It is hard to imagine a world without Coach Knight! Rest in Peace Bobby Knight!
as a kid I lived along coach's row @ West Point. He was a fearsome character, us kids knew not to be exuberant near his house. may God grant him the Peace he gave others. later, Dad would tell stories of him punching lockers
Regardless of how you feel about Bob Knight, he was undoubtedly one of the greatest coaches ever. A great teacher of life as well. I often think of how many lives he helped shape...
If life lessons include bullying, arrogance, parsing praise, being mostly critical and negative, and allowing relationships only on his terms, then Coach Knight is a role model.
@@krugcpa You likely have zero clue as to how the real world works so just go back under the rock from which you came. Probably the co-author of political correctness.
The world needs more coaches and teachers like Bob Knight...RIP
Not sure if it would work today. Living in Denver and seeing couch Prime roll into Boulder with his posse and Louis Vuitton bags one can't help but wonder about how things change and if it is a good thing.
I won’t work today cause society is soft and a bunch of pussies! He was about discipline, Law and ORDER
so true
Lol..Foolish...He mentally and physically abused his players and staff
@@mmoly-cj4bd- Deion and his thug and narcissistic attitude ISN'T good for ANYONE or ANYTHING
In 6th grade I sent a letter to Bobby Knight and several other coaches saying I wanted to play college basketball. Like 1990, height of his fame. As an adult, I'm 5'6", it was not a realistic dream :). But he's the only response I got. And it was less than a month later, I got a letter back. Basketball was the 3rd thing it talked about. Like I'm sure he got tons of this stuff, like all the other coaches I sent letters too. But he's the only one that had clearly thought about it, knew how unlikely it was for anyone to make it as a D1 athlete, and crafted a letter that motivated kids to do well in school, listen to their parents, then practice basketball. Sure, it was a stock letter that was autosigned that went out to many thousands of kids who wrote him. But he actually took the time to think about how to respond to all those letters and send a message the propelled them forward as humans and citizens. As an adult, parent, and youth coach now, that means a lot.
After 6 minutes I can see this will probably be the best interview ever of Bob Knight.
The first 4 mins of this interview is all I needed to see as to why the coach was who is was. Those woman taught him disapline and he was met with concequences in life. Something that has been lacking for decades in this country. Todays world is too soft for the likes of coach Knight. He had his time and Im willing to bet his players all turned out pretty good in life because of him. RIP
He was hard, but he was fair.most mellenials and z'ers are raised soft. So they couldn't handle criticism from coach knight
You are spot on with everything you wrote.
Knight was a great coach of course....but he was also a great douche bag
Coach Knight could never coach now! Too much political correctness!It is not so much a tragedy he passed away, but the fact that such a cerebral mind passed away with dementia
@stevenzimmerman4057 he was 83, he had a good run. But I think coach knight had a tendency to be a little unforgiving and that definitely can run down your health when your not willing to forgive/hold on to stuff that you should have made ammends with
Maybe he did, he was 83. That's a long life
All things considered, America today could massively benefit from a bunch of Bob Knights teaching our boys and young men.
Sorry, real men don’t explode in rage and berate and bully. He never even tried to restrain his rage. Even accounting for a different era, he was out of control. And that is why even at an institution that idolized him he got canned for assaulting his player.
@@crumdoggy First, your vision is wretched. He didn't assault the player. Second, the unfortunate reality is there are no Knights but plenty of weak-minded numpties like yourself to "guide" young people now, with dismal results the consequence.
First, he didn't assault the young man. The video made that clear. Second, all things considered our young men would definitely benefit greatly from more "Knights" teaching them.
As someone born (1970) and raised in Indiana, Coach Knight is the best of all time! There has never been a more plain-spoken man who regrets nothing and stands up for what he believes in. Rest in peace Coach, you deserve it as much as anyone ever has, and thank you!
I am also a born and bred Hoosier from birth, also 1970…….. Well said!
Was sitting in the dentist chair in Lubbock that overlooked a golf course. Had a drill in my mouth and saw some clubs go flying. I starting hitting my dentist on the arm and pointed. He said “ Bob hit another bad shot.
