I hope bob knight goes somewhere where he can get recruits not another dirt hole like lubbock.

I was there live. It happened. He answered the phone and said, "I have no who this is. Let me answer this." It was an older crowd there that day, very pro-knight. His wife was there, his good buddy Bob Hammel from the Bloomington paper. It was 1 pm..and he was sober..just performing for the crowd, who gave him a standing ovation when he entered.

If this had been anyone other than Knight, I would've been really mad, but since it's Knight, it's actually kind of funny.

what the fuck?

[cougarbart]

Is he drunk?

If Bobby Knight had someone disrespect him by talking on a cell phone and making him wait on them, he'd explode but he sure didn't mind insulting that audience; who couldn't laugh hard enough at every syllable he said. What a bunch of bullshit.

That's a lie.

I believe it. John Wooden was/is the most overrated coach in th history of the game. Yeah, he had to do somethings right, but during that era "California was the place to be." Jim Morrison moved to Hollywood and even the hillbilly Clampetts moved to Beverly Hills, both only 15-20 minutes from UCLA. Everyone wanted to experience Southern California. That's part of the reason UCLA got just about whoever they wanted in just about every sport. With basketball things "snowballed."
