@@JimCastleberry who did he abuse? He was from a different time. When people weren't so easily offended. When men raised their sons to become men, and not soft sissy boys like today. I can understand how those boys are offended.
Do you learn to sprinkle four letter words in every sentence you utter? Or blasphemies? Hope not His basketball genius is only overshadowed by his inability to be kind
Colin O'Dell I’ve always said that Bob Knight was a great Basketball Coach. You don’t need to be a good human being to be a good coach. I mean it took Bob Knight all of two minutes after walking onto Assembly Halls floor to show his true colors, arm wrestling with Dick Vitale over attempting to hug Knight. Dementia or not that is who he’s always been. A terribly angry man who happens to be a good coach.
Bob Knight is a legend and yes he does remind me of my time in the Corps, taking some and giving alot. Most people cant handle this sht, its too hard on their feelings. BTW, Fk is just to add some flavor to it 😁, cld be a verb or an adjective. SF
@@johnpeterson9266 I don’t agree but who cares. Many old school straight up men who will speak their mind regardless of size. The whole size thing is rediculous. Not everyone is scared of people bigger then them
@@gporr7004you don't have to be that meanspirited to be tough and to speak your mind. He was a bully. A great basketball mind, but in the end the rest of it proved to be his undoing.
@@TheBobbybbc Spcoety needs someone like him now. We need more strong willed people like him. Not a bully. He spoke his mind when he believed strongly in something. Nowadays that’s called a bully because people are weak and easily offended. That’s why society is weak there is no one to shake people up and tell them the truth.
@@TheBobbybbc Same thing discipline children. They need to be disciplined and scared sometimes or they will shit all over you. Parents can’t even discipline their kids right they’re so weak and scared.
I had forgotten how shocking his verbiage could be! It isn't necessary to sprinkle one's conversations with obscenities in order to motivate. Knight made the remark that if he had chosen another profession it would be a Christian pastor. I can only imagine the hellfire and brimstone messages he would have preached! /God bless his little heart.\
Oh bs if he was on letterman and the morning show on cbs with gale king.. or another network show he was a pussyfooting.. but the average people.. like local news.. let’s fucking man handled them.. bs i would have shit on the floor and walked out! Lol
America needs more overrated bullies that didn’t have the guts to step to adults? Easy to bully people they can’t fight back. There’s a reason why he. Ever seriously considered the NBA. Imagine him coming at Kareem or Charles Oakley with that crap.
I had a dad like bob knight same height, same build, same disposition. He didn’t go out of his way to be mean to ppl like knight did but he could be be even worse. School board meetings, town meetings. Try bringing a bad report card home! LoL we use to joke he was separated at birth from bob knight and Mike ditka… but no father loved his family more he was a great dad… tough but great lol
My Dad once attended an Ohio State game and sat very close to the OSU bench. Had an OSU assistant come up to him and say “welcome home coach”…that’s how much my Dad looks like him 🤣
I was seven and wrote a letter to the Indy Star defending Coach Knight. They took a photo of it and put it on the front page of the Sports Section. RIP Coach. Love you!
He was a jackass and a bully plain and simple. He wanted everyone around him to have to be held to high standards that he refused to hold himself to. He never took responsibility when he did something that was out of line- it was always someone else’s fault. He was a jerk plain and simple
This makes Nick Saban's angriest encounters with the media make him look like Mister Rogers. If you want to know why "once in a while" you can read Coach K's lips and its very salty. Then you know where he got that language from........guess who?
You know it's a shame that people talk s*** about him being too hard being an a****** but this man has created more successful people that came from this program I'd like to see how many of his athletes are not successful or a homeless I'll wait
Everyone who played for coach Knight sooner or later hit the brick wall and asked "Is this worth it?". He wasn't a lot of peoples cup.of tea, and he knew it. But if you completed your time under him, he would be there to help in any way he could down the road. Tough love, yes, but he loved his boys.
You know, during the clip where Bob Knight had that glass of lemonade on that podium stand, I was so waiting for it to spill and fall…and for Bobby to lose his temper over it (obviously!). Now THAT would’ve been a funny sight!
A great coach, no question. A witty, funny guy, no doubt. But he could also be a bully. But that being said, he is a coach I would have LOVED to play for! But if I was a reporter, I would have HATED to cover him!😱🤣
Over the years, Knight did many good things for others, far more often than not unknown to the public. A friend of his once said he knew he was an asshole, and spends as much time as he can making up for it.
+Dylan Hills true. his team had to be able to read, write, and speak literate. The each had to maintain an A or B average and if caught cheating they were off the team. a top class Coach.
You must have been asleep or cut class or played hoodie. Coach Knight was very stringent on his guidelines. He set new goals for his team, making certain his team was only athletes, he wanted them to be successful, drug free, honest, trustworthy, and educated athletes. When he made and kept those rules, other coaches began making certain their athletes could at the very least, maintain a c- average (which is why he had so many wins.)
He is brutally honest and blunt does not sugar code anything. He likes to win no matter what. His teams never cheated and they won games. He basically does not like stupid people who ask dumb ass questions. Also he gets pissed off when he looses.
He doesn't "sugar COAT" anything. He is a moron and I grew up watching him on TV all the time. He would get questions that called into question mistakes he made and he would become a jerk. He got what he deserved... booted from IU... and no final glory run.
You bring up an important point. During his time coaching, there was never any whispers of any cheating going on - he made sure of that. When he came to Indiana im 1971, the school had a long standing problem with boosters who had gotten the school into problems with the NCAA over the years(at one point a 5 year probation on all sports in 1960). Knight heard stories of this when he was playing for Ohio State. When he came to Indiana, one by one, with the schools blessing, he talked to the main boosters involved and made it clear his views and how he didn't want them affecting his program. He got all of them to back off.
John Feinstein said that Knight wasn’t just a basketball genius but would’ve been a genius at just about anything he put his mind to. He said he’s spent time with politicians, world leaders, coaches, teachers, professors, etc., and that Knight had one of the most brilliant minds he’s ever encountered period.
@@jamesb.9472 Umm, he is. Listen how he speaks. Listen to his mentality amd how he makes these scum journos look stupid. Very smart man. East to get angry when you're surrounded by a bunch of imbeciles spreading fake news.
@@milesmccoy2976 and you believe that? He was a great coach that demanded and had the respect of his players in his time, but he was not a genius. He was just a smart ass, know it all hot head to a degree.
The first clip in this video is something I’ve seen many times as a fan of Indiana growing up. To a casual observer Knight is coming off like an asshole but that’s because they don’t understand Knight. You see, Knight is already thinking about the next game and opponent but the reporter wants to talk about IU’s 51 point blowout victory and he wanted to imply that home court is advantageous because when Indiana played at Northwestern earlier in the season they barely squeaked out a victory. Knight, knowing his players will see the interview and read the paper, did not want them gloating in their 51 point win and at the same time did not want the seed planted into their minds that home court gives them an advantage. You see, ultimately, Knight is looking out for his kids. He doesn’t want them thinking they’re better than they actually are just because they beat a team by 51 points. That game is over and means nothing in light of the next opponent we have to face. Also, home court is not advantageous because we can beat any team home or away just the same if we play to our potential and prepare accordingly. Knight is TEACHING HERE. Always the teacher.
He went out the way to swear so much. He did it on purpose for sure. I have been a Knight fan for years because of the results on the floor and how his players were successful after leaving he program. But his language and actions were a challenge for someone to fire him. He had to go and he created that situation with a thought out effort, this I have no doubt.
I can sit and watch Knight destroy the media 24/7.. Its superb
