Esmir is my friend... I was there watching him recover. Longar broke four bones in his face and Esmir was out the rest of the season. Longar only got suspended for one game.
Longar is a classy player and a good guy, but even if he wasn't either of those things, they call it men's basketball, not boys basketball. it doesn't matter if you are an OU fan or a Tech fan... if you are a basketball fan you should be disgusted by his suspension for that play
So what was Longar supposed to do? The guy has longer arms than most peoples legs, and he was cornered against the out of bounds line. He tried to swing his arms over his head, but the guy just stood there and took it. He was trying to get in better position to pass or dribble away. Tech fans = the worst in the Big 12
Longar is about the classiest guy. He would never, ever intentionally do that. Tech and the Knights always have to complain when it comes to playing OU. Get over it, you never have to be schooled by Longar ever again! Oh, and Tech played great today.
So, was 911 dispatching a ton of WAHHHHHHHmbulances on the South Plains tonight? Anytime we beat you whiners, it's a good thing.
It was an accident, LL's a good kid, and it was absolutely fucking pathetic how Bob and Pat Knight tried to throw this poor kid under the bus the way they did. At least for Rizvic's sake, I'm glad he was able to come back and play this year.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
are ya'll fucking crazy...that was an obvious cheap shot...not only was that move illegal in the first place he blatantly hit him in the face...go ahead defend your dirty players....WRECK 'EM!!
ya wow what a cheap shot, he caught it and pivoted.... that's it. If a 6'10 center has the ball and pivots with his elbows out (legal) i would stand back cuz i wouldn't wanna get knocked the fuck out. Legal basketball play, quit bitchin whoever you are.
stop being dumb and racist. Longar Longar is a nice guy and it was obvious he wasn't trying to hit him intentionally otherwise a brawl would've started.
I talked to Longar Longar at the Big 12 tournament in OKC. He said thats how they do it in his country. That is what he is explaining to the coaches there.
You Tech fans are a bunch of pussies this shouldn't even have been called a foul. Bob Knight is a bitch and so are every single one of you red raider punk asses. I'm sorry the guy was injured but that's the game fucko!
OU is one of the slimiest programs in sports as are the players it recruits. Longar Longar should've been booted from the league altogether. Toothless Okies.
Ive played with Esmir for the Bosnian youth national team and got to know him really well! He`s one of the coolest guys i know, and he most certainly did not deserve to (intenionally) get hit like that. Esmir himself would never use a cheapshot like this to intentionally hurt someone! If you guys knew him, you would know what im talking about! ESMIRE, TI SI KRALJ! ;-) DAMIR aka SHVABO (European championship group E, summer of 1999 in Maribor, Slovenia)
You have no clue and must have never played competitive sports if you think it wasn't intentional. Thug-Thug catches the inbound pass with his elobws at his side, lifts the ball up and extends his elbows after seeing Esmir in his face, then grits his teeth and swings his elbow at his face.
In the past week a player from Oklahoma State has intentionally headbutted a player, and a Duke player elbowed a UNC guy in the face. They are both suspended for 1 game only. It must be nice to have the Conference commissioner on your over the hill coaches payroll. What has Bobby Knight done in the past three years but bitch about every game he loses?? He is the epitome of "Do as I say, not as I do." O'Reilly sucks ass too.
It's a shame that the tech player got hurt but all of you retarded tech fans out there who are saying longar shouldn't play ever again, or should go to jail, or whatever your has been coach is telling you to say are idiots. It is obvious that you have never taken part in a competitive sport in your life that didn't take place in front of a computer or in your moms basement with you treky friends playing dungeons and dragons. You people need to get a life.
all i got to say is see ya in the ncaa tourny, o wait you guys aren't gonna make... I might switch the channel and watch you guys and longar in the NIT, losing in the first round and thats if you even get into the NIT.