My son was at tech while he coach there. He had a friend that was on the team but really never played. He had not seen the guy in a while and asked him what he was doing. Guy told him he was going to graduate school. My son said I’ll bet that is setting you back. The guy told my son that it was not costing him anything. He said that if they graduated Coach would pay all cost for graduate school.
Legend. There will never be another basketball coach like him. RIP Coach Knight.
Everrrrrrr! AAU/HS/NCAA/NBA! Everrr ! Knight is a LEGEND
We need more Bobby Knights.
FAVORITE COACH OF ALL TIME!!!!
Growing up as a kid in Indianapolis playing basketball every coach I’ve ever had has referenced something from Coach Bob Knight. He was truly a model of Excellence and the fruit of his labor as a coach from his former players speaks of it. RIP Coach
Well-said!!
There will NEVER be another coach quite like Bobby Knight. Not even close.
Rest in Peace Coach.
Living in Florida I became an Indiana basketball fan watching Coach Knight. RIP Coach Knight. Love this interview.
Coach Knight , basketball was never my thing. Nor was discipline. I was accidentally exposed to one of your speeches , unfortunately into my mid-twenties. Instantly, I was an admirer. I thought , what a hard s.o.b. ! I grew up with no male influence that didn't come with a bottle. As expected , I'd followed suit. Something deep inside me said , this is exactly what a mentor is. This was in the mid 80s. I constantly scanned sports pages , magazines , for your name.
I'd gradually applied expectations and self discipline to my unruly lifestyle. I liked being challenged and discipline did just that. Not always successful, I always did learn something about myself.
At 60 now , father of 2 sons ,
I used things I learned from you as a template while raising my own. Today , both will say , " he's a hard ass ".
I was and still am. Though a bit softer approach nowadays.
( these softer generations are just pitiful ). I always taught mine to expect more from themselves than those around them did. Be humble , respectful, and lead by example. So far so good.
Thank you from someone you never knew. Your legacy will inspire countless others who dare to examine where many standards of excellence were born. You had a profound effect on this man and I just wanted to acknowledge you as a true mentor from afar.
I was saddened by your passing and hope your family is at peace as I'm sure you are. Thank you again for being true , real , and tough as a pine knot. R.I.P. 💯
T. S.
Grew up in the 70's-80's in Indpls, IN & I'll always remember being an IU basketball fan. The day's of my youth loving that program.
I absolutely loved this interview. To me, this was Coach Knight from the inside out. I have always loved and respected him. He had a big heart, truly cared about others and stuck to his beliefs. THANK YOU, Coach Knight and family for sharing him with his fans. 🏀❤️🇺🇸❤️🏀
Glad you enjoyed it!
I can't wait to watch this video @@YouthIncSports , thank you for creating this... I've been binge watching Coach Knight videos... was not familiar with him previously... thanks again for making these gems available!!!💎💝
I dont care what anyone says about Bobby Knight, I loved the heck out of the guy. We need some Bobby Knights in this world. All he wanted was 110%. Thats what he gave and expected. Simple as that.
I was from a single parent family. When I look back at my favorite teachers, coaches, scoutmasters and employers I realize it was the life lessons that have stayed with me 50 years later.
I loved this man. He was a players coach. I was fortunate enough to have a few in my lifetime that understood the true role a coach plays. For those that have served in the military, you understand true leadership. That's Coach Knight. You'd literally have given your life to play for this man. A true legend. RIP Coach Knight.
Players coach? Lol...WTF? A lot of his players COULDN'T stand him, because he mentally and abused them
@@BBAKER22 lol WTF are you talking about? Show me the list. Of all the players he coached during his career, I'll guarantee you can't name 10. You jackass.
What a lovely interview and a rich one in meaning - and, as the ‘apple doesn’t fall far from the treee’, Coach K carried it on… from a Dukie… Blessings
As a kid who grew up in the sixties,an as a teen in the seventies,my two favorite coaches I revered,learned,loved,an appreciated through out my life BOBBY KNIGHT AN VINCE LOMBARDI !!
