"Human nature is the toughest opponent we have to fight." This man got it. And the results speak for themselves.
As a guy from Indiana who was a kid in the 80’s I want to thank Coach Knight for bringing my Family together every winter to watch IU Basketball. He had so many great teams and was such a larger than life man.
Those were the days.
I was an IU student and worked for the Athletics Department at Indiana University in the 80s. Coach Knight was a great motivator, and with the lessons of life he taught us, inspired me to become the man that I am today: Successful husband of over 28 years, father of 4 great kids, and a successful business owner-dentist for the last 33 years.
Thank you Coach.
He put Indiana basketball on the map. So many kids bounced basketballs in Indiana because of this guy. He was an inspiration.
As always we appreciate people more after they’re gone.
Heaven just got waaaay intense with Bob knight up there
He demanded players work together, be responsible off the court and follow directions he gave. Coach knight never wanted to say what if after a loss. As long as you prepared and gave it your all. Most people now a days get in their own way of success. He was leading success. RIP Coach.
My parents both passed away last year. They were both BIG IU fans and loved Bob Knight. They would watch their games faithfully and even went to a few games.
What does that say about your parents .,very little .. cos if weee they decent parents they would not turn a blind eye to a bully .. winning is only part of sports ..been a great coach Is on and the court ..bobby fail on many grounds
Coach's job was to coach and win, not to be a nice guy and tell them kids lies, and win participation trophies
@@pistolpetenakiFor your information I had very good, morale parents. This is a game, not real life. Get a grip.
A game .. do you live in the 1920s . Sports is more than just a game .. helpooooo . College basketball is more than game Shirley ..sounds like you just turn a blind eye to a horrible man. The guy try to choke one of his players ..he had issues Shirley ..I suggest you need to look John wooden then compare his foundations to bobby knight .. @@shirleys765
I've been a fan of Coach Knight since I was 6 years old. RIP Coach. Thank you for the lifetime of memories.
Yes I’m sure the people he bully would not agree with you or the person he try to choke ..it’s easy to turn a blind eye .,that what most Americans do with people like bobby knight
Coach was great, and even though most those folks that don't understand the first lick about anything think of him as some monster or tyrant, he made sure each player's was a student foremost, made certain each kid kept his grades up and got an education that would be there after playing basketball was done and gone, you know, back in the day when a person had to actually work to get somewhere in life, one didn't expect to get everything handed to them, the smarts to get up off the floor and seize life, because back then Pro Basketball was different, tougher, and not every good player got a million dollar contract, life went on. Heck yeah....Coach was Tops!
The difference between a genius and a madman is success
Thank you Bobby! You are the BEST. You will be missed but never forgotten. I cherish the basketball that you signed for me back in 1997 when my daughter attended IU! GO BIG RED!
Coach Knight and coach parcels coached together, I love both of them, that's how it should be intensity, it's missing today, my father is the same way, there will only be 1 coach Knight, r.i.p, we will miss you!
People who are soft and don't wanna work for anything will hate Bobby Knight, but people who are willing to sacrifice the me attitude and work hard will love Bobby Knight. He's one of the greatest coaches ever in any sport.
Agreed!
A great coach but as a human being, not so much. John Wooden was a better coach and didn't bully and humiliate the people who depended on him.
@@matthewmehegan3475John Wooden was a complicit CHEATER who passively sat by while a used car salesman bought all of his players!
John Wooden was not much of a coach until Sam Gilbert came along. A great human being would have sent Gilbert packing and followed the rules. @@matthewmehegan3475
in ALL honesty as of 12-99 i PRETTY MUCH don't like the colts pacers ball state purdue and iu AT ALL the #1 worst nba player ever if you ask me is still damon bailey
Bobby Knight’s critics and haters envied his success cause they could never achieve anything close to it. Three national titles, never had an academic or recruiting scandal, and his players who completed his entire program almost universally have positive things to say about his impact on their life. That includes IU’s current coach, Mike Woodson. Knight recruited boys to play basketball at IU; those same players left IU as men. That’s the greatest sign of an outstanding teacher and coach. Knight was surely flawed, but so are we all. IU is better off for having him as a basketball coach.