actually tiggles Longar is too soft to elbow a kid. have you watched him play. i think saying he should never be able to play again is just saying your scared of him. as a tech fan i want him to play. and i want our guys to own him on the court. And it is a bad deal but esmir did have his face in him up until that point all night.
that looked kinda clean but earlier in the game longar got it at the top of the key and he swung his elbows in the same manner directly at rizvic, but he managed to move his head back. But rizvic is a clumsy ass Bosnian anyways.
okay... esmir rizvic is a personal friend of mine. i know for a fact that he has five fractured bones and a piece of plastic in his face. they put five screws in there. longar should never be allowed to play ever again. there was no need to elbow him like he did. the ref even saw longar look behind him at esmir so make sure he was there before he swung his elbows. i was at this game. it was intentional and VERY uncalled for. go texas tech && esmir rizvic!
Calling this a cheap shot shows that you have clearly never played basketball.
Hearing Knights' comments are ridiculous considering his chair throwing, kid choking, cry baby history. He still can't let go the loss to OU 2 years ago with the clock problem. Clearly Knight still needs to see a therapist to deal with his anger issue.
i think its bull crap too. im a tech fan and longar did nothing but play basketball. it is really sad and i will miss rizvic. But that is basketball and the big 12 has become soft.
Knight's response was perfectly reaonsable. Longar should never be allowed to play again and he should be going to jail. It doesn't matter how aggressive the defense is, you can't break bones and be allowed to continue playing. OU is just mad because it's clear that thier players are nothing but two bit punks and Tech wins with integrity and class.
raidersred, "Longar should never be allowed to play again and he should be going to jail."
This could be the most ignorant comment i have ever read on youtube. i believe that the technical should have been called but to say the play was malicious from a player that has no prior history of any such behavior is absurd. he recieved his punishment, is serving his punishment, and the whole situation is sad. please only post when you know what your are talking about
Forget YouTube. That is exactly what Bob Knight meant when he said that he didn't know if Longar should be able to play again and that they were talking to their lawyers to see what they could do. Maybe he meant a civil penalty, but still . . . It takes a truly petty person to seriously entertain such an idea, but Tech may have found one.
RE: This could be the most ignorant comment i have ever read on youtube.
REALLY? If true, then this must be your first day on YouTube, because that is NOT even close to being the most ignorant comment. Hell, it's not even Top-1000 for the day. The not allowed to play again & deserves jail is an opinion I don't agree with - but you lose ANY credibility when you make a stupid statement like the "MOST INGNORANT" post. Give me a break!
hahaha. ronnearly, you could be right. after 3 more days on youtube i have read more outrageous comments than raidersred. i can admit when i am wrong. touche.
I think it's time to change your tampon you bleeding loser. You might be the biggest idiot on the face of the earth. You obviously have never participated in a single competive event in your life that didn't take place behind a computer screen or in your moms basement with your other treky friends playing dungeons and dragons, fag-on loser!
Looked like fundamentally sound basketball. The real irony here is that the outrage that is coming from a fanbase that has a child molestor for a head bball coach. TTech fans need to dry their pussy.
It's too bad the guy got hurt, but if you're going to stand right on a big man to force a turnover it's on you to be ready for him to clear you out. They seem to have discerned an intent to harm from the extent of the injury. It may be the video quality, but nothing looks intentional. Far worse plays have amounted to half as much punishment. (Robert Reynolds chokes Jim Sorgi. GMason player punches opponent's groin.) Let's hope he gets better and doesn't miss the rest of the season.
give me a break....LOL, OU is known for dirty players? let's be realistic, elbows like that are part of basketball....Longar shouldn't have even been suspended
What happened when we beat you in football? Whining.
Yall are in NCAA probation in three different sports. (Men's Basketball and Mens/Womens Gymnastics). Yall have committed 3 football violations, 1 basketball violation, 1 volleyball, and 1 track violation fairly recently. Who are the cheaters again?
Longar is a class player. he would never intentionally hurt anybody. should never have been treated the way they treated him after that.