Glad you enjoyed the interview
What an amazing interview MR. Buck. I don’t comment much but listen to your podcasts a lot. I was a huge fan of Bobby Knight
What a great man. The world needs more like him.
Great man? Lol...He mentally and physically ABUSED his players, staff and others...WTF is WRONG with you?
@BBAKER22 I bet his players eventually appreciated what he did.Way too many soft people these days
@@BBAKER22 THANK YOU!!!
It's such a rare moment in life when we could take in the words and advice from an all-time great in their field of expertise. This is one of those rare moments and I thank the video uploader, Audiorama, for presenting this opportunity. After reading "A Season On The Brink" by John Feinstein so, so many years ago now, I thought I had a handle on who Bob Knight was. This hour long interview, expertly done by Joe Buck, embellishes and explains the motivations of Coach Knight in that book. I always found him a fascinating man, a great leader of men. And I find myself in today's world, looking for the next Bob Knight.....to no avail.
I share the same insights that you do from this terrific interview, that Joe Buck was very prepared for and excellent flow!
Washed this again last night on 10Nov2023... noticing today that there's now 37K views of this video of the 2017 interview of Coach Bob Knight. Bravo! Awesome to see the growing interest to learn about the Coach!
I laughed, I teared 😢up, I smiled, I just can’t get enough! Thank you JB and Coach Knight RIP 🪦 BIG MAN
LOVED THIS! I’ve watched it two times straight…. What a story…
Thank you, he truly was one of the greats!
@@YouthIncSports I totally agree, it makes me tear up just posting this.
RIP Bob. You were such a wonderful patient coach who, no matter what, rarely showed any emotion on the hardwood. I was in my car when I heard the bad news, so I had no way to throw a chair across the street, but I certainly wanted to. In all seriousness, college basketball will never be the same coach Knight. You will truly be missed sir.
What? The most emotional impatient man in the history of college basketball.
@@BMG19FUNNYDIEdid you not get the sarcasm?? Smh
He was a POS,oops I forgot you probably a MAGA 😅
A patient Coach?
Geez, wake up
Patient coach--ha, ho, hee, lol!! Sarcasm is putting it lightly!!!!
We loved Coach Knight in Lubbock. He did sooo much for our program and our players. The best Coach Knight story in Lubbock involved our star player, Andre Emmitt. Andre got into some type of dispute with Coach. He told Coach Knight that he was quitting the team. He called his mother and informed her of his decision. Mrs. Emmitt called Coach Knight and said that Andre did not have her permission to quit and that Coach had her permission to punish Andre however he saw fit. Coach told Andre that he had full weekend, starting Friday night to run 50 miles in our arena. Pat Knight was in charge of tracking Andre's progress. By Sunday evening, the 50 miles were completed and Andre was back on the team. Andre learned a great lesson from a legendary Coach. GUNS UP COACH KNIGHT, REST IN PEACE AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME IN LUBBOCK!!!
Fantastic interview, the host was excellent in the way he handled even some of the potentially unpleasant subject matter. Knight was expansive and compelling. Coach Knight was one of the most interesting people to ever walk the earth and one hell of a great basketball coach.
Thank you!
Amen
Joe Buck is the host
I hated that they replaced Joe Buck and they show didn't make 2 seasons
@@harrisongelles685wow really? I had no idea …. jagoff
Great interview. Bob Knight a legend that took no shit from people and helped a lot of people become successful in life.
Thank you coach! I grew up one hour from Bloomington and was fortunate to witness your start at Indiana through your retirement at Texas Tech! You were simply the best!!! And thank you for sending my grandfather a letter of encouragement when he was failing with cancer. RIP coach Knight
That interview with Coach Knight was and always will be the best interview JB did on his show!
Legend. One of the greatest! Thankful I was able to watch his teams play.
Whenever Coach Knight speaks you can guarantee it will be candid
oh for sure!
We miss you Coach. Thank you for an education for your players, and your preparation, and your hard nosed approach. Thank you for keeping IU clean. And for making this native Hoosier a die hard member of #HoosierNation from the age of 4.