@@drewsmith5961Would you say the same thing about John Thompson who coached Georgetown?
He did charities but had a habit of choking and punching his players and assistants. Who’s to say he was a bully 🫠
@@saj8yea but Coach Thompson chocked Allen Iverson in the throat. Actually wait a minute 🤔
@@Campylax5John Thompson kept his players in line and got vilified for it. He never did the dramatics that Knight did.
What a bad comment
I grew up on University of Iowa basketball and Bobby Knight at our foe Indiana was then considered the best of the best, and very, very hard to beat.
Bob Knight was not the easiest guy to play for. Indiana basketball under Knight won 3 national titles and the program was clean because Knight expected the team to be that way. RIP Coach Knight.
In the 80's, if you said the word Indiana to an american in any of the 50 states, most common people would reply "Bobby Knight". Im glad I lived in a world with him in it.....
I would have loved to play for Coach Knight. RIP...we lost a great one!
Fn A
Was Bobby Knight a flawed person? Yes, he was like many of us. As a coach, he was tough, but a winner. However, 98% of the players he coached graduated from college, because he emphasized education. You can’t take that away from him either.
98% of the players who STAYED AT INDIANA graduated. Knight had an inordinate number of transfers in his tenure there, way before the transfer portal was ever a thing. Take out the transfers and less than 50% of the people he recruited graduated from Indiana. And before you talk about "soft" players, one of those transfers was one of the most competitive, hard-nosed players ever, Larry Bird. Knight didn't "emphasize education" when he tried to cancel scholarships of players who turned out not to be as good as he thought they were...or, worse, if they had the temerity to get injured.
if you ask me the goats are still two players i still EQUALLY love being wilt chamberlain and bill russell
He was the undisputed best coach for a long period. He had good points and bad points. 3 National Championships is extraordinary and you can't argue with that. Last undefeated season in NCAA history, can't argue with that. He played in 3 consecutive NCAA Championship games with Ohio and won one. Coached U.S, team to gold medal in the Olympics. Made his players study and do well academically, which was an extraordinary feat all its own. But he lost out to his temper, the 3 pointer and better recruiters after 1989.
Finally, someone gets it.
*after 1993. The 92 and 93 teams could have easily won a championship
@@samclark3370 but they didn’t and his last 6 seasons, they didn’t get out of the 2nd round
Coach Knight is a personal hero, he was a genius and it’s sad that some people don’t understand. Rest in peace Coach Knight
You don't get a coach K without Coach Knight
they had their falling out , that's for sure. But coach K probably got the best of RMK more times than not over the years. He also won twice as many rings.
@@dabneyoffermein595
Knight had a falling out with 90% of the people he knew
@@dabneyoffermein595
Did Knight and K really have a falling out, though? Knight congratulated K when K passed Knight's career win total.
@jimwerther753 that was my thought. He coached him back in the day and was a huge influence on coach K. Always spoke so highly of him
@@jimwerther There is no great genius without some touch of madness
The college kids of 2023 could use a bit of him now
Bob Knight was one in a million. I still remember being a young athlete waiting for his practice to be over so we could have our game. As a real fan, I was near the front trying to get a glimpse of my hero. Evidently we didn't clear the gym fast enough and an angry Knight came to where we were standing and started pushing us out. I was pushed by the greatest coach to ever live. I couldn't believe it. Rest in Peace, Coach. You've earned it.
Wait, are you saying you were waiting for his practice to end? But then you say you didn't clear the gym fast enough but weren't you waiting for their practice to so you could take the court he was using?
@@dabneyoffermein595 Southernbelle was likely referring to multiple occasions throughout weeks; perhaps spread out over numerous years of intramural sports. I am an IU grad. He was pushed out a few short years before my time. I never had the pleasure to be in the presence of Coach Knight, but it's widely accepted axiom in the state that it would have been an honor to take the abuse by Coach Knight as a player, if only to have had the opportunity to have been taught by such a great man.
