That’s the one whom President Trump calls “Bobby Knight”!
May his Memory be Eternal!!!!
I liked watching you take take the bull by the horns at Texas Tech. RIP, Coach.
I’ll try to throw a chair across the room in remembrance
I loved him - warts and all. Every player that ever played for him (and honored his commitment) would probably say the same thing.
#2 behind Wooden imo, but a better molder of men.
Being from Indiana I used to go to those games in Bloomington. I am sad to hear this because he brought many hours if fun and excitement. It has never been the same since he left Indiana U.
RIP Bobby
As an IU basketball fan from childhood , who had season tickets for many years , I am saddened.
RIP Coach.
( I wonder if they will bury him face down as he wished?)
RIP Coach Knight.
Rest in Peace, Bobby…
Great Coach, great man. Thank you Coach Knight and God Bless.
RIP.
We’ll see if his family honors his wish to be buried upside down so his critics could come by and kiss his ass.
One of a kind. A great man, a great American.
Thank you for being who you were, Coach Knight.
Even though Mr. Knight wasn’t a genuine Hoosier, he will always be known as a Hoosier icon. He was my namesake, and as a native Hoosier with the same name, it was always a conversation started until about 10 years ago. RIP, MY BROTHER.
Mixed feelings about Knight. Tough love approach was good up to a point and made for some great teams but he went over the line at times. I like Kentucky and one of Knight’s great teams gave us an early season drubbing in the 70s. But when Knight’s undefeated Hoosiers were upset by Kentucky in the tournament, Knight wouldn’t shake Coach Hall’s hand.
Kentucky coach John Calipari says you have to be really careful with the tough love coaching today. Some kids rise to the challenge but some come from fatherless environments, are oversensitive and will shut down and maybe transfer. I wouldn’t have wanted to play for Knight, too intense.
Many years ago I was part of a Boy Scout contingent that was at a conference at University of Indiana. As fate would have it I got to meet Bobby Knight. Very nice guy.
I believe it was something like 98% of his players graduated from college. He made sure they went to class and made sure they took hard classes, none of the BS players take today so they can pass.
Watching him was usually more entertaining than watching his teams..RIP
Purdue grad here. He’s the only good thing from that shiddy skool.
Smart man and a great basketball coach.
One of the greatest basketball minds of all time.
