I'd slap him across his disrespectful face...learn to make eye contact like a man and you wont need your coach to teach you how to act like one...as far as BK style, as long as he follows up good behavior with positive re-enforcement then I have no problem with him going off on bad behavior...

  • i see no problem with that

  • yeah he did say look at me, if the kid didnt wanna get slapped he should have been looking him in the eye...im tired of ppl saying this is wrong, they arent little boys, this is how they learn to be men...they are 18 and over, i think they can handle it...

  • What song is this?

  • I agree with U. Coaches can't get away with that shit in today's game.. I woulda belted his ass. Great coach, but you just can't do that

  • that sucks for that guy but whats the song in the background i like it whats the name and artist?

  • I love Bobby Knight, but I would have so kicked his ass. I would have beat him so bad he would have been at an old folks home.

  • Thats cuz youre a member of the general public and not a player that has the utmost respect for his coach. twas but a love tap.

  • read his lips after the slap. "LOOK AT ME!"

  • he is the best coach he was my coach last year

  • What slap? Christ, I've had chicks' pussies slap me harder in the face than that!

  • owned

  • Kid needs to respect the coach and listen during a time-out called because that kid was a dumbass on the court.

  • and one of the greatest coaches of all time.

  • Bobby Knight = Greatest Coach EVER

  • Fuck you dude greatest coach ever.

  • Hahaha, pimp slap.

  • he wasnt looking at him in the eye. player needed to focus. why does everything have to be p.c. now?

  • If that was me, I'd knocked Couch into next week.

  • LOL

  • Why don't you learn to punctuate your "sentences" correctly? Don't tell me you got your degree from IU. YOU sound poorly educated and immature.

    How was your sports career? Or were you a coach? Neither? That's what I thought.

    Lute Olson, Dean Smith, Don Shula, John Wooden--successful coaches without the personality problems of bully Knight. If you know how to read, research Knight's other acts of bullying and intimidation. Was he teaching a secretary. how to be a woman?

  • If you were the caliber of athlete to make it onto a Bobby Knight coached team, especially Indiana, you would never think of that slap as an insult, just getting his attention.

  • he would of whiped ur ass

  • Where's Latrell Sprewell when you need him? :)

  • that was such a big deal? phil graham is right! were a nation of whiners!!

  • Bobby Knight is quite a jackass, there's no denying that. But you also can't deny that he was one hell of a coach. I'd love to have him coach me, quite frankly.

  • well maybe they would have unfortunately treated better on a slap on the butt cheek instead of the face cheek. sadly it's the truth, but a clear act of motivation is considered worse than a clear act of homosexuality, I guess.

  • That player's lucky to get pimp-slapped by Bob Knight. If he could sell that cheek on eBay he would be a millionaire.

    And yes, I would look Bob Knight straight in the eye. He's won more games than any other coach in men's collegiate basketball history, and no matter what his temper was, he knew how to get every last speck of effort out of his players.

  • exactly

  • Bobby Knight should come pimp slap you critic.

  • Bobby Knight is an amazing coach. When you go to play for him, you know exactly what you are going to get. I agree with mebaran on this one, his coaching style is perfect in that way.

    I would love to play for Bob Knight.

  • This incident was really blown out of proportion. He was just telling the kid to keep his head up and look at him. He barely tapped him. If this was any other coach, it would not have made the news.

  • if i had ever played for knight, i would have made damn sure that i looked him in the eye when he spoke to me.

  • seriously, have some respect

  • His style of coaching is perfect. He makes his players dislike him enough so they don't have enough time to get mad at eachother, but like him enough to respect what he has to say. I would love to see this guy coach a football team though..shit, they'd be the most mentally sound team in the game.

  • hes a coach and yu better not take your eyes off a good ass coach like that..I mean its the things like this that make him so great. I mean real good coaches dont take no shit and you better look strasight in the eyes when he talks to you.

  • The funny part is, the player AND his parents were 100% okay with it.

  • who da fuck r u i don't let anybody come up to me and humiliate me, but maybe you like dat sort of thing and you would of liked if he dick slapped you

  • 1040 dumb shit you couldn't punch your way out of a paper bag. Bobby Knight would crush you like the cockroach you are, punk.

  • MESSAGE TO 1040SEC:Something tells me your black.Are you?Was both your daddy and momma around while you were being "raised".Comments like yours don't add up to much except for the fact that......

  • Something tells me you're a dwarf.

  • whats a dick slap?

  • No you wouldn't have. You'd have stood there like the punk bitch you are.

  • haha lol

  • I agree the kid needs to pay attention and respect his elders, but I still don't think that Knight needed to slaps him to look up, it was just one of those little moments where he looked down and was disappointed with himself, his teammates, or whatever. We've all done that little look down gesture, so Bob Knight really shouldn't have done that.

  • Bobby Knight Rules!! the kid needed to pay attention, to bad political correctness ruins it. Now we have punks everywhere, kids need more discipline.

  • Amen brother, amen.

  • I think if it were me,the university would soon be called TheHighHardOne University.Bobby Knight would be fired and publicly ridiculed in front of the school,with an extra element,handcuffed to a chair with duct tape wrapped on his mouth nice and tight.

  • this is what he said to the player:- Now you listen and you listen good, i dont give a goddamn what happened to you out there. all you gotta do is you go out there and you get me my moneeey....NOW GET!!!

  • LMAO!!

  • Kid needed to look him in the eye when he's talking to him. Plain and simple.

  • he didnt follow through with his shot love ya coach knight  iu86

  • I wouldn't consider this a slap. The motion of a slap usually goes in a horizontal motion. It looks to me that he just popped his chin.

  • poor kid :(

  • thats funny

  • He was just getting his head up. Seriously people!

  • I agree 100% with luke juice

  • Stfu, no u wouldnt have either..he'd a beat the SHIT outta you, THEN kick your ass off the team

  • Wonder if that was Neil Reed

  • i wish.

    reed was, and is, a total joke.

  • All I now is that you do that to me you get knock out in 0 second.......

  • doesnt matter if it was "nothin" he slapped him in the face..cant do that

  • thats nothin

  • you must have been the kid who suffered from coach abuse as a youth. i coach basketball and he and rick marjerus are great coaches. albeit they may do some crazy stuff, i think BK has 900 wins

  • thats cause ur a pussy..cant take a little heat...

  • Yeah that because you are his slut....... So he can slap you around. Was the guy rebellious????????? It just that thing doesn't work out............

  • watch my pimp slap video

  • where was the pimp slap? seriously, we all know the guys got a temper but this is just fishing for something that isn't there.

  • he was liftin up his head

  • Man gotta love "old school"