@@dabneyoffermein595.Yeah, we came from our locker room to see what was going on. We didn't know he held closed practices, so were standing around the tunnel watching. Coach yelled at us to get out and we were taking our sweet time checking everyone out. He didn't like that and started shoving us out. He wasn't rough with us, he just meant business. There were a bunch of assistants clearing the gym as well. At least he didn't throw anything..LOL We were all just college girls who didn't know any better and it seemed fun at the time. We had to wait in the locker room until an ass't told us the guys had finished. This was back in '70's and women's basketball took backseat to everything.
@@southernbelle3995 thanks for the clarification for me. I'm dumb that way, lol, that's so interesting. Back when this happened, he must have been a bigger than life character for anyone coming across him, like it must have been surreal. Women's basketball has come a long long way, glad you were able to see the way it was so that you can share the differences. I have a customer and she and I always share what's going on with the strong college women's teams (D1) each year or discuss coaches or changes in it. Thanks again for giving us some nuggets of your encounter with RMK.
That makes no sense
“When my time on earth is gone,and my activities here are passed…I want they bury me upside down and my critics can kiss my @$$!”
R.I.P. “The General” Coach Robert Montgomery “Bobby” Knight!
P.S. “now back to the game!”
God bless you Coach
I’m
A born and bred Hoosier, graduated from IU, and realize the leftist who took over IU aback in 2000 destroyed Indiana Basketball, but they couldn’t extinguish the flame the glows bright for you and your program.
You warmed those cold Indiana winter nights.
May you rest in peace, and know the real Indiana faithful never left your corner!
I was there when it all started ... my first year as a student in Bloomington was Knight's 2nd year as coach ...
I was a gym rat and I played pickup games with guys from that undefeated '76 team ... I knew a few players who also told me stories about Knight ...
Having said that, CBS should have booked an interview with ME because the eulogies I've heard in the past 24 have all been mush ...
I find it fascinating how a sports illustrated writer, who probably never played a day in his life on a court, and has face like a carpet, said bad things about Bobby Knight. Well, I played ball, some serious ball in New York City division one high school, the cage and Rucker Park, and I have all the respect for this man as rude as he may appear. But then again, if you look who his buddy was at Westpoint was another guy named Bill Parcells, and I wonder how he did in the NFL. People judge things they don’t understand.
The SI journalist was a great example of why Knight hated journalists.
That guy has the worst haircut of all time
That’s right. I forgot that he and the Tuna were friends. Frequently they guest hosted and spoke at practices.
“The will to win? Everyone has that, you have to have the will TO PREPARE to win”
When Nick Nolte kicked a basketball during a game in Blue Chips that was Bobby Knight. RIP LEGEND
This country needs more coaches like Bob Knight. I would have loved to have played for him, knowing he would get the most out of my abilities.
“Praise makes us a little lazy”. So true
He was a passionate basketball coach. RIP.
A true legend of the sport of NCAA basketball
Rest in Peace coach.
Bobby Knight was the old guard, "it's my way or the highway, buster!" and "you get over here and you listen to me!" and he demanded excellence and execution, and he hated losing but he loved his players and made them tougher and made them into men. His coaching style was very stern and very tough, but he won games and championships, and you can do that stuff if you win ball games, but when you start losing is where you can't get away with that behavior. Nonetheless, Knight was a tremendous ball coach and great man who did a lot for the players that played under him. I respect the man because he still cared, even though he was a hardass. In the line of work that I am in now, I understand why Coach had to be that way, just to a lesser extent now because Knight's tactics in coaching and mentoring would not fly today.
I would say, his unwillingness to change Offenses was more detrimental than his abrasive behavior.
Bobby Knight was the thinking man's coach.
No 1 on 1 play. I wish basketball was till like this.
RIP Coach Knight. He coached the last Undefeated Team ever. Brilliant basketball mind. Sadly he kinda lost it in anger late in his coaching career.
RIP Robert Montgomery Knight one of the best coaches the game has ever seen no nonsense and no foolishness.
The term icon doesn't do Bobby Knight justice. He was bigger than that.
Bobby Knight, I definitely wished i could have played for him he is a legend. I used to live in Indiana, and the standard was definitely Basketball 1st and then Football 2nd he is definitely a legend!!! R.I.P. Coach, you will be missed
Bob was in "Blue Chips."