Love, Indiana
One of my favorite coaches in college basketball
As a kid who grew up in Indiana in the 70s, I saw him as the model for how to play. He never recruited me (coz I wasn't that good :) but he was such a model for all of us. God rest his soul. Nice work Joe.
My favorite College Basketball Coach was a fearlessly meticulously impeccably prepared Coach
He was one of the greats for sure
RIP Coach Knight. Simply the best.
What a great interview!
He’s the goat of basketball coaches, any level. These soft ass players, and society can’t handle guys like him.
Exactly billy bragg, you tell em. they probably eat marshmallows and cotton candy, knight would have had them eating nails
@@dabneyoffermein595You butt hurt you MeToo warrior? Biden voter, right?
@@dabneyoffermein595Lol,facts!
100 percent fact! Well stated!
He developed young adults into grown men. I mean to emphasize that education is the most important thing you do at a university was doing things the right way. Well i don't think a angel reese could play for bobby knight. It is not about me it is the team.
Great interview! Great Respect for a True Legend!
A true legend indeed
As a sports fan who was aware of Mr. Knight but not enough to take sides, I want to congrats Joe Buck for being prepared for a terrific flow of an interview that for me and others on the fence, made a lastly tribute to now being 100% pro Mr. Knight!
The best interview, yet that captured the essence of this great teacher. I would argue an othercentric person.
Thank you for watching
I love how they play clips from Bob Knight’s past. Almost has a “This Was Your Life” feel. RIP Bob Knight.
I’m from Kentucky I miss Bob Knight .
How every time when Coach COULD have blown his own horn, he always deflected that praise onto his players, just gives me chills. The man ALWAYS did this!!!! And Kudos to Buck this interview was fantastic, BUT first and foremost it was FAIR!! No gotcha, Jeremy Schaap (Craap), ESPN bullshit questions.
Spot on with how I felt this interview went. Great stuff
Bull$hit... he always took as much praise as he could and tooted his own horn his whole life.
Great interview! I am a Buckeye & was always curious of Bob's upbringing.
Great interview, Joe!
Growing up just thirty-five miles east from Orrville, Ohio I had the chance to live the life he mentioned in this interview from 1965 until 1985 and I am better for it. You were taught the values of hard work, discipline, NEVER giving less than 100% in anything you do, along with knowing you'd be held accountable for yourself in ALL aspects of life. Respect for elders, teachers and people in authority. These things have slowly eroded and have been forgotten by a VAST amount of people, as the years have passed to where people have to now accept people being mediocre and settling for people being "just average". I also had the privilege of meeting Coach Knight where I am living now in Las Vegas, and I can tell you from experience he was VERY loyal to the people he knew.
Bob Knight represents what made America GREAT at one time, AND what is missing virtually entirely in American today... strong men teaching younger men how to be strong men. As a result, we have the country in the state that it's currently in. RIP Coach.
just an AWESOME MAN & PERSON !!!!!
Thanks Joe for simply showing the best ever. Going to miss Coach.
No doubt!
Great coach! Great teacher about life too!
We agree!
Cheering and tears of joy for me 🤧
Fantastic
Love bob knight!!! You know who he is and what he all about! I played for a great man just like him!!
One of the greats
the great coach of all time
Thanks, Joe, for letting us relive that awesome interview! Coach is a man like no other!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Excellent
Coach Knight was the best ever. If not the best, the equal to Wooden, Dean Smith and everyone else.
Great interview
Well done!!!!!
He was a legend of the game for sure
A Great Man there will never be another like him!!
Congrats! 229K views in 3 months. Coach Knight is amazingly inspiring!
I love Coach Bobby Knight
He was the BEST. Went to a few of his coaching clinics...Unreal and so good...
If you played basketball in middle or high school in the 80s, there is a good chance your Coach, coached like Mr
Knight. Thank you Coach Brown.
I played high school ball in Minnesota in the late 80s, and sometimes I hated my coach, who was tough and at times very critical, but now I appreciate what he taught me about basketball and life. Thanks, Coach Thomforde.
Rest in peace coach.
Great story teller
Thanks for listening
He can be tough, but he was a real man, terrific teacher, and coach.
