I went to Bobby Knight's camp in 1991. He is exactly what you would expect, shouting, and cussing. And he would leave after opening remarks every day, and at the end of the day before dinner he would talk to us again and act as if he was there all day and tell us he saw good things...
it was abuse. If you don't want players playing you for real, then tell the guy "don't steal it" after he does the first time..........don't nail him in the face with the ball.
Why not ask Dakich about the time Knight allegedly entered Gary Andrean's locker room when he was a senior? ... I grew up in the area and this story is legendary in these parts ... Knight and an asst were speaking with Dakich and his coach after the game when all of a sudden right there out of the blue Knight popped him! ... cold-cocked right in the face ... Knight supposedly then said he wanted him to come to IU ... legend also has it that Dakich was the one player who would go after Knight and retaliate whenever Knight touched him ...
Larry Bird left because he was incessantly bullied by Kent Benson. Benson drilled into Bird about being homesick and Knight never stood up for Bird, because Benson was his guy. Bird had enough and he transferred.
@@utopian3d Bird's problem wasn't directly with Knight. His problem was with Kent Benson, who mercilessly bullied him. Now back then, Benson was the cock of the walk, so to speak, and Coach Knight knew what he had in Benson, and Bird was just another freshman. Coach Knight didn't really protect Bird, and so coupled with homesickness, he just chose to go to Indiana State because better to be treated like a star than a pleb.
@@NeverDauntedRadioNetworkthat’s probably not wrong but Bird of all people probably would have taken the BS, and probably dished out quite a bit, if there weren’t other factors involved. I think people hate Knight so much they just make every conceivable situation about him on some level.
Dakich was a backup who slowly got more time as his career at Indiana progressed and a had an okay-for-a-bench-player senior season, with good shooting.........5.3 pts a game, 53% from the field, 73% from the line, 2.7 assists, 2 rebounds.
@@dabneyoffermein595and Indiana was 4-10 in March before Bob got fired. The game passed him up. Dude was an overrated head coach who benefited from just having way more talent than other teams. Once the playing field started to level he was exposed as a mediocre coach

Why isn't there a tape of Knight hitting Dakich in the face? That would be worth checking out over and over again.
Probably because he wouldn't stop talking

That's hilarious. Shady.
@@dabneyoffermein595 Knight also cussed during orientation on Monday morning in front of all the parents.
@@larryhayes6389 -- what cuss words did he use, they were probably the milder ones.
He said "God Damn" and "Ass" but he said them over and over, in regards to if we misbehave we will be expelled from the camp...
@@larryhayes6389 --- Wow, I see. Yea, he probably struck the fear of God into those kids and parents.
It wasn't abuse. Knight was showing a technique. It was practice. Dakich, probably unknowingly, interfered with that.
knight was a dik
Coach Knight was just demonstrating. Probably not a good idea to show up Bobby.
Everything knight did was abuse. He's a jackarse

There’s no way Dam Dakich weighed 110 lbs.
Yeah, I think he’s 6’5”. He’d have been dead if he was 110 pounds!
He was exaggerating.@@timoh32

It makes zero sense that he was late to practice etc as the HC. Weird.
Huh? He was hunting! 😄
@peteshallcross787 the day that he would cancel practice, it makes sense.
I WONDER WHY THE GREAT LARRY BIRD LEFT!!!??

Bird transferred before practice started and has said that he and knight would have had no problems.

Larry Bird never played for Boby Knight. Knight coached IU but Bird played for ISU.
GOOD for Knight
Ego maniac
Too bad it wasn't a bowling ball.
Anyone count how many times this guy said, "literally"? Maybe that would be a good drinking game! PS He misused the word every time.
Wasn’t a fan of Bobby Knight
Bobby Knight's teams intense man to man help defense is legendary!
Bob Knight abused his players and DP is worried about his legacy?

Based Bobby Knight
He Won!!!!!!
He was a bully. That’s why he supported Trump. Birds of a feather.😉
Speaking as a coach, what a sick man Bobby Knight was. Worst thing is that some want to emulate him.
So you waited until he was dead... and then tracked down this video to whine about him? You probably coach girl's soccer.
Thank you very little , !
Ok, chevy.@@michaelterry4394
No getting around it Knight was a bully and a POS.
Fantasic! Double D is the man!
I hate bob knight. I always hated bob knight. Classic, hardass, bully.
wuss
Bobby Knight rules. Truth.
Indiana should could have had 15 titles with the talent in the area. Not with Knight coaching.
Bob knight rules! No matter what you say!
Love Knight , but he was an ***hole that abused his power on far too many occasions.
@@jhock24 Look at Indiana now? When was the last time they won a championship?
Yeah his legacy is just tarnished forever
@J Day and Kelvin Sampson was a decent person?

Bobby Wight hit me in face with the ball, whaaaaaa! Grow some.
Okay Wannabe tough guy.