@Scopper81 yea, you're right ✅️
He could not have been a Drill Sergeant, I know I was a Drill Sergeant.
@@anthonylagunas6737when we're you on the trail?

So now I know where Bill Parcells got his coaching philosophy from…two absolute legends of their respective sports…RIP Coach Knight
When I heard the news of his passing, I was so upset that I tossed a folding chair across the room.
The greatest ncaa coach ever. His high graduation rate showed he cares.
R.I.P. Coach Knight. Legend!
You will see light with knight!!!
RIP Coach Knight.❤❤❤
"Are we going to run your offense, or mine?" Bob Knight
Great coaching ❤
*COACH BOB KNIGHT IS AN AMERICAN SPORT ICON.*
Kentucky Fan here. Hate Indiana, but love Bobby Knight. R.I.P!
Gotta say, hate UK as southen IN kid. But not the fans, a few family members are uk wildcats fans 🙄. But always appreciate that rivalry back in the day. It was second to NONE.
A great coach. As a person, he was a mix of greatness and evil. Sorry, folks, them's the facts.
The dialogue about paying players under the table being contrasted with today’s NIL landscape is interesting. RIP, Coach.
To be me the General represents "TOUGH LOVE" and to be Prepared for Life.
AND be your BEST by preparing. The only time I see he show any respect to a profession are physicians.
True to his word "BASKETBALL is THEE GREATEST FORM of EDUCATION". I absolutely LOVE this guy...
Played with a GUY named "Preacher Harold" forever....To give me forever memories at Purdue..He had a weird Bill Cartwright shot. Harold told me...the time he was recruited by the General and he made 100% of all his shots and turned to his boys and said "he'll will shoot just as accurately, but he'll shoot it RIGHT...Harold quit basketball and got a full tennis scholarship... "He won't shot like that for me on national TV". Can't really complain because of his methods other than LARRY BIRD..
I would have loved to play for him. There is nothing like some hard coaching to get the best out of you.
Rest in Peace Bob Knight.
"The will to will is the most overly exaggerated phenomena we have in society today. You have to have a will to prepare to win." - Bob Knight. Man, that is good advice
I hate to see him die but I bleed blue so as a KY fan we hated him but always entertaining. RIP to a great tough coach and that's real praise for someone that hated the man for a long time.
I was there when Mono Brow/Davis was there as a nurse..I wish I had a chance to beat on them. They have their own pretty boy network stadium. At least at Purdue, I had a FIVE chances to beat on Etwan Moore and Trevion Davis at the Co Rec and I showed up with a broom stick in pick up..I like the way I was disrespected by the outgoing quarterback when Anthony 'mono brow' Davis was there by the University of Kentucky. Get degrees PUNKS...
Well said.
Some might think his style of coaching was crazy/extreme but I call it tough love & it worked for him! RIP Coach Knight 🤙🏾
Yeah, you just don't put your hands on a player/student. This ain't the military brother.
@@garylivingston9052Almost all his players loved him after they graduated. Kids are soft these days, as are you.
Lol, Ok tough guy. @@lebski6033
1 - 98% graduation rate. 2 - Last undefeated college team. 3 - top level winning coach - without CHEATING. EVER. Human with flaws? Certainly. I would have my kids play for him before any other coach out there - then and now!
R.I.P. Coach Knight #IU!
I wonder what he would have been like as a football coach.
Probably even better.
Wonderful coach.
As a lifelong Syracuse fan, we were heart broken at the 87 national championship. If ‘Cuse had someone like Bob Knight we’d have a few more Natty’s to hang in the rafters. RIP Coach Knight, one the best
R.I.P COACH BOB KNIGHT.
GOD BLESS HIM AND HIS FAMILY.
COLLEGE BASKETBALL NATIONAL CHAMPION AND COLLEGE BASKETBALL LEGEND 🏀.
YOU ARE MISSED COACH.
Coach Knight was one of the very best. That SI writer was such a tool.
If you thought about quitting, you weren't strong enough.

The Best College Basketball Coach ever
You never heard of John Wooden
@@hanshawks5088 Yes I did “ I worked on Wall Street for 26 years made a fortune ..