He wiped his arse and showed his team the tp. GREAT "teacher!"
its an opinion --im allowed to have it. My ex played for him and loved him. Sorry Mr. touchy feely sissy@@uncletony6210
@@uncletony6210yeah when I heard that I puked a bit in my mouth.
Nasty 🤮
@@uncletony6210oh piss off! Man was a TRUE LEGEND AND LEADER! I would of been so lucky to of been taught by a man of his stature
@@CIF-pm7tk Yeah, he probably would HAVE taught you that "would OF" and
to OF" are piss-poor English and don't make sense. So, there you go...
We need some Bob Knights and Herb Brooks in coaching again
Coach Knight is definitely in my top 3 college basketball coaches of all time.. I'm a UNC fan so of course I'm going to pick Dean Smith and Roy Williams for 1 & 2.. However the respect I have for this man is beyond belief.. It's the determination, teaching, drive, grit, and most of all a guide to see kids get there degrees & succeed... You sir are what coaching is all about and you're deeply missed... Thank you for the fire you put under those kids and all the excitement you brought to each & every game I seen you coach... 🙏🏻🤘🏻
I’m a devout Kentucky basketball fan. I have the utmost respect for coach Bobby Knight… 🏀🇺🇸🌤️
Lol...Why do you respect a guy who physically and mentally abused people? WTF is WRONG with you?
I've been a Kentucky basketball fan since I started paying attention to NCAA basketball and I can say I have no respect for Bobby Knight. He was a bully and he knew it. My example is December 1974 against Kentucky when he smacked Joe B Hall on the back of the head. I don't care what he said saying "I didn't mean it", he's an asshole and Kentucky got theirs in the National Semi-Final knocking off Indiana. I'll never respect Knight despite his players' high graduation rate (They put the work in to graduate, not Knight) his coaching accomplishments, etc. I simply said "Good" when I read he had died
This is really wonderful. Being from Indiana, I have always thought he was the greatest.
That 1984 Team USA Deserves a Full Documentary 😊
One hell of COACH!!! RIP COACH KNIGHT!!!
Love Bobby Knight,,,,,It would be an honor to play for him
That was great. I've always like Bobby. RIP Mr. Knight.
This is a really good interview. Rip coach knight.
Last of a dying breed.
Love listening to Bob Knight. The obsequiousness of Joe Buck is a different matter.
One hell of genuine guy. Great job Joe 👍
Where has this interview been? Fantastic. This is the only time I’ve heard him talk about his parents. He must have respected Joe Buck.
Southern indiana adored this man theres several business that is basically a shrine to bob he is misunderstood by alot of people but say what you want but he was a smart man basketball wise anyway he made new defense and offense for that matter while out in the woods hunting
Wow, noticing that this video got 10K views yesterday and now today is 24K views!!! Awesome job!!!
Those days are gone forever! RIP Legend
One of the reasons I became an IU fan was because of Bob Knight. He made his players go to class and had a squeaky clean program. Granted, he came with baggage, but a kid going to play for coach knew what he was getting in to. Coach had a dislike for the media, and I understood why. They printed all of the negatives, but ask his former players about what he did for them. Landon Turner said that Knight was the first face he saw after he was hospitalized after his accident. Indiana was very fortunate to have had him for as long as they did. IU will never be the same. Rest In Peace coach.
A true coach of basketball and teacher in life to his players. Almost all of his haters weren't the players or parents of the players he coached. Isiah has said how grateful he was that Knight had the courage to coach him hard and not try to be his friend like most coaches now do..
Very well said!
The best ever!!!
Word !
RIP Coach Knight. You influenced me to be a better player and a better man.
Great interview. Priorities in the right place--get a degree; show up to class. RIP Coach
Gotta tell you, this video softens my view of Coach Knight and I'm glad for that. And it needed softening because he was a tough SOB to have anything good to say about him, no?
I always told my understudies, "THE WILLINESS TO PREPARE TO WIN IS GREATER THEN THE WILL TO WIN." You win the game on the practice field.
Go Hoosiers!! 🏀💯