“ Perfect Practice makes a Perfect Game .- John Wooden
But I realize in my personal valiant struggles to challenge my intellectual capacity was -
MVP ( Memorization, Visualization, Perfection ) if you can utilize this application to the process then La Vie Est Belle
@@hanshawks5088 Coach Wooden was the greatest, and didn't need to scream at his players or toss chairs to get the best out of them. His teams were incredibly successful.
“It’s the team, not the individual that counts.” “A little bit of their individuality is taken away in order to be on the team.” He molds players. Training players to reach their potential.
(Many athletes & coaches have contentious relationships w the press.).
At least Knight had courage to stand up and speak up. (I had one coach that was such a wimp. Her attitude rubbed off on us.)
Seems a lot of NCAA coaches are “belligerent”. Its tough out there. U want to win or be nice?
He lit a fire under them and he knew how to motivate them.
Story and narrative aside, can we take a minute to realize Dan Rather is playing 1 on 1 with Bobby Knight in this interview???
He was out of control as a person yet demanded complete control for those around him
Sounds familiar.
As an Illinois native, me and my friends loved Bobby Knight. We just wanted Indiana to win and shove it in the media's face Knight could never coach today's baby boys.
Excellent play was knights goal!!!’
It's fair to criticize Knight for some of the methods in which he used. Even so, the people who despised Knight deep down understand that his principals of what he believed is what is needed to achieve victory and a prolonged thriving society. Today's younger generations would greatly benefit if they we're challenged this way. Life is hard. It's even harder when led by weak leaders. Bobby Knight wasn't a weak leader. RIP Coach!
Rip to the goat 🐐
You will be missed Robert!
R.I.P. Coach.
If there was no Coach Knight there’d be no Coach K at Duke…
Is that Ted Kitchel at 10:24 ?
RIP to the Great Bobby Knight.
Cool watching him shoot hoops.
Bob Knight was there to do a job, and was one of the best to ever do it. He did make some mistakes, but he never resorted to cheating, or boosters, or any money management organizations. And made sure that his players went to class and graduated. RIP Robert Montgomery Knight. 🫡
Curry Kirkpatrick is the definition of a beta...and this was 43 years ago. Now look at our world. The world needs more Bobby Knight. RIP coach Knight
@4:04, who in the hell is curry kirkpatrick? you put that clown on tv to critique one of the greatest coaches in history.
RIP coach Knight I committed to Texas tech when he was a coach but they fired him thr year i was going to transfer to texas tech such a great guy to me
Texas Tech never fired him. He retired midseason and passed it off to his son. Your story is bogus.
Love Coach Knight, but I would never be anywhere near him if there was a folding chair within his reach.
I'm sick and tired of losing to Purdue!
Chicago sports columnist Bill Gleason once made a comparison of Al Maguire and Knight before the two teams met in '76 NCAA tourney ...
HE said: "... there is one big difference between the two ... Maguire pretends to be nutty, but Knight on the other hand, is authentically eccentric" ...
Why was Knight wearing an outdoor jacket indoors? At 6:15
you should put what day this aired in the description.
Young Dan Rather
Coach Knight was the Greatest of All Time
This is about the time people started being concerned with "feelings" - to hell with your feelings! Grow a set!
The guy was the worst excuse for a human being there has ever been on this planet.
Insane money out there in college basketball--------bringing in 1 million dollars in one season, whew 12:58
Knight, anger issues and all, controlled the enviornment to break down and build up his players, and protecting the culture of the program by eliminating any poisonous influences. While he was an extremist with aforementioned anger issues that led him to pushing buttons that he shouldn't have, he was one special leader of MEN.
Can you imagine what Knight’s opinion was of that reporter’s hairdoo?
Coach Knight "socked a fella" LOL
His charisma was undeniable, but I lost any respect for him when he came out as a diehard Trump supporter. You cannot pretend to represent the values of the United States and yet brazenly back a traitor. Comparing his players to hunting dogs, and stating that his team was not a democracy, likely showed why he related to Trump. The former openly adores dictators, while the latter, Knight, was himself one.
I see Karma finally caught up to the guy.
